In this episode, we’re diving into the glamorous and action-packed world of James Bond. Like many others, 007 just can't seem to stay away from Italy. From the narrow streets of Matera to the shimmering waters of Lake Como, Italy has served as a stunning backdrop for some of Bond’s most iconic moments.
We’ll visit Venice, where Bond’s romantic interludes and high-stakes action unfold against the city’s timeless canals and Lake Como, the setting for Bond’s recovery and the epitome of luxury retreats. The journey continues in Matera, the ancient city transformed into a stage for heart-pounding car chases in No Time to Die, and Siena, where the chaos of the Palio di Siena adds a dramatic backdrop to Bond’s relentless pursuit. Finally, we’ll explore Rome, where thrilling car chases bring the Eternal City to life under the cover of night and a few other locations you might want to check out.
Whether you’re a James Bond superfan or someone who loves a theme for your Italian adventure, this episode has something for you. Hit play, and let’s step into the world of 007 as we uncover the magic of James Bond in Italy.
