Venice and the North
Alex embarks on a voyage of discovery back to her roots as she revisits some of the places that have special memories for her as well as exploring some of the country's little-known treasures. She begins with a tour of northern Italy to uncover some of its hidden secrets including a prison in Venice with a difference and ventures to a gem in Lombard Alps, before taking in the fashionable sights that Italy's capital of cool Milan has to offer - here she gets the chance to admire some of opera singer Maria Callas's unforgettable stage costumes.
