Traveling to Italy Via DVD

A DVD called "Rick Steve's Europe" is taking me on a trip through Italy. The DVD is from the library. We've been to Venice, Verona, Padova, Florence and now are visiting Assisi and Sienna. His programs always interested me, no matter where he traveled. This DVD is 4 hours long. I've been watching it for almost an hour and a half already. It's very interesting and gives one an idea of what parts of Italy you'd like to visit in person. It is amazing how "old" buildings and streets have remained unchanged by modern life. A similar thing in our country would be torn down to put up a high rise or a "parking lot". When the DVD ends I'm hoping that I'll have a better idea of all that is available to the tourist when traveling to Italy. I wish it were possible to taste some of the food which looks delicious.
