SYNOPSIS
“Cucine dei Castelli” was conceived during a Covid lockdown dinner conversation between entrepreneur Nora Gorni, a lover of historic kitchens, and filmmaker-archaeologist Michael Donnellan. The series follows the duo as they explore two remarkable historic kitchens per episode, often hidden in Italian castles and palaces where original tools and traditions endure. Blending cultural discovery with the contrast between Nora’s refined curiosity and Michael’s adventurous spirit, the show combines history and entertainment. Produced with A.D.S.I., the format is registered, with six episodes completed and two in postproduction. Filmed in 4K across Italy’s most stunning regions, it offers a journey into the country’s culinary past.
