the eternal city of rome. one of the most visited places in europe. every time i come here, i am blown away by the food, the history, la dolce vita and the history, la dolce vita and the amazing art you can find here. there are just over a hundred known works by the artist caravaggio. this is one tourist can come and see and you understand why he is able

to make a name for himself. this one isjust to make a name for himself. this one is just so explicit. but what's really cool is that you can also see his masterpieces in everyday spaces all around italy stop liking churches, for example. but sadly, making artworks more readily accessible also leaves them vulnerable to theft. one of the most famous examples in history is the disappearance of a massive caravaggio from a sicilian church. so this is how the story goes. the year is 1969. it's 17 october, we are in sicily. there is a huge rainstorm and the skies are limited by lightning and the sound of thunder. once all locals are asleep, thieves are breaking into a church for a side window. they enter the church and they still have italy's most famous paintings, caravaggio's nativity. it remit they cut the painting out of

they cut the painting out of the frame rolled it into a cupboard and steel off into the darkness of the night. it was also rumoured that this painting was stolen by one of sicily�*s biggest mafia bosses, the painting also said to have turned up somewhere in switzerland stop but over 50 years later and still nobody knows what has happened to caravaggio's nativity. it is estimated that around $6 billion worth of funded art is being treated on the global black market every year. so much so that a special breadth of italy's military police is dedicated to tracking down the stolen treasures. over the years they have retrieved the millions of pieces and now for the first time these recovered artefacts are on display in a brand—new museum.

some of these pieces are amazing! soon, all these relics will be sent back to their original homes across italy while a new call comes in. how many antiquities do you have in the museum? some of which have been trafficked thousands of miles are right across the globe.

so it's a business, you've got people in italy, people in switzerland, people in the united states, all getting paid and they are all part of this system. and i couldn't resist one last question. nobody knows whether caravaggio is. do you know where it is? have you got it? tracking down the movements of the stolen items isn't easy. but not to be beaten, the carabinieri our dr gavin knott of his ticketed techniques and a change in law means they can punish criminals more severely.

in this battle against these criminals, do you think you are winning? laughter. the carabinieri's a cultural hurt production heritage squad are retrieved more than 1a 5 million stolen artefacts and relics over the past 50 years. i have come to their age here because i have been given special access to the vaults where they keep all the stolen treasures that they've managed to recover.

could you take the other two are? i'd love to see more. it feels a bit like anna love and's cave with lots of strange and's cave with lots of strange and wonderful things to look at and wonderful things to look at and the paintings, rows and rows of them. what's the story behind this piece of artwork? looks incredible. so there will just so there willjust take a little section of the artwork and make money from that? but

there is some success stories. i am heading an hour north of rome to a town's museum. this 2500 year old pot, its most famous artefacts, looted, trafficked, traded and found, eventually negotiated back. these artefacts are about more than just the physical beauty. i feel they are about the link that they have with the land of their origin and the connection that they have with the people from those areas. that's where the real history lies. it's good to see it back. who knows, maybe, just maybe, a certain caravaggio painting will make its way back home too one day. right, if you're thinking of

going to rome, anytime soon, there is some travel show chips on some things to maybe see or do while you are here. for something festive this december, go to the church for an atmospheric christmas concert. don't forget to go down below the church into those famous crepes, decorated by the bones of 4,000 monks. maybe that part isn't quite so festive. fora maybe that part isn't quite so festive. for a complete change of pace, it's not too late to register for the rome of pace, it's not too late to registerfor the rome marathon that takes place in march. it's probably one of the most historic and scenic routes you'll ever do. starting and ending by the colosseum, there is even the option to complete it as a group of four so you just run or power walk part of the race. now, any guesses on how old rumours? me tell you.

next year the city will celebrate its 2700 2776 the birthday. the occasion takes place on 21 april and it is essentially a massive birthday party. the city is filled with parades, shows and games, plus all the museums will be free to enter. finally, if you appreciate the good glass of wine like i do, consider checking out this place, the ten day festival in june checking out this place, the ten day festival injune are celebrating its 20th year and visitors will have the opportunity to try some of 2500 different types of wines available. wow. hopefully you'll find something cool about the maybe you'd like to try out if you ever come here. and here is a fascinating fact for you. and here is a fascinating fact foryou. did and here is a fascinating fact for you. did you know that room has more water fountains and

and thanks to our 4—legged friends, ben, ollie and lady baby for helping us out with that. before we finish the show we will go to turkey and a place in the east of the country not far from the syrian border recently loads of films and series have been shot there because it looks so stunning, but if you go underground will discover a whole different world. so we sent omar there to explore. welcome to hidyat a town in south—eastern turkey close to the border with syria. a place steeped in history and has been home to the many civilisations that passed through this area over the last 3,000 years. they have all left their mark up here on the surface, but also underground.

during a restoration project to the older buildings of hidyat in 2020, some of the team discovered a doorway that leaves two some of these caves, the more they die, the more they found. these are underground spaces under each house were known to people and used for storage because it's quite cold, but what they didn't know was they were all connected. and what an incredible sight. i happily got lost in the network of caves, thought to be at least 1,900 years old, estimated to have been inhabited by 70,000 people. a lot of this is quite whether now, but you can see there are clear stairs and path into different rooms. it is thousands of years old. what i'm fascinated by is the stone is solid, but look, it is soft. at the same time. this is

limestone, so the texture is like a soft cheese underground and hardens inspected and ha rdens inspected persistently and hardens inspected persistently outside in the open air in the sun, it is what a lot of houses remain in something hidyat is famous for as well as the caves themselves. in these caverns have attracted a lot of attention since their discovery. with the potential huge size possibly rivalling the favour a donkey a cave dwellings elsewhere in turkey. this is the first time i don't mind being short, 2000 years ago the average dweller might have been five, four. i was

amazed by the level of detail on some of what i was seeing. why are there crosses on the wall? even still, thousands and hundreds of years, the detail is amazing. though historians are figuring out what rooms have what purpose some are more obvious they lived here to live their religion fairly during the rule of the roman empire. these places, they are to bury their dead. here, we can find some marks, it might be a fountain, it isa marks, it might be a fountain, it is a symbol of the bird, it is very old and damaged. what did that symbolise? _ is very old and damaged. what did that symbolise? it - is very old and damaged. what did that symbolise? it might i is very old and damaged. what| did that symbolise? it might be the tomb of _ did that symbolise? it might be the tomb of a _ did that symbolise? it might be the tomb of a soldier. - did that symbolise? it might be the tomb of a soldier. even - the tomb of a soldier. even thou:h the tomb of a soldier. even though it — the tomb of a soldier. even though it has _ the tomb of a soldier. even though it has been - the tomb of a soldier. even l though it has been thousands the tomb of a soldier. even though it has been thousands of years, this is still incredibly preserved, to be able to tell what animal it was. the

and although we came back across a clue pointing into this room possibly being a very old jewish synagogue. if you look here it is the star of david, still quite defined and quite detailed, because of our, they are telling me this is 1,600 years old. soldier on a horse. 0h, 1,600 years old. soldier on a horse. oh, yes. that is about the size of my hand. a tiny hand. look, right there, it is my handprint. how did they get up my handprint. how did they get up there? so far, they've only uncovered five — 10% of the caves and it will be a while before the truth of the underground past is properly bought to light. i am dusty.

tired. but it was worth it. this will attract people, it is a wonder to see and there is still so much more to discover. thank you, omar. and you know, it's amazing to think of all the amazing history that you will find out there, which is a little bit like here in rome, mind blowing. well, that's it from us this week, make sure you look up us next week when... ibiza versus type 1 diabetes. dj reese parkinson to start with you can take on the party island while managing your blood sugar levels. until then you can find lots of amazing travel content from the bbc online by using the tags on your screen. bbc online by using the tags on yourscreen. but bbc online by using the tags on your screen. but now from any and all of the travel show team

here in rome, it is chow for now. for many parts of the country the week ended on a high with more sunshine. we have got cloud heading our way from the atlantic, these weather fronts heading towards the uk will bring out extra rain, it may stay dry after a chilly start across eastern parts of england on saturday, some sunshine but a lot of cloud, rain pushing further into wales, western england more of scotland, we will see rain in northern ireland. the southerly wind strengthening and a brisk wind developing through the afternoon,

pushing milder air northward through scotland, temperatures reaching 13 here. it stays mild overnight and windy, further rain on the weather front, slowly pushing towards south—eastern parts of the uk, the rain is slowing down, may come to a stop in the far south—east across kent and essex, some rain lingering into the afternoon more cloud across south—eastern areas but elsewhere sunshine, a few sharp showers around the western coast, the risk of thunder, temperatures still in double figures, even with the cloud. that weather front does finally move away, another area of low pressure from the atlantic, the winds are becoming lighter and continuing to take this more southerly track, an area of showers moving down towards the english channel. for many parts dry

on monday, more logically across parts of england, there could be mist and fog patches as well slow to clear. temperatures low around nine or ten. that is the thing over the week ahead. returning dryer, yes, but at the same time turning colder as well. we saw monday's temperatures, this is the story into tuesday, weather from the atlantic but a building area of high pressure across the uk, dropping the wind out, leading to a chilly start especially for scotland, across england and wales, mist and fog patches perhaps in parts of scotland, slowly lifting into grey skies and low cloud, underneath the low cloud temperatures 6—8 , some sunshine here and there and temperatures could make double figures. this weather front trying to slide in from the atlantic won't make it because we have a blocking pattern, an area of high pressure over northern parts of russia and scandinavia.

that will keep that milder wetter weather away towards more western parts of northern ireland, still dry on wednesday, not as much mist and fog, may be more sunshine, a chilly start and temperatures around 7— 9. that is the middle part of the week. this is the milder air, a very mild novemberfor much of the time, milder air staying out in the atlantic, it gets colder into december because around that area of high pressure, a north—easterly wind picking up, and high pressure will migrate towards the uk. it may not be completely dry for the outlook but not much rain as we have seen, a dry pattern for the early part of december, but colder, you can see temperatures dropping away, typically around eight or nine celsius, with a lot of cloud.
