As Robert and Jack painstakingly restore the villa to its previous glory, they also start to mend their relationship. Made in Italy also stars Lindsay Duncan and Valeria Bilello, and isproduced by Pippa Cross and Sam Tipper-Hale for CrossDay Productions, with HanWay’s Gabrielle Stewart, CrossDay’s Janette Day and Ingenious Media’s Peter Touche and Anders Erden as executive producers.
