Lidia filming in Italy….
We here at Tavola Productions & Lidia’s Italy are so excited to bring you 26 NEW EPISODES of the Emmy-nominated, public television show, Lidia’s Italy. The new episodes just launched on September 5th, so tune into your local station for times and episode descriptions.
That being said, Lidia is already hard at work filming the next 26 episodes- to complete the 52-episode series- and is currently in Italy filming. We just wrapped the in-studio shoot- which takes place in her home kitchen- and was it fun! It is always such a wonderful experience to learn from Lidia, and to be a part of this show, and work with all the talented professionals involved, is just a gift.
So to check out some fun, candid clips that I shot while filming in-studio, just click here.
And, here are some photos taken while Lidia and crew film throughout southern Italy. Hope you enjoy!

¡Hola Lidia! I wish I could taste some of the food I am seeing in the photos from Italy. Thanks for allowing us to see such a beautiful country and for sharing with us all the photos.
Come back to Puerto Rico.
Lots of Love, Mariluz

Lidia, I was fortunate to have yesterday evening free to watch many in the marathon day featuring your shows. I was feeling very relaxed and your shows bring back memories of my Italian heritage while growing up and my brief but quite rich 10 months of living in Italy back in 1995-6. It was great! Is there such a thing as an opportunity to exchange room and board for working in some form of activity related to food production or promotion in Italy ? It would be a great opportunity to keep tradition alive and learn about how it is done.

I try to catch all of you shows on UNC-tv in North Carolina. I am planing my 4th trip to Italy, Milan, LAKE Como, Levanto, Cinque Terre etc. Do you have any resturants in Italy and and if so where. I have tried several of you receips and they are all great. Thanks, George Miller

I am so looking forward to watching all 52 new episodes.
I am a student of Lidia’s Italian cooking, and she is my favorite teacher.
I always watch her on TV, listen very carefully to everything she says, and this way, I learn from her the best ways of Italian cooking.
Love Guido
