Italy: Chinese Italia

Season 8 Episode 802 | 26m 50s

Danielle travels through Italy to experience the deep, lived fusion between Chinese and Italian cultures. From Milan’s Chinatown to Prato’s working class dumpling shops and Florence’s street food, she discovers unexpected overlaps: hand-worked dough, reverence for butchery, and a shared belief that feeding people well is an act of care. This is Chinese Italia.
