The first episode of what turned into a four-series (so far) adventure for Andrew and Georgio!
Beginning in Bologna...
Andrew Graham-Dixon visits a new exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, which contains a treasure trove of the world's most important illuminated manuscripts.
Andrew takes a journey into the art and soul of the Samurai, who ruled Japan for 700 years, and were much more than mere warriors...
The second leg of the journey takes Andrew and Giorgio to Lombardy, and Giorgio's home town.
Andrew and Giorgio move north to Piedmont in the final episode of the series.
