Thirty years ago, the Treaty of Rome 'determined to lay the foundations of an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe'.
A senes of 11 programmes offering a perspective of the European Community as seen through portraits of Britain's fellow members.
6: Italy from the Alps to Africa It is difficult to believe that prosperous Modena and crumbling Naples belong to the same country. Or that in one generation, Italians have changed from a nation of savers to a nation of spenders.
David Willey examines the contrasts between the booming north and the deprived south and between traditional
Mediterranean values and those of a nouveau riche consumer society. He talks to a man who makes a million pounds a day, to homeless families in Naples and explores the Italian worlds of politics, design, opera, fast cars, crime and gastronomy. Producer ALAN WILDING
