Wonders - Stars of Europe

Season 1, Episode 3: “Episode 3”

In Granada, the stone of the Alhambra becomes lace and bears witness to the long Arab domination of the Iberian peninsula. In Córdoba the columns of the Mezquita form a stone forest and in Seville flamenco expresses the tangle of feelings of the gypsy tradition. Actress Rocío Muñoz Morales talks about it. The Italian stage of this episode is Palermo, through the gold of the Palatine Chapel, the white marble of the Pretoria fountain and the honey-coloured stone of the Teatro Massimo. Three eras distant from each other, with the memories of the etoile Eleonora Abbagnato. We then go to the church of San Domenico, where there are the remains of Giovanni Falcone and where Paolo Borsellino gave a famous speech. His words will be repeated, which still make us reflect and perhaps even tremble. The journey ends in Prague, the city of a hundred towers.
