BBC One - Anton & Giovanni’s Adventures in Sicily, Series 1, Episode 3

The final leg sees Anton and Giovanni making their way to Gio's hometown of Palermo.

For the final part of their trip around Sicily, Anton and Giovanni make their way to Gio's hometown of Palermo, stopping along the way to meet some beer-brewing monks.

For the third and final part of their trip around Sicily, the boys are again joined by Giovanni’s former dance partner Rose Ayling-Ellis as they make their way through the centre of the island. Giovanni has arranged a lesson in pasta-making, where Rose and Anton uncover the secrets of one of Italy’s famous exports. Then, before the boys head for a morning of golf, Rose is treated to a spectacular synchronized swimming show with Anton and Giovanni performing.

The boys then travel together to the outskirts of Palermo, where Giovanni has lined up an overnight stay with a group of beer-brewing monks, so that they can experience a simpler way of life, with work and prayers at its heart. Finally, they head into Palermo, Gio’s hometown, where Anton meets Giovanni’s parents and unveils a surprise birthday present.
