- "San Pietro Island" is about the westernmost island of Italy, named after Saint Peter, located south west of Sardinia region in the Sulcis Iglesiente sub-region. This is the first American documentary ever made about this remote beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea. "Carloforte" is the only town populated by dual language fishermen. The 6,000 inhabitants speak Italian and "Tabarchino" an ancient unique dialect of the Ligurian language. Called also the "Island of Sparrow Hawks" or "Enosim", for the ancient Phoenicians, because it has always been a migration and reproduction place for the "Queen's Hawk" (Eleonora's Falcon is one of the rarest). Paolo Emilio Centoni will narrate about this yet unknown and preserved place. A perfect example of how Italy used to be in the past decades.—Web Icon Inc.
- A little remote island (the westernmost island) of Italy, located in the Sulcis district, which is a southern part of Sardinia region, is the subject of this episode. Starting from a new archaeology's discovery of a Phoenician necropolis the narrator (Paolo Emilio Centoni) will lead you through the island of San Pietro (St.Peter). He will show you the unknown beauties of this magic place. From the pristine turquoise sea waters to its gourmet and the fishermen traditions about fishing lobsters with reed traps and the blue fin tuna. Nature and wildlife are also well represented in the territory, being it the nesting home of a very rare species of hawk, who migrates from Madagascar in the summertime. Pink flamingos also have an oasis in the lagoon and at sunset they fly over it, all together to find night shelter. The south coast has still some few remnants of the second world war bunkers over dramatic rocks of its coast. Sandy beaches are the favorite places of the inhabitants and of the visitors. Ancient churches recall of a dramatic past of slavery finally ended with freedom due to the new colonization of this island and the foundation of the village of "Carloforte". The night attractions include a place where you can find one of the best barman in Italy and yearly music events including the opera of Giacomo Puccini played in one of the most unique theater of the country, which looks like the one of the movie "Cinema Paradiso". All this and more will make you want to go there into a true heaven of the Mediterranean sea.
