Sweeping in scope, majestic in visual beauty, and rich in scholarship, this groundbreaking series underscores Discovery Channel's commitment to the highest production values in the pursuit of relevant, educational content. Part geography and part history, the Atlas series presents the world in an entirely new way. Each title is divided into two volumes. The first consists of short stories that meet curricular themes; the second contains the complete program.

Meet a jockey from Siena, a free diver from Sicily, a gondolier from Venice, and a fashion designer from Milan, and see how the people of Italy's distinct regions are important to the country's cultural heritage.
