Florence is the most beautiful city in the world dear Francesco. Not Venice. If you ever been to Venice you know it smells like...... all day long, 365 days per year. Period
A horrendous misrepresentation of history if ever I saw one. I would expect Francesco's views regarding his home city to be biased but his retelling of the events of the 4th Crusade in 1204 was a pack of lies. The venetians are unchanged in my eyes, they will always be lying, treacherous back stabbing pirates.
"Italy Top to Toe" is also excellent, but very annoyingly it isn't on DVD. I have episodes 2, 3 and 4 of Top to Toe videoed from BBC4, but I missed the the first episode - so if anyone can upload that one, that would be great!
thanks unclemontie ! this is by far the best most dramatic documentary i have seen so far .told by a native francesco what a choice thanks francesco for taking time a way from your children and family to do this excetional work.love.
thank you,thank you,thank you, I just really enjoy Francesco and his views of Italy and especially Venice....do you also have his Tip to Toe series to add?
I'm Venitian too :) and this is the best tribute to Venice I've ever seen.
Grazie Francesco!

Where's your evidence?
Actually iff you watch the program you'll see the orginal people of the lagoon where estern christian. Not black.
They said that about my country Scotland as well. Fantasy! As the rulers where clearly white NORMAN.

Francesco da Mosto is such an incredibly knowledgeable man with a great love for his city. He's a great presenter.
