Ulisse. Il piacere della scoperta: Season 4 - 8 Episode s

4x1 - Inca: l'impero del sole
April 3, 2004
Ulisse will make a long journey through the extraordinary scenery of Peru, to discover one of the most important civilizations of the past: the Incas. Alberto Angela will travel to the heart of the Andes, to let us discover some of the most beautiful archaeological sites on the planet and to tell us about the habits, customs and rites of the Incas. We will get to know Machu Pichu and, through graphic reconstructions, we will see how it must have looked 5 centuries ago. It was a city full of life with temples, palaces, sanctuaries, homes. We will talk about deities and human sacrifices, healing methods, writing systems and, thanks also to filmed reconstructions, we will discover some aspects of daily life. Alberto Angela will also travel to Cuzco, where the most important temple of the Incas stood and where the Spanish built the church and convent of Santo Domingo.
4x2 - Homo Sapiens: la rivoluzione dell'intelligenza
April 17, 2004
Ulisse will retrace some of the most extraordinary moments in the history of Homo Sapiens. We will discover how he was able to survive in extremely difficult conditions and how, despite adversity, he was able to give birth to what was perhaps the greatest revolution in human history: agriculture. Alberto Angela will show us objects and finds that have marked the long odyssey of Homo Sapiens and, through these, he will tell us how he hunted, how he tanned skins and how he sewed them. We will discover which animals populated the planet, such as the saber-toothed tiger and the flat-headed bear. We will follow the evolution that occurred in human history with the birth of agriculture and animal breeding. Man, in fact, ceases to be a homeless nomad and begins to create the first stable agglomerations; next to the huts, pens for animals and warehouses for cereals began to appear, also intended to store supplies to deal with periods of famine. Thus, community life is born.

4x4 - Nelle trincee della Grande Guerra
May 8, 2004
Ulisse will dedicate this episode to the First World War, making us relive one of the greatest tragedies of all time which cost the lives of millions of men. It was a different war from those that had preceded it. Together with conventional weapons and traditional warfare techniques, new technologies took to the field, increasingly powerful and increasingly ruthless: the machine gun, the first tanks, submarines up to perhaps the most frightening weapon of all, gases and chemical warfare. Alberto Angela will go to the trenches of the Carso and to the tunnels of Monte Sabotino where thousands of soldiers died between 1915 and 1918 and, directly from the places where the fighting was fought, he will tell us the motivations and the most salient episodes of this war; where the soldiers came from and how they were recruited, their life in the trenches, their anxieties, survival strategies, the weapons used and fighting techniques.
4x5 - Mummie: sfida all'immortalità
May 15, 2004
Why do people get mummified? In general, behind all mummies there is a long history. It is man's challenge at the time, the attempt to preserve the body at all costs, even after death. A challenge that has no age and that starts from very distant times. We will take a journey into this challenge. We will talk about mummies, of course, about civilizations from different eras, but not only that: we will try to discover everything that man has implemented over the millennia to save his image, even today. In short, we will take a journey in what can be called the search for immortality.
4x6 - Lo sbarco in Normandia
May 22, 2004
Ulisse will dedicate this episode to an event that changed our history: the Normandy landing, reconstructing that memorable day of 6 June 1944, which represented the great turning point of the Second World War. Alberto Angela will travel to the same places where the landing took place, the French coast of Normandy, to give us the opportunity to relive that extraordinary day and to tell us how the operation was born and the enormous effort made to put it into practice feet that colossal war machine. We will see what happened through images of the time, shot by war operators, through the testimonies of soldiers who participated in the landing and also thanks to a film that the BBC made specifically to mark the 60th anniversary of the landing. We will also visit the Castle of La Roche Guyon, Rommel's headquarters, which still retains the bunker specially built to house the German command and where today you can still see some rooms as they were in Rommel's time.
4x7 - Viaggio ai Poli
September 5, 2004
In this episode we go to one of the most remote places on the planet, near the Svalbard Islands, where the pack ice begins that leads directly to the North Pole. On our planet there are many inhospitable regions where man has always preferred to avoid because they are hostile, but on these frozen expanses, even for thousands and thousands of years, no human being has ever dared to venture because they are decidedly unlivable.
4x8 - La grande Firenze dei Medici
September 12, 2004
This evening we will talk about a beautiful city that the world envies us: Florence. It is precisely in its streets and buildings that in the 1400s that extraordinary phenomenon took shape, destined to bring about an essential turning point in art and culture: the Renaissance. And it is a story intertwined in an almost intimate way with that of a large family: the Medici. In particular with Cosimo and Lorenzo known as the Magnificent. It was they who transformed Florence, who gave it this economic miracle and this explosion of creativity.
