About the show

Talking Italy: intimate conversations with extraordinary people whose lives have been shaped by Italy. A new podcast from Italy Segreta, hosted by Isobel Giles. From fashion photographers like Scott Schuman to artists like Isabella Ducrot, Talking Italy sits down with everyone from astronauts and athletes to directors, actors, chefs and designers. Some were born here, some came for work, some came for love and never left. Each conversation is shaped by a single Italian word. That word becomes the way in: a trigger for memory, association and the stories that rarely surface in public. From what it means to orbit the earth and ache for Italy, to carrying the weight of a nation onto a tennis court, each episode opens a window onto a life lived through Italy, and sometimes in spite of it.
