Bravo! Encore! Encore!
As a lover of all things Italian, and Venetian in particular, I was so happy to stumble across snippets of Francesco Da Mosto's three BBC series on YouTube. Wanting more, I scoured the web - starting with Amazon.com - for a place to purchase the DVDs. Not available in the United States. What a travesty! I was heartbroken. But then I surfed across the pond and decided to give ordering from Amazon.co.uk a go. What a wonderful experience. I was concerned that it would be less than flawless and something of a headache. Not so. My fretting was for nothing. When I went to pay, all of my info from Amazon.com was already there and I didn't have to recreate my shipping addresses or anything. Seamless integration with my Amazon.com account. Made the purchase a breeze and a pleasure. Anyway, back to the DVDs. Each series - on Venice, on Italy 'Top to Toe', and on the formerly mighty Venetian Republic spanning the Mediterranean - is absolutely riveting and wonderful. The cinematography is beautiful, and truly 'takes you there'. Francesco da Mosto is a dramatic, adorable guide to all things Italian. His charm and knowledge, set against breathtaking backdrop after breathtaking backdrop, make this collection a joy. I watched the entire box set - 6 DVDs in all - in the span of a weekend. I couldn't stop wanting more! And was sad to see it end (and so I watched again, immediately).
If you are considering purchasing this set and do not have an all-Region DVD player on either your TV or computer, fear not. Your computer's DVD player can be changed to read the DVDs temporarily. But as you are only allowed to change the region code 4 times (I believe), I would recommend committing a second DVD-drive to reading European Region discs; if you have a second drive available (that is what I did; and internal/external DVD drives are relatively cheap, so consider buying one and making it your dedicated all-Region or European Region player ... from Amazon!).
Anywho, fantastic series. I can't recommend highly enough. Hope Francesco takes to his Alfa Romeo Spider or the Black Swan or any other mode of transportation again, to show us more of Italy ... or anywhere. I'd follow him via video without hesitation.
