Gli splendori della Grecia Antica (seconda versione) - S14.E16

Ulisse – il piacere della scoperta will lead us to learn about the history of Greek civilization, which, expanding into the Mediterranean basin, gave rise to what we know today as Magna Graecia in Italy. The splendors of Ancient Greece. The Greek cities, scattered across the Mediterranean, reached almost 700 and of these almost a third are located in Italy. Alberto Angela will tell us about Ancient Greece at the time of its maximum splendor and will guide us on a spectacular visit to some of the most important archaeological sites in our territory: Paestum, Syracuse, Agrigento. Temples, theaters and palaces which still today tell us a lot about the Greeks and also about ourselves: their daily life, the female figure and love relationships, social and political organisation, sporting competitions, wars. We will see how the Greeks revolutionized the way we understood civilization and imposed models destined to influence the Western world for millennia to come.
