Episode 2
Having journeyed across the Alps, Tom finds solace in the serene beauty of Lake Como. Cruising in style aboard a vintage water taxi and capturing the moment on his Super 8 camera, he arrives at the breathtaking Villa Balbianello - a cinematic gem perched on the lake's edge, famously featured in Casino Royale and Star Wars, and once a summer haven for Grand Tourists. Tom learns of some scandalous escapades connected to the British Royal Family and is ushered down a secret passage to make his own escape from the villa.
Guided by his trusty Baedeker guidebook, Tom ventures to one of the region's many esteemed vineyards. On a sun-drenched terrace overlooking the Sorsasso winery, he savours a crisp glass of sparkling wine, soaking in the idyllic views.
Next, Tom floats above the lake in a hot-air balloon, heading towards Venice. There, he dons a glittering mask for the world-renowned Venice Carnival - a highlight of the Grand Tour and a chance for aristocrats to revel in unrestrained indulgence. With his learned tutor, or "bear leader," Tom is immersed in a world of art and elegance, from the masterpieces of Tintoretto to the city's magnificent architecture.
His journey culminates in timeless style: sipping coffee at Italy's oldest café and whirling through the night at the legendary Minetto Ball, swept back into the splendour of the 18th century.
