If you love Italy, if you’ve been to Italy or if you want to go to Italy, this is a must-see series! No kidding – you have to watch Meraviglie: A Tour of Italy’s Wonders. Host Alberto Angela from the fabulous A Night In… series takes us to some amazing, haunting, gorgeous places, and he’s a knowledgeable and terrific guide – non-intrusive and not irritating. And thanks to the drone camera shots, you’ll see everything from unprecedented vantage points.
