CNN International is a 24-hour news channel which reacts to live events and breaking news. Therefore, program schedules are subject to change at short notice.

CNNGo heads to Rome this month to reveal the sights, tastes and sounds of Italy's Capital - from the historic wonders of the city center to the trendiest spots off the beaten track. 

Acclaimed film directors Luca Ragazzi and Gustav Hofer take us on a bike tour through winding cobbled streets in search of the perfect coffee and on to the very top of one of Rome's most iconic buildings, "Il Vittoriano". 

In a city deeply steeped in history and art, we admire Raphael's frescoes through a photographer's lens and explore the art scene in the up-and-coming Pigneto neighborhood.

Social media expert and part-time singer Paolo Mulè shows us around the trendy neighborhood of Testaccio - at the heart of it, sits a hill which is entirely made of vessels discarded by ancient merchant ships.

Sommelier Hande Leimer takes us to the Monti neighborhood to savor the best of the local food and wine. And "The Michelangelo of Pizza" Gabriele Bonci shows us how it's done.
