The life and the literary work of the famous spanish poet, Antonio Machado; the relation of this author of the 98’s generation with Castilla y León and his influence in his town, are the main themes of this series documentary.

Cultural and touristic matters are shown during the documentary, like the House Museum of Segovia where Machado lived between 1919 and 1931.

Envoyé Spécial spent six months following GiorgioArmani, the wealthiest couturier in the world. Both a consummate artist and a shrewd businessman, the man who has come to symbolise Italian elegance has slowly built up an empire.

Armani leads a highly disciplined lifestyle, getting up at dawn and closely scrutinising every aspect of his business. There is only one Armani brand but there is something for every age-group and budget. From fashion for men, women and children; glasses; jewellery; watches; food; home decoration, cosmetics and a soon to be launched chain of luxury hotels, Giorgio Armani has the entire planet covered. We gain a rare glimpse into his private life.

Boxer, pilot, racing driver of F1, searcher of treasures, and always in the shadow of Trujillo, ambassador in different countries around the world, he was an elegant handsome man and funny and he had a “savoir faire” of a diplomatic. Married five times, he is known as the only and last Dominican playboy.
