Power lunch

John Dickie takes us into the corridors of power in Italy to show how the mighty ate. He will reveal how Charles V used food to display his power and his lasting legacy on Italian food and how Napoleon's victory at Marengo led to the now famous chicken recipe. John will reveal how the men who unified Italy were eating French food, why Mussolini put the country on a diet of bread and rice and how Berlusconi served the leaders of the 2001 G8 summit a sumptuous feast, whilst Genoa was raided.
