Speciale Ulisse: Piero Angela, un viaggio lungo una vita

Alberto Angela celebrates the centenary of Andrea Camilleri's birth with a trip to the places of Inspector Montalbano, including Scicli, Ragusa and the Valley of the Temples, meeting the cast of the series and paying homage to the writer.

A nocturnal journey through the artistic wonders of Vatican City. Alberto Angela makes us discover famous monuments - such as the dome of St. Peter's, the sublime Pietà, the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel - and the gardens immersed in the quiet night. He takes us on the trail of the elderly Michelangelo and the young Raphael, also discovering places normally closed to the public such as the Secret Archive, the gendarmerie, the barracks of the Swiss Guards. He tells us a long story of power, spirituality and patronage that has also known dramatic moments. Thanks to the techniques of the scientific police - almost in a modern CSI - Alberto Angela will be able to revive the city of the Popes in a new light.

Pompeii, 79 A.D., the night before the eruption. The journey of “Tonight in Pompeii” with Alberto Angela begins here, in the hours leading up to the catastrophe. Minute by minute, we’ll follow the tragedy that forever marked ancient history, recounting the reactions, the emotions, and the flight. And what happened afterward. We’ll see many places frozen in time, just like Pompeii: Herculaneum, with its marvelous, still-intact thermal baths and the fabulous jewels found on the skeletons of those who fled; Stabiae and Oplonti, with their lavish villas featuring swimming pools and views of the Gulf of Naples.

Echo is a youngster who can't quite decide if it's time to grow up and take on new responsibilities-or give in to her silly side and just have fun. Dolphin society is tricky, and the coral reef that Echo and his family call home depends on all of its inhabitants to keep it healthy. But Echo has a tough time resisting the many adventures the ocean has to offer.

Alberto Angela retraces the stages of the largest military landing in history, recounting the preparation and consequences, up to the liberation of Paris on 25 August 1944, which ideally marks the end of the great operation that began with D-Day.
