Hidden Italy: Lombardia

One of Italy's largest northern region, Lombardia borders Switzerland and is known for it's breathtaking mountains, picturesque towns, and of course is home to Italy's lake district, and the A-listers favourite, Lago di Como.

Here the likes of George Clooney and Madonna have snapped up holiday homes, which can cost up to a cool €38m. And when they need a drink they head to the infamous Harry's Bar on the lake. Gino goes on a mission to unearth the secret to the best selling drink at Harry's Bar, the Bellini.

Gino hitches a ride on George Clooney's boat to take a tour of an Italian villa, on the market for €16m, and against the stunning backdrop of the lake, he reveals the secret ingredient of the Bellini plus some simple appetizers designed to whet your guests appetite.

Then Gino uncovers a completely different side to lakeside living. Just a few miles up the shoreline, but feeling a million away, are a group of amatuer fishermen who still fly fish on the lake, and Gino is lucky enough to be there during the Agone breeding season, when the deep swimming fish come to shore for only 15 days a year. Gino gets his tackle out, and fishes for his own supper, which he creates at the water's edge. Simple, tasty and stunning!
