The television series<\/strong> was a visual feast, with a \u2018pescaturismo\u2019 in Camogli<\/strong>, Liguria where Gino could fish with the help of the fisherman and prepare the fish to eat right there on the boat. In Recco<\/strong>, in Liguria he made the regional focaccia a special type of flat bread unique to the area. And, of course, you can\u2019t go to Liguria without visiting the famous basil fields and seeing pesto made in the traditional way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Location Producer <\/strong>and Fixer<\/strong>, Fabio Di Segni <\/strong>organized shoots for Gino in Siena<\/strong>, Prato, Florence, Parma, Modena, Bologna, Verona and Venice<\/strong>, visiting characteristic places and interesting people along the way. Gino sampled the delicious peaches of Prato, and made the traditional Sienese panforte with a spectacular view over the city. In Venice, Gino rode on a gondola <\/strong>with a Venetian countess to visit typical Venetian places to eat cicchetti<\/strong>, which he then prepared himself on a balcony overlooking the Grand Canal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Tuscany, he spent an afternoon with monks who make a very special chianti wine <\/strong>in their monastery. In Modena<\/strong>, Gino tried the famous mortadella, and in Bologna <\/strong>he couldn\u2019t leave without making and eating tortellini. And in Verona<\/strong>, he visited the rice fields and learnt the traditional way to make their very own risotto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
