Alex Polizzi's Secret Italy
Lecce and Matera
Season 1 Episode 4 of 4
For the final leg of her journey, the hotelier heads to the south, a region she knows little about. In Puglia, she marvels at the local beehive-shaped dry stone huts and samples a wine with a difference, before heading to the Monte Pollino national park. Alex concludes her adventure in the city of Matera, where she attends the annual Festa della Madonna Bruna, a week-long carnival culminating in a pagan-style rite of destruction and a firework display
Alex Polizzi's Secret Italy airs on Virgin Media Three at 2:50 PM, Thursday 27 June. (Repeat.)
