0:00.0	This is the Untold Italy travel podcast and you're listening to episode number 101.
0:11.8	Ciao at all and benvenuti to Untold Italy, the travel podcast where you go to the towns and villages, mountains and lakes, hills and coastlines of Bella Italia.
0:23.6	Each week your host, Katie Clark, takes you on a journey in search of magical landscapes, history, culture, wine, gelato, and of course, a whole lot of pasta.
0:35.3	If you're dreaming of Italy and planning future adventures there,
0:39.0	you've come to the right place.
0:50.9	Ciao, hi everyone. Welcome to another episode of Untold Italy and one that has been a very long time coming.
0:58.5	Today we're paying a visit to the incomparable pantheon, one of my favourite buildings, not only in Rome and Italy, but the whole world.
1:06.2	I always like to spend some time inside the Pantheon and in the Piazza della Rotunda outside when I am in

1:57.4	meeting local artisans with generations of experience, visit to dairies where you'll discover
2:02.2	life-changing cheeses, and of course, long lunches in incredible locations. Where possible,
2:08.9	we've also included local festivals, which, if you've been listening for a long while,
2:13.5	are some of the most immersive ways to discover Italian regional culture.
2:22.1	Along the way, we've chosen four-star plus accommodation, so our guests will be super comfortable, and of course, we're accompanied by local guides who can tell with passion,
2:27.4	the stories and history of their region.
