Shot in high-definition video from a helicopter-mounted camera, VISIONS OF ITALY: Southern Style takes viewers on a seamless soujourn following along the rugged western coastline to the toe of the "boot" at Reggio di Calabria, and then inland over the countryside to Rome. This one-hour program features stunning aerial footage, an informative and poetic narrative celebrating southern Italy's considerable charms and a soundtrack that underscores the emotional connections America's Italians have for their motherland. Images of Italy no tourist's camera could capture are set to Neapolitan classics, choral selections, Italian folk songs, and the works of Italian composers such as Rossini, Puccini, and Vivaldi, with Italian-American performers including Connie Francis and Michael Amante.
