Ekin-Su, with the help with Davide’s mum, will prepare some homemade Gnocchi - hoping it’ll taste as good as her pancakes.

Before they leave Davide’s native country, they will do a whistle-stop tour of the Italian city of love, Verona, made famous by Romeo and Juliet.

They will then travel through the Tuscan valley and eventually jet off to Turkey for episode two, where they will visit Istanbul.
