if you like italy as far south as rome, go further south. it just gets better. italy's getting a little overwhelming by the time you get down to rome, think twice about going further. italy intensifies as you plunge deeper. and plunging deeper, that's exactly what we're doing this time as we explore naples. [ speaking italian ] we'll go shopping neapolitan style, dodge scooters in naples' crazy traffic, explore the city's vibrant neighborhoods, admire exquisite ancient mosaics, taste pizza in its birthplace. then we climb the lip of a slumbering volcano and wander the amazing ruins of the roman town it destroyed. so many european travel dreams take you to italy. the bay of naples area, about three hours south of rome, is filled with fun and fascination. from naples, we'll climb smoldering mount vesuvius and visit the ruins of pompeii. centuries before christ, naples was a thriving greek commercial center called "neapolis," or "the new city." over the ages, it became an important center ruled by a series of foreign overlords. in the 18th century, naples finally b

we will go live to rome. first, this report. >> is this the end for silvio berlusconi? not as far as he's concerned. the 77-year-old hasn't given up yet. he told supporters he would seek a fresh mandate at the next elections. >> this is a bitter day. and a day of mourning for democracy. but i will keep on fighting and start a new election campaign, a campaign for freedom. >> it is vintage berlusconi. it thrilled his supporters. but a term will be that easy. now that he has been expelled from the senate, he lost his immunity. his conviction for tax fraud means he is banned from holding political office for the next six years, and he paces further investigation and the possibility of further trials. senate -- the senate president announced berlusconi's expulsion. that followed an intense and passionate debate between berlusconi's opponents and supporters in the senate. berlusconi is out of parliament for the time being. the potential for him to disrupt the running of government has at the very least been diminished. >> there were very dramatic scenes in the italian senate

but it's hard to imagine that happeningn rome. it did and so that wouldn't be what they're thinking what they might be thinking is some kind of plot that would be trying to forgive us our interests in rome. perhaps i mean it wouldn't all the big mom or anything like that it might involve obama or sumthing come for a sniper or something like that but she just couldn't get that big of a second row not not not of people trying to break in and burn everything and kill people so that's unreasonable are there been a lot of people questioned whether that's really their motive at all or a mom and so i would i would tend to be the lead in the least of the question in my mind about to what extent is that their actual motive same thing with cost savings of million dollars the year to a government that spends trillions is peanuts i mean it's less than peanuts. tom. and if the eu just know if you downgrade you're in the city with somebody. they're going to take that as a slap. and so um a lot of people have suggested that the human spirit. the

to coincide with a meeting between the italian prime minister and french president who arrived in rome to discuss the plan. a series of deadly bombings across baghdad has targeted crowded areas most of them in shia neighborhoods we have reports of thirty five people killed and dozens wounded unrest is spiraling in iraq with this year already becoming the deadliest since two thousand and eight now the total number of lives claimed by violence in the country since two thousand and three is now estimated at about one hundred twenty thousand with four thousand suicide bombers having carried out attacks on police posts schools mosques and busy streets as well john white a journalist who has covered the issue extensively he says the iraqi government at the end of the day is just unable to control the radicals that have been pouring into the country for years. the antiwar movement in europe and the united states predicted that this is to say see what would happen if you actually knew key went into iraq as they did in two thousand feet so this is a case of the chickens coming home to roost but

but what set rome apart was the extraordinary wealth of its elite.drill: what we have here is a really magnificent house, built in a prime position over the city walls, looking out over the bay of naples, and built on three levels, almost tumbling over the walls. it's obviously the house of an extremely wealthy person. keach: as in teotihuacan, the elite of ancient rome paraded their wealth on the walls of their homes. wallace-hadrill: framed by this sort of confectionery of columns, you have a great panel picture of three gods, suitable company for the great master. we've got a backdrop. and the function of the backdrop is to set the scene and to create a suitable stage on which the owner can perform. the owner may be sitting here holding court -- that could be helping his clients, helping his friends and dependents. it might also be actually judging cases, literally holding court. right next to the big room with the bay window is this much smaller room. and its shape and its decoration tell you a lot about how it could be used. the shape provides j

so everything i could sort of getter what that madame nhu was still alive and living in rome. i spoke to a journalist from "the new york times" and he said, as far as i know she is still living in rome. so a few people i've talked to -- i talked to a few people how i tried to study vietnamese and humbly admit i didn't do a very good job keeping up with it. but for a while practicing, and part of my practicing i would go online and pull these vietnamese language articles and try to translate them. one of this articles was written by a vietnamese man living in the united states, who claimed he had interviewed madame nhu. i never heard of this guy. never heard of his journal. it was a catholic vietnamese web site. and -- but all of a sudden all of these light bulbs went off in my head, and when he was talking about interviewing her, he talked about seeing the eiffel tower from her kitchen window, and i knew there was an parent she went to after she left saigon, an apartment in paris, at the foot of the eiffel tower so i thought, maybe it's not so crazy, marsh she is become there.

that dates to the late 19th century, 1970s that was created by the jewelers family jewelers in he rome. now this is just to show you that coins have long been used in jewelers for many centuries it was really bully that revived them in the 20 sit up. they range in ancient coins with the greek coins that dates to the fourth century b.c. to the wonderful broach dating to the 1970s set with a rare american dollar dating to 1926. so the range is extremely broad. possibly one of my favorite is this rather extreme example it is a incredibly large ca is a what it's a hundred and 40 centimeters long and weighs two pound and is set with 15 comes in and they're all british coins. silver british coins with the heads of the heads of state starting with henry the eight and finishing with johnson the third. so it's like a history lesson of british history. it was bought by a very extravagance clerk for his wife barney baron richie and it has a italian descendent. here's him and his wife at acting pock. now as this particular one divides into 3 sections. you can wear it as a short necklace as a choke

it's particularly ideal to the one this elizabeth taylor was wearing while filming cleopatra in rome. this is elizabeth taylor. and you'll notice is that the body of this one this one is even grander the one that elizabeth taylor it has an extra coil. and finally an exceptional piece another of those wonderful serpent watches and this instance it's gold, diamond platinum and you can notice on the head a very large burmese rube i didn't. i'm showing you here how it would be presented in emphasis original case and how you can open the head to reveal the dial as in this case you can see surround by brilliant diamonds >> now incessantly it varies it was when bully was not involved in watch manning making so they were in top movements they vary. those are the ones that you find. and it's really i think wonderful to be able to see for the first time ever those 3 exceptional serpent watches which is really thanks to the generosity of a prominent california for an private collector has left them for the benefit of us to see. now moving in the 1980s it was the time when the bullyingy style cam
