Splendors of Sicily

Ulisse - The Pleasure of Discovery Season 13 Episode 11

Overview:
From the summit of Mount Etna to the sea depths of the Aegadian Islands: Alberto Angela explores Sicily's treasures. A journey through the island's myths and history, from Homeric legends to the various Greek, Roman, and Arab rulers who left behind splendid archaeological traces, such as the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, the many Greek theaters, including the magnificent Segesta, and the mosaics of Piazza Armerina. Equally fundamental are the legacies still evident today in the daily life, cuisine, agriculture, and many traditions and dialects of the land. With Alberto Angela, we explore daily life in Roman times through the stories of the mosaics at the Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina: one of the most impressive testimonies of Roman civilization.
