Michael Winterbottom directs this documentary following entertainers Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as they travel to Italy to retrace the steps of the legendary Romantic poets Byron and Shelley. The programme follows on from 'The Trip' (2010), in which Coogan and Brydon travelled around the north of England sampling local hospitality and conversing on matters of interest. This time the pair enjoy Italian cuisine as they visit sites relating to the experiences of Byron and Shelley in the country. The poets, who left England following persistent outrage and threats relating to their social and political views, found refuge in Italy and particularly Pisa, where they often dined, hunted and discussed poetry together.
