Dream of Italy: Tuscan Sun Special

The series DREAM OF ITALY captures the essence of what travelers and viewers are looking for-unique food and wine experiences, a deep connection to the local people, and a chance to explore genealogy and roots. In the new half-hour special DREAM OF ITALY: TUSCAN SUN SPECIAL, host Kathy McCabe travels to the hilltop town of Cortona to meet New York Times best-selling author Frances Mayes. Mayes' beloved 1996 memoir Under The Tuscan Sun recounts many travelers' quintessential fantasy: moving to Italy to renovate a countryside villa.

Now, in the TUSCAN SUN SPECIAL, viewers have the chance to see the Italy that Mayes knows and loves. The author and her husband invite Kathy for a tour of their villa, Bramasole, including a glimpse of the rarely seen interior. Mayes then introduces Kathy to her neighborhood, a place where visitors can feel an authentic sense of community within just a few days. Later, Cortona's chef Silvia gives a cooking lesson with local ingredients, and master jeweler Sebastian explains Tuscany's gold-smithing tradition.
