 VERY well done...it felt like I was really there January 28, 2010
Vince M. Rubino (Ohio)
Man, watch this DVD on a High-Def TV and you feel like you are really in Italy. They do a nice job of showing the beauty of Italy while showing the day-to-day stories of a couple of actual Italians. The stories keep you captive as they are unique to Italian culture. This is a tremendous disc for educational purposes or just for those that miss being in Italia...I highly recommend!
