On Sant'Erasmo, the Italian vegetable island in the Venice lagoon, third-generation artichoke farmers work. In the Quintarelli family, young winemakers now produce Amarone themselves on the vineyard where they grew up. The precious Italian red wine has fans all over the world. A count lives with his family in a historic villa and takes care of the preservation of the almost four hundred year old building every day. Giorgia Boscolo is the first gondolier in Italy's lagoon city of Venice. What they all have in common is that they are strongly rooted in their homeland, keep the history of their country alive and work with enthusiasm on the future of their region.
