Clive Myrie's Italian Road Trip

Clive explores the ancient subterranean city where people have lived underground for millennia and meets the Scotsman who swapped office life for olive farming.

In Sicily, Clive joins geologists working on Mount Etna to predict its next big eruption and heads to Modica to learn how to make an ancient recipe chocolate bar.

Clive travels to the heart of Sicily to cook lunch in a community kitchen set up by Jamie Oliver’s former restaurant manager and spends the night in a 700-year-old mansion.

On the Bay of Naples, Clive finds out why the foothills of an active volcano are the perfect location for a farm and why Italy’s first trains were made in Britain.

Clive spent his fiftieth birthday on the touristy island of Capri. This time, he wants to meet some locals - which is how he ends up being invited to play tambourine at a wedding.

Immersing himself in Naples’s street life, Clive tries crafting one of the city’s characterful presepi figurines and bags a backstage pass to the world’s oldest opera house.
