Wonders - The Peninsula of Treasures

Season 2 Episode 4: Between Peaks and Hills: from Urbino to Mont Blanc

The journey through the treasures of our country starts from a gem set in the hills of the Marche, Urbino, a city rich in history, art and culture, a wonder of the Italian Renaissance. We will visit the majestic Palazzo Ducale, built by Federico da Montefeltro with its hidden treasures, and then we will go to what was the house where one of the most famous artists of all time was born: Raffaello Sanzio, one of the masters of the Renaissance who began his extraordinary career right in Urbino. The second stop of the episode is the highest peak in Italy: Mont Blanc, a sort of stone cathedral with many peaks that exceed 4000 metres. It is there that mountaineering was born, the heroic times of which will be relived by recalling the Duke of Abruzzi, one of the pioneers of this activity.
