Tonight in... S1:E7

Tonight at the Egyptian Museum

Alberto Angela takes viewers on an extraordinary visit: it is night, the halls are clear of tourists and curious; the masterpieces of ancient Egypt emerge one after the other and are always admired in all their splendor. The tenant becomes the eye of the public, and guides him in gigantic statues of pharaohs and sphinxes, in a rich tomb within a Nubian temple rebuilt piece by piece in the museum.

Tonight in Florence

Florence, like you've never seen. At night, without the crowds of tourists, you will have the privilege of discovering one of the most visited cities and admire the world, staying face to face with his masterpieces. Finally, the works of art can speak and tell the secrets of beauty that enchants for centuries.

Tonight at St. Peter's. A journey through the wonders of the Vatican.

Alberto Angela makes us discover famous monuments - such as the dome of St. Peter's, the sublime Pietà, the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel - and the gardens immersed in the quiet night. He takes us on the trail of the elderly Michelangelo and the young Raphael, also discovering places normally closed to the public such as the Secret Archive, the gendarmerie, the barracks of the Swiss Guards. He tells us a long story of power, spirituality and patronage that has also known dramatic moments. Thanks to the techniques of the scientific police - almost in a modern CSI - Alberto Angela will be able to revive the city of the Popes in a new light.

Tonight in Venice

Alberto Angela on a new, fascinating night journey. After the successes of the Egyptian Museum, Florence and St. Peter's, this is Venice's turn.

A journey through famous masterpieces of art, among the precious marbles and gold of the mosaics of St. Mark's Basilica, the silence of the lagoon, the sparkle of the Grand Canal, but also behind the scenes of the Fenice or in the Venetian 18th-century foyers. To discover a city unique in the world that loved refinement, music, gambling and beautiful courtesans, Angela takes us, a night around the lagoon, until we see the pink reflections of dawn on the water again...
