Venice is reeling from the defeat at Agnadello, but immediately starts the comeback egged on by doge Lorenzo Loredan. After some promising victories they suffer another defeat at the hands of the League of Cambrai at Polisella.

When all seems once again lost, Pope Julius II changes sides, allying with Venice and seeking to expel the French from Italy, which he manages to do after forming the Holy League of 1512.

From the Roman fast food joints in the marvel that is Pompei, to the buzzing historical streets of Naples and the witches of Benevento, we're going off, thanks to Explore Worldwide, to explore the southern Italian Region of Campania.

What happened to the tree of the witches?

What is the "Naples Splitter"?

Where is the most iconic coast of Italy?

Can you actually move without tripping over a UNESCO world heritage site?

Which city had bad wind?

How many people can you fit on a scooter?

You'll find the answers to these questions and many more in this Episode.

After following the adventures of Julius II we go and visit with Venice, who is having ups and downs, losing influence as the attentipn of the world turns to the Atlantic, losing colonies to the Turks and starting to make enemies in Europe, powerful enemies that will come together in the league of Cambrai, leading to the dramatic battle of Agnedello in 1509.

Oh and we also have the mysterious death of would-be doge Filippo Tron: was he murdered, or just seriously overweight?
