America's leading authority on European travel, returns to transport public television viewers to the continent's bustling cities, quaint villages and picturesque countryside.
In the shadow of Venice, we visit three great cities.
Padova ("Padua" in English) is famed for its venerable university, precious Giotto frescoes, and pilgrim-packed Basilica.
Verona is a hit with aficionados of Roman ruins and "Romeo and Juliet" fans.
And Ravenna, with its shimmering mosaics, was once the western bastion of the Byzantine Empire.
We enliven each stop with a tasty dose of Italian dolce vita.
