Antonio Carluccio's Southern Italian Feast(1998)

Antonio Carluccio's Southern Italian Feast follows the legendary Italian chef as he journeys through Southern Italy's most evocative regions. Starting in Sardinia and Sicily, then moving through Campania, Calabria, Rome, Puglia and Basilicata, Carluccio discovers the authentic dishes that define each area. He learns traditional pizza-making in Naples, joins shepherds for mountain feasts in the Barbagia, and ventures out on a moonlit octopus-fishing expedition. The series captures impromptu vineyard barbecues, rustic communal meals, and the deep connection between the land and its food. Carluccio's warmth and genuine passion for Italian cuisine shine as he meets locals, explores markets, and celebrates the region's culinary heritage with both reverence and joy.
