Madness front man Suggs is to host a new series about Italy for Sky Arts to be broadcast in the autumn.
Suggs' Italian Job will see the singer travel in a classic Mini to take in the lakes and mountains of the north all the way to the southern coast.
His tour will take him to the world famous cities of Milan, Venice, Rome, Florence and Naples.
He will also make regular detours along the way, straying off the beaten track to discover unfamiliar places.
Throughout his journey, Suggs will investigate the stories behind some of the masterpieces of the Renaissance and go behind the scenes at some of Italy's most celebrated cultural venues and events.
Each programme in the series will contain five to seven individual stories, linked by sequences following the progress of Suggs' journey through the landscapes of Italy.
