Explore the bard's love affair with Italy in this bewitching two-part series hosted by renowned author and historian Francesco Da Mosto.
Bringing a fresh eye to the settings of some of the writer's classic plays, the series journeys across length and breadth of Italy, exploring breath-taking locations, debunking myths and bringing into focus how important the great country was to the playwright. Da Mosto examines how Italy was also a source of inspiration to the bard and somewhere that he could use as a 'decoy setting' for his controversial views on London society during the Elizabethan era.
From Caesar's streets in Rome to Juliet's balcony in Verona, Francesco Da Mosto delivers a charming and insightful look at a little known side of the bard and his work.
