Gino's back in his home country of Italy to reveal one of its best kept secrets - the stunning Adriatic Coast. He begins his epic journey in the magical city of Venice, where he takes a tour around the labyrinth of waterways with one of the city's youngest gondoliers, before cooking up a classic Venetian lunch of cicchetti for Riccardo and his father. Gino also takes part in a lace-making lesson and prepares a linguine dish with crab and prosecco.

The next stage of Gino's journey along the Adriatic Coast brings him to an area he has never visited before - the hidden gem of the Conero Riviera. Here, Gino visits an ancient vineyard where he makes a sumptuous sweet treat to go with their famous red wine. He visits the medieval hilltop town of Castelfidardo to see the world's largest accordion and cooks the classic Italian version of Macaroni cheese - paccheri quattro formaggi.
