BBC - Italy Unpacked: Looking to the Future

The second leg of Andrew Graham-Dixon and Giorgio Locatelli’s journey takes Giorgio home, to Lombardy, a region brimming with engineering innovations and the influences brought by the proximity to Northern Europe, always with an eye to the future. The first stop is of course Corgeno, Giorgio’s hometown, where Andrew is the guest at a typical Sunday Lunch at the Locatelli’s home. Andrew repays him with a visit to some very unusual frescos by Lorenzo Lotto, hidden in a private chapel. The Christ with long fingernails is one of Andrew’s favourite frescos.
