If you want to binge on watching videos about Italy, here are some I’ve found. Mostly on food. Mostly about Rome. I will not list all of them as there are too many, but a few that will give you some leads to follow.
Rick Stein is one of my favorite TV chef presenters. The thinking chef’s chef. Here in Corsica and Sardinia.
Alex Polizzi is a British-Italian TV presenter. Here’s an episode from Puglia.
Insider is a channel about food. This host is Italian and in this short video, the topic is Limoncello. There are many other videos from Insider like this one pasta in Bari. Or focaccia in Genoa.
WocomoCook is another YouTube channel that I found. Here is an episode about food in Umbria.
A show on pizza from Munchies.
A vlog channel by expat guys who live in Rome.
Choice TV show on Roman food.
Farm to Table, here in Tuscany.
Two Greedy Italians. Need I say more?
Floyd was a chef who had a good time, this time in Liguria.
If you want months worth of binge watching, Rick Steves provides! Rick Steves has eight hours of free TV shows on Italy alone! He also has free audio tours, apps, books, etc. He is much raunchier on his audio tours! If you want a private guide in your ear, he has those! If you just want to watch him give good advice, watch him here.
Also, many people like Dream of Italy. Here, the host is in Amalfi and Naples.
Italy Unpacked is a more scholarly approach.
Then, there’s this guy is quite wealthy (he is an angel investor and helped start Virgin America) but decided to make a travel show because he didn’t find any that matched his lifestyle. Swish.

Another BBC documentary, this one on Sicily.
A great way to learn history is with Tony Robinson. He is a great story teller, here about Caligula.
Reel Truth History makes documentaries. This one on Rome.
And, if you want to watch people buying A Place in the Sun in Italy…
