Milan, Italy: Leonardo da Vinci

Epitome of Renaissance genius, Leonardo da Vinci spent some of his most productive years in Milan, enjoying the patronage of the Sforza family. In fact, Leonardo is identified with Milan more than any other Italian city, and contributed to Milan's reputation for design and aesthetics.

As far as I know it is exclusive to PBS. Rick has always been focused on using travel as a way to personally enrich oneself and learn. As opposed to Samantha Brown who I often find is more geared towards just a superficial understanding of the culture and just more about "having fun".

Thank you for that great video and for mentioning the fact that you do need an appointment to see the Last Supper! Many of my guests come to Milan and don't realize this.

Are the RS travel shows exclusive to PBS? Can the Travel Channel acquire a season? It would be nice to see the difference with Rick's counterpart Samantha Brown.
