Italy in 5 Minutes: Colosseum, Venice, Rome and More

Italy in 5 minutes: tour the Colosseum, Venice, Florence, Pompeii and more in one sweeping journey through Italy's greatest wonders. From ancient Rome to the Renaissance, Italy packed more history, art, and beauty into one boot-shaped peninsula than anywhere else on earth. This episode visits twelve icons: the mighty Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica, Brunelleschi's dome in Florence, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the canals of Venice, the frozen streets of Pompeii, Milan's marble cathedral, Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, the Amalfi Coast, the hills of Tuscany, Sicily's Greek temples, and the genius of Leonardo da Vinci.
