Italy Unpacked: First look pictures of Andrew Graham-Dixon and Giorgio Locatelli’s new adventure
The art critic and Italian chef pack their bags once again and discover more culture and food in the sunny European nation
British historian and art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon and Italian chef Giorgio Locatelli are back together for a second series of Italy Unpacked (9pm, January 10 on BBC2).
In the first episode, the pair whisk us away to the mountainous area of Liguria, which inspired English Romantic poets. On their journey, they pass Genoa, with it’s Baroque architecture, incredible art history and spectacular facades. Then it’s over to lesser-discovered areas of Tuscany, to learn about the Renaissance art in Pistoia.
Naturally, Locatelli will be creating an array of regional culinary delights along the way, including treats such as pesto alla Genovese and the catch of the day.
See below for a first look at their adventures:
