Who is Giuseppe Olmo, and what about the lady in charge at the Medici Villa La Ferdinanda? Who were the Etruscan heroes of the past, what can we learn from the treasures found in their tombs? And last but not least: who invented the Italian gelato? That’s a lot of questions that I will try to answer in this video.
