[intercom chiming]

[Eugene Levy] They say to travel is to live.

Well, maybe, if a day at the airport doesn't suck the life out of you first.

I mean, where else would you be told to arrive two hours early...

- [metal detector beeping] - ...only to become dangerously close

to being two hours late?

Still, I think my travels last year were good for me.

They seemed to broaden my outlook.

To a degree.

So now, I'm taking on what is apparently a must-do

for any respectable traveler.

[intercom chiming]

I'm doing Europe.

All right. Where are we, exactly?

I'm going all continental...

from the very top to the very bottom.

I'm heading off the beaten track to discover some real hidden gems...

Are you getting this?

...and embrace this budding spirit for adventure.

Look at me. No hands.

Oh.

They're right here. What is this, the bow?

I'll be educating my taste buds...

- [laughs] - Wow, that was so good.

[whistles] Grapes are ready.

- ...and trying to live like a local. - [dancers singing, cheering]

- Welcome to my village. - [laughs]

- [Levy] This is insane. - [sheep bleating]

I just saved your life. Remember me.

I'm packing any worries in my luggage...

[imitates moose call]

Here they come. Here they come.

You never know what the body's gonna do when it's in abject terror.

I don't think I've done anything quite like this since I was a kid.

- [cheering] - ...and I'm about to utter three words

I've never said before.

Ready for takeoff.

Okay, let's be honest.

You would never come to me for travel advice, and I don't blame you.

But if you did, I would say

this is hands down my favorite country to visit in the world.

[Levy] My love for Italy was sparked by visits to Rome and Venice.

Now, I'm back to discover what it is about this place

that always leaves me wanting more.

The Italians talk about la dolce vita, the sweet life.

Well, my life's been pretty good so far,

but who wouldn't want a bit of a sugar rush every now and then?

But how do they achieve that life? What's their secret?

I'm hoping Florence and the rest of Tuscany might hold the answer.

[horn honks]

- My name is Sauro. - Eugene.

Okay, nice to meet you. Here you are.

[Levy] Grazie mille.

I've just used up all my Italian.

[chuckles]

[Levy] In Germany, I drank wheatgrass

and, um, chewed broth.

So now I'm ready for a spot of indulgence.

And where better to look than in beautiful Tuscany?

Starting in Florence, the region's capital.

The home of the Renaissance.

It's really a stunning view from up here, Sauro.

[Sauro] Yeah, it's a perfect view.

[Levy] A city stuffed with art, culture, and...

- [horns honking] - Oh, trash.

- [Sauro] Yeah, I think so. - [Levy] Not exactly what I had in mind.

I can see garbage trucks back home.

There's a reason they might need a lot of garbage trucks...

Oh, boy.

...a lot of tourists.

Florence draws 16 million each year.

A lot of people wanna see Florence.

Uh-huh.

I'm not proud of it.

But if you think I'm a bad traveler, then I'm a terrible tourist.

There's too many people.

But if I'm gonna see Florence properly...

Wow.

...I'll need to learn a vital skill,

the ancient art of sightseeing.

Hi, welcome to Italy, Eugene. Such a pleasure to meet you.

- Buongiorno. - Buongiorno.

Good to see you.

Welcome to Italy, and welcome to Florence.

Uh, let's go around, and I'll show you around.

Yeah, sure.

As a guide, Emiliano is passionate about Italian history,

culture, and Florence itself.

Every Italian is connected to Florence.

Our language itself is from Florence.

It's part of ourselves, to be honest. It's difficult to put it into words.

- Uh, I can tell you're Italian. - Yeah. I know. We... [chuckling]

That... You can't help yourself.

Could you talk with your hands in your pocket?

I don't think I can. [laughs]

That would, uh... [chuckles] ...mute me.

[both chuckle]

Hand gestures are, uh, part of the... of the culture.

There are more than 250 official Italian hand gestures.

But I'll teach you, uh, a basic one.

Let's say that you... Someone that you don't know just comes up,

- and you don't want to be bothered. - Yeah.

You can say... You would say, "What do you want?

What do you want?"

- See with the... - Ah!

- Ah, yeah, yeah. - What do you want?

Yes, what do you want?

- What... You can do... - Yeah, what do you want?

The attitude, you see?

Hey, what, uh... Hey, what?

You can be seen as aggressive if you don't know who you're talking to.

I wouldn't do that

- to someone that I don't know, but... - [Levy] No.

- You never know. - You never know.

[both] You never know.

[Levy] Even if I'm suddenly conscious of everything I do with my hands,

I'm ready for my tour.

[Emiliano] You're in front of one of the most beautiful cathedrals

in Italy. It's Santa Maria del Fiore.

Well, I-I was looking down at it when we started our little trip.

But you don't have any idea of how massive this is.

Think about it. 30,000 people can fit here.

[Levy] Started in 1296,

the cathedral took 140 years to build...

- This is absolutely breathtaking. - I-I know. I know. It's insane.

...and right at the top is a marvel of Renaissance engineering.

[Emiliano] At the time, it was challenging to build the duomo.

It was incredible.

Sixteen years... [chuckles] ...to build just the dome.

Wow.

Made of four million bricks,

it is still the largest of its kind in the world.

I can only imagine what the inside is like.

[Emiliano] Do you want to line up for the cathedral?

[Levy] Uh, no. I don't do, uh, lineups.

I just can't do it. I'm not doing a big tour group.

Not doing that... [mimicking tour guide]

Just to be able to be here, look at it.

There's me, and there's the duomo.

That's it. I've seen it.

Luckily, I'm with a guide who, without all the fuss,

can get me to the things you really wanna see...

- There it is. - Yeah, it's incredible.

It is incredible.

...like Michelangelo's David.

This is just so beautiful.

- Is this the original David or... - This is a copy.

This is a perfect copy of the David.

- Oh, it's a copy. - Yes, yes, yes, yes.

I imagine the lineups in the museum

- to see the actual David. - Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. You have to buy the ticket,

- plus the line, yeah... - Right, lineups and lineups.

Well, you could see... You don't have to line up to see this.

Okay, so this might be a replica, but I've saved myself some time.

And I've still seen a replica of something world-famous.

Thanks to the biblical story, David is every bit the Jewish icon.

Well, maybe not every bit.

The only thing that struck me was the genitalia.

Huh.

It kind of looks like an uncircumcised penis,

but David was Jewish.

Proof that Michelangelo never took any shortcuts.

Look at me. I'm an art critic already.

And I've only been here an hour.

But for the full experience,

Emiliano insists I need my own version of Renaissance art.

This is the home of artists like Michelangelo, da Vinci,

so, you know, you must have a taste of it.

- Caricatures, you know? Uh... - [Levy] Caricature.

[Emiliano] Yes, yes.

[Levy] It's a rite of passage for any visitor to the city.

Please.

Boy, this could be awfully frightening.

Big me... Give me big smile.

Look this way, mister.

[Levy] Like it or not, this is my big smile.

Don't work too fast now.

[chuckles]

[Levy] Emiliano assures me caricatures have a noble history.

[Emiliano] Even Leonardo da Vinci used to make caricatures, you know?

- Uh, da Vinci made caricatures? - [Emiliano] Yeah, for fun.

Well, I... Where is he now?

[chuckles]

[Levy] I can honestly say I've never felt less like the Mona Lisa.

- [artist] Okay. - Uh-huh.

- [artist] One, two... - Oh, my God.

- Yeah, hit me. - [artist imitates fanfare]

- Hit... - [artist chuckles]

Happy.

[Levy] Well, now I have to smile more.

[Emiliano chuckling] Right?

[Levy] As I head off, feeling literally as pretty as a picture,

Emiliano has one last sight to show me.

[Emiliano] Welcome to Ponte Vecchio, the most famous bridge in the world.

[Levy] The Ponte Vecchio is Florence's oldest and most iconic bridge.

Oh, my, my, my, my.

This is really something.

- This is stunning. - [Emiliano chuckling] Yeah.

- [Levy] Too bad there are no people. - [Emiliano chuckles]

[Levy] Don't get me wrong,

this is a beautiful city filled with art and history,

but I kind of wish I could see it at a slightly less hectic pace.

I think, uh, a nice glass of wine, it's like the cherry on the top.

- Lovely. - Yeah.

- We like this. - Oh.

- Oh, my God. This is just beautiful. - [Emiliano] Yeah.

Just beautiful.

- [Emiliano] Thank you. Grazie. - Sir, here we go.

Salu... Oh, one thing, when you cheer in Italy...

- Yeah. - ...you must look the other people...

the other person in the eyes.

No, not the glass.

Right in the eyes.

[chuckles] No.

Yes.

- [Levy] All right. - Yeah, like that.

- Wow. Yum. - That's a good wine.

You are very lucky because this is...

this is the best season to come to Italy, because we are in the wine season.

Do you want to experience a real harvesting here in, uh, Tuscany?

- Harvesting grapes. - [Emiliano] Yes.

We're gonna be doing that when we're up there?

[chuckles] Yes, let's do that.

- I'll do it. - Yes.

You will have a very different experience outside of town.

It's very peaceful.

That's where we can experience that slow pace of life.

Anything with a slow pace, I'm in favor of.

- Here's to Tuscany. - Here to Tuscany.

Feeling pretty exceptionally great.

I think it's a good thing heading...

heading to Tuscany and, kind of, slowing down.

Veering away from the tourist aspect of being in Italy,

almost feeling like you're... an Italian.

It's good.

It's... No.

Well, remember this one is, "What do you want?"

- What do you want? - Y-Yes, yes, exactly, exactly.

- What do you wa... Yeah. [chuckles] - What do you want?

- [horn honking] - [Levy] Sauro's here.

[chuckles] I'll see you in a couple of days.

- In Tuscany? - Yeah, at the winery.

- Grazie. - Yeah, ciao.

[Sauro] Let's go to your hotel.

[Levy] So it's ciao to Florence.

Seeing the city with Emiliano has shown me just how proud Italians are

of their history and culture.

As he said, it's part of who they are.

But now I'm heading south to the Orcia Valley,

with its beautiful landscapes,

medieval castles, ancient villages,

and a delightful absence of crowds.

You can't beat the Italian countryside.

And I'm already experiencing that slower pace of life Emiliano promised me.

- We're heading uphill. - [horn honking]

Who's behind us?

Somebody that wants to pass?

[honking continues]

Boy, it's his lucky day, huh?

Apparently, somewhere at the top of this hill is my hotel.

I just need to find it.

- [Sauro] Here we are. - [Levy] Wow.

- [Levy] Grazie. Prego. - [Sauro] Grazie mille.

Wondering and guessing, I guess,

the hotel is somewhere in the village.

Ciao, Eugene.

Buongiorno.

- Welcome, I'm Giancarla. How are you? - Ah. I'm good. I'm good.

- You made it. - I did.

It took about three and a half weeks, uh, to get here.

[chuckles]

[Levy] Giancarla has worked here for 12 years.

So, what am I looking at here? Is this the hotel?

[Giancarla] This is part of the hotel.

And you're looking at a 12th-century hamlet

that has been brought back to life.

This is a living village. We have about 11 inhabitants still.

- There are still people living here? - Yes.

[Levy] Turns out the reason I couldn't find the hotel

is that the village is the hotel.

Once upon a time, it was home to farmers who worked the land below.

But today, the hotel has been converted

to blend seamlessly with the original buildings.

I wanted to take you over here to take a look at the expanse of the Val d'Orcia.

A place where architecture and the landscape

have lived in synergy and harmony for centuries.

Are you getting this?

[Giancarla chuckles]

[Levy] This is spectacular.

[Giancarla] Well, welcome to your suite.

[Levy] Not too shabby.

[Giancarla] This is called the Monte Cetona suite.

It's one of the largest ones that we have.

[Levy] I like it.

[Giancarla chuckles]

[Levy] This is really pretty.

I love the simplicity with a sense of history.

I love the beams. I love the wood.

I just love the rustic nature.

Got the view.

A boutique hotel in a medieval hilltop village.

This is like nothing else I've ever seen.

It's the kind of place that makes this traveler feel, well, less reluctant.

I'm really happy to be here, okay?

Love the pace, love the quiet.

It's a different way to go here, you know?

It just hits all the senses in such a, uh, relaxing way.

You just feel like you just wanna... [breathes deeply] ...breathe out.

I'm on my way to breakfast in the square by the old village church.

I had a spectacular night.

Didn't hear a sound.

Had the windows open, soft breeze coming in, slept like a baby.

- [waiter, indistinct] - Ah.

- [waiter] We have scrambled eggs. - [Levy] Ooh.

And I serve it extra summer truffle.

If they wanna put truffles on my eggs, you're not gonna hear a no from me.

- Enjoy. - [Levy] Yeah.

Now this feels like a step towards la dolce vita.

Wow, that's good.

Well, I was told

that they're harvesting grapes in the vineyards here in Tuscany,

and I did say if they needed some help, I would avail myself.

But while I wait for Emiliano to let me know when the grapes are ready,

I've got some time to play with.

Well, as much as I'd like to be hanging around this hotel,

which I could easily do,

there is something pulling me toward this gorgeous countryside here.

So I may do a little exploring.

You'll no doubt have realized by now that I absolutely love Italian food,

so the hotel has hooked me up with the local producer

responsible for the best thing on my breakfast plate.

I've never hunted for truffles. I have no idea what that's about.

I've, uh, hunted for good optical wear,

but I wouldn't categorize myself as being a hunter.

I'm not fond of gathering either.

Buongiorno.

- Hello. - Buongiorno.

[local producer] Federico.

- Federico. - The... The owner.

- And I'm Tania. Nice to meet you. - [Levy] Tania. Oh, nice to meet you.

[Levy] And who's this little guy?

- [Tania] Our truffle hunter. [laughs] - [Levy] Oh, my goodness.

[Tania] Zara.

- Zara, are we off truffle hunting? - [Tania] Okay.

- [speaks Italian] Come on. - Yeah?

[Levy] Here we go.

Tania works with Federico on his olive farm and vineyard,

which just happens to be in a prime location.

[Tania] We are in a very important area of Tuscany

'cause inside that part of forest,

there is the right climate and the right soil to find the truffles.

[Levy] Ah.

So any truffles I find I can keep, I guess.

- Um, perhaps. - Yeah?

- Well, we'll discuss it, I guess. - [chuckles] Perhaps.

[Levy] Okay, here we go.

Now this looks like truffle country.

I actually have no idea what truffle country should look like.

Fortunately, Zara does.

Turns out they grow between the roots of these trees.

Unleash the beast, huh?

- That's it. - [Federico whistles]

Right, Zara. Come on, Zara.

Truffle.

[Levy] Zara. Come on, honey. You're on the job.

[Federico speaks Italian, clicking tongue]

[Levy] Zara has 50 times as many smell receptors as a human.

So she can trace the truffle's unique odor even below ground.

How do we know when she's onto something?

Oh, you see... 'Cause when she find a truffle,

she's very excite, a-and start to move the-the soil.

[Federico whistles] Zara.

Zara. [whistles]

[Tania, indistinct]

[Levy] You think she's onto something up here?

[Tania] Zara! [chuckles]

- [exclaims] Thank you. - [Levy] All right.

[Tania] She find a truffle!

- [Levy] No. - [Zara pants]

- [Levy] Dig, dig, dig. What do we got? - [Tania] Where's the truffle, Zara?

- [gasps] Wow! - [Levy] Yeah? Oh, baby!

[Tania] Good girl! [chuckles]

Smell this truffle.

You can... You can... [stammers] ...smell the, um... the earth.

- Yeah, I... Well, sure. - Yeah. [sighs]

[Levy] What would you sell a truffle for?

- This is like gold. - Uh, the price is about, uh, 60 euros.

- Oh! - Minimum.

[Levy] That's a pretty good return for a 20-minute stroll in the woods.

We did good. We got a truffle.

No more calls. We've got a truffle.

Now, don't tell Tania,

but I just might be shaving this on some rigatoni.

But food will have to wait for now...

as I've still got more time for exploring.

I'm heading to Sarteano,

a 700-year-old town down the hill from my hotel.

The sweet life here, I'm told, is all about finding your community.

Going into the country is always a bit of an adventure,

so I'm hoping that this little jaunt could be exciting.

[horse neighs]

[rhythmic drumming]

[Levy] The locals are practicing for an important annual event,

the joust of the Saracens.

And Giancarla has got me a backstage pass.

Whoo! Good! Wow.

- How about that? - [Giancarla] This is Stefania.

- I wanted to introduce you. - [Levy] Stefania.

- Hello. Nice to meet you. - Ah, nice to meet you.

This is a practice, uh, that our guys of the joust of the Saracen are doing.

Aha.

[Levy] These drums and flags are the warm-up act for the main event,

a jousting contest which takes place

between Sarteano's five traditional districts

called contrada.

So, every contrada has their own flag?

Yes. Each contrada has two medieval drummers, two flag wavers.

How many practices do you have?

- Many times... [laughs] ...in the year, yes. - [Levy] Yeah?

All year long.

- Okay. All right. - Yes.

If you want, our guys can show you how to throw a flag.

Well, who hasn't dreamt about throwing flags?

Okay.

- Okay, so... - [Levy] Yeah.

[stammers] You follow me in this way.

I do this.

- [Levy] Like... - [flag thrower speaks Italian]

[Levy] And...

- [Stefania exclaiming] - [speaks Italian]

[Stefania laughs]

[Levy] This could be my last flag-tossing event.

This is not what you want on your tombstone.

You know... [stammers] ...took a flag in the skull.

- This, and... - Go.

[Levy] Incredibly, this skill dates from medieval times,

when it was part of military parades.

One more.

And here I am learning it.

- Like this? - Yeah. Yeah.

[Levy] Well, kind of learning it.

Three, and...

[Giancarla, Stefania] Yay!

- [Levy] Please, be seated. - [crowd chuckling]

[Levy] But for the next part of the practice...

I'm sticking safely to the sidelines.

[Stefania] It is a medieval joust.

It became a tournament in the... [stammers] ...14th century, more or less.

- Fourteenth century? - [Stefania] Yes.

- Okay. - [Stefania] Uh...

[bell tolls]

The inaugural procession is gonna start right now

with the drummers and the flag throwers.

[Levy] The joust echoes a time

when knights on horseback

- would clash violently... - [horse neighs]

...but today, the opponent has been replaced by a tiny ring for a target.

[bell tolls]

[applause]

That's a small ring.

It's a very small ring, and the lance is two meters and 80.

So, long lance, small ring.

[Levy] It seems like an impossible task, until...

[cheering]

- Wow. He's good. - [Stefania] Yes.

- [Levy] Bravo. - [cheering continues]

[Levy] Now, if I'd stuck to my old traveling habits,

I wouldn't have seen Tuscany in quite the same way.

At the end of the day, I'm always glad I venture out,

you know, and-and try and experience, uh, things.

It's kind of rewarding.

[speaks Italian]

And I've found that, as well as the food,

I also love the sense of community.

Both are as important to me as they are to Italians.

There is a warmth about it.

There is a kind of a lovely, familial, communal feeling.

Whoa!

I didn't necessarily feel too much like a tourist, uh, today.

I felt like a citizen of Tuscany.

It was... [stammers] ...nice to kind of feel like you're, uh... you're a part of it.

[cheering, applause]

[Levy] Grazie.

Prego. I will let you enjoy your cappuccino.

[Levy] Don't mind if I do.

This is how you wanna start a day.

Italy comes as close to my own pace of life

as just about any country that I've been in.

It's my final day in Italy,

and Emiliano has asked me to meet him at the vineyard,

hopefully to begin the wine harvest.

I think getting in and helping out,

getting some grapes, putting them in a basket is, uh,

kind of a f-fun thing to do,

but nature... [stammers] ...sets the course

for when things are ready to be harvested.

Emiliano!

- Hey, Eugene! [chuckles] - [Levy] Come stai.

- Matteo. Nice to meet you. - [Levy] Matteo.

How do you know each other?

We met, uh, 22 years ago in elementary school,

and, uh, we have been growing up together like brothers.

[Levy] Wow.

[Levy] Italy is one of the world's largest wine producers,

and traditionally, when the grapes are ready,

the whole community joins in la vendemmia, or, the wine harvest.

Around this time of the year, you know, you receive a call from your nonno,

your grandfather.

"What do you do this weekend?" "I don't know."

"You come with me. We go harvest the wine."

- It's fun. You're gonna love it. - Okay.

- You're gonna love it. - All right. This is good.

- [Emiliano] You wanna go? - Yeah, let's do it.

[Emiliano] Let's do it.

- Buongiorno. - [Levy] Hey.

- What's your name? - Enea.

- I am the manager here. - Eugene.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- So we're off to the vineyard? - Yep.

We going to see which area is more suitable to be harvested.

Why would some vineyards be ready for harvesting and others not ready?

[Enea] Because we have four kind of red grapes,

and every one have a different ripeness time.

This is the merlot area.

We going to start trying first this one.

First, we try it. What do you feel when you try it?

Tastes like a grape.

[laughs] Okay.

The flavor... [smacks lips] ...is more full.

You feel more also at the back of the tongue.

This is a signal that say that merlot area is ready.

[Levy] So, how quickly do you have to harvest them?

When we, uh, reach the right ripeness time,

we have to proceed almost immediately

because if you wait maybe for one day more,

it's going to be too late.

- One day more? - Yep.

If you wait a day, it's too later.

What if you sleep in? Like, if you sleep in?

- You don't get up on time? - No, we don't.

Wow.

- I don't wanna wait already. - No. There's no...

- No... Let's g... You're taking your time. - Mmm. [laughs]

You've gotta go.

[whistles] Grapes are ready.

All right. Let's go.

Emiliano, Matteo, and I have our own row to harvest.

- I see. And I see this one here. - [Enea] This one is easier.

[Levy] All right, that's good.

Piece of cake, so far.

And we got a little one here.

- That's done. - Okay.

[Levy] Okay, all right. I've... I've got the hang of this now.

[Emiliano] How is it going there?

I would actually suggest hiring very short people, you know?

That's a good point.

Because this is, like... this is... [stammers] It's, like, backbreaking.

Huh? Look at this. Now I'm moving along.

Uh, beep-beep.

[laughing] Oh.

[Levy] If you... If you guys can't keep up...

- [Enea laughs] They are too slow. - Well, they are too slow.

And if I... [stammers] I-If this was my vineyard, they'd be go... they'd be gone.

[chuckles]

[Emiliano] They'd be fired.

[Levy] They did this when they were kids.

Right?

And you can tell just, like, how they were probably just goofing off

when they were kids, and it looks like they're working the same way.

You guys are ridiculously bad at this right now.

Do I sound like your nonna?

- [Emiliano, Matteo laughing] - Huh?

Well, that's a sad fact of life. I am.

You see, this is also part of the vendemmia.

Enjoying the time with people around you.

With your family, with your friends.

So... So this is also the beauty of it.

- Well, it... that's the way it should be. - [Matteo] Exactly.

- [Levy] I mean, this... - [Matteo] Yeah.

...is absolutely stunning, isn't it?

How many tourists get a chance to do this?

[Emiliano] Do you feel connected to the grape, to the soil?

I feel more connected to my chiropractor right now.

[chuckles]

Eugene, guys. Come over.

- [Emiliano] Let's go. - [Levy] Good. Thank you, Matteo.

[Matteo] You're welcome.

- [Enea] Quality is fine. Quality is good. - [vigneron] Yeah, very good job.

We can definitely use it.

Now we load it back on the back of the pickup truck.

[Levy] Our grapes are on their way back to the winery,

where they'll be added to the rest of the harvest,

crushed, then fermented, and finally aged in barrels.

It's a great excuse to come back for my bottle when it's done.

Like I need an excuse.

Back at the kitchen, our reward for a job well done, lunch.

This is gonna be some... some party, and well deserved.

Along with some incredible Italian food.

Okay.

I call it Italian food. They call it food.

And I'm pleased to say that I brought my own humble contribution.

[Emiliano] Oh, wow.

- [speaks Italian] - [cook, indistinct]

[Levy] Oh, wow. Wow.

The truffles in here, that's what I dug out of the ground, okay?

With the help of a cute little dog.

[all laughing]

And who's the young lady that... that prepared the pasta?

Patrizia. She cook also for us here every day...

- [Levy] Every day? - ...for our lunch. Yes.

Emiliano, you're very, very good at this.

- You're good at this. - Thank you. I have my own technique.

Did you... Did you work as a w... as a waiter when you were a kid as well?

No, never. But, uh, my mom taught me, I guess.

- [Levy] All right. - [laughs]

[Levy] I knew I loved Italy, but before this trip,

I couldn't quite put my finger on why.

Now, I get it.

Look at this. This is, uh... This is Italy to me.

It's a way of living.

It's community.

It's food.

It's wine.

But it's more than that.

It's taking the time to appreciate all those things.

An appreciation made possible by a slower pace of life.

Patrizia, delizioso.

- To you. - [Patrizia] Salute.

Salute.

That is la dolce vita to me. That is the sweet life.

And it's as close to, you know,

my own priorities in life as you can get.

So arrivederci, Italy.

My next stop has a lot to live up to.

[Levy] Next time...

First time in Greece...

[Greek host] This is your villa.

[Levy] This is beautiful.

Oh, yeah. That's good.

And already I'm feeling philosophical.

I think I've just found a new vocation.

- Bravo! - Whoo!

An octopus!

Yeah, no.

I can't eat octopus. I know what they look like.

- [cheering] - [plate shatters]

[crowd member] Bravo, Eugene!
