I watch Linea Verde by satellite at home in the UK, as I do not get out to Italy often enough. It is often informative and the episode on Teramo was very interesting. The Benefit of watching it in England is that it is at a better time, as it interferes with Sunday lunch in Italy, which is far more important. Mela Verde on Rete 4 is on at almost the same time, with an hour's overlap, and I find it easier to understand the pretty dutch/italian presenter, who speaks fluent italian as a foreigner, than to understand italian spoken by a native italian speaker.

Thank you so much for posting this link to Linea Verde, Adriatica. I watched a programme on Basilicata: 'A spasso nel Pollino', about the Pollino national park, and it was fascinating. There were items on donkey raising - did you know that donkey milk is very close to human milk, and can be given to infants with digestive problems? - and also on preparing the verious delicacies of the region, cheese, dried peppers - the 'peperone crusco' - and the work of the park rangers in the largest natural park in Europe.
