Machines Italia teamed up with Daily Planet, the flagship science magazine produced and distributed by Discovery Channel Canada, to film a series of segments on exciting scientific and technological innovations by Italian companies.
The Daily Planet crew was in central Italy at the beginning of May 2016 and stopped in Livorno, Carrara, Bologna and Modena, where they shot stories on compelling technologies such as stone and marble extraction and processing, soft robotics, sports motorcycles and exotic sports cars.
The first two segments aired on May 17 and May 19, 2016, within episodes (S3) E296, E299. The remaining segments are currently in post-production and will be aired in the next few months on Daily Planet.
Machines Italia provided financial and logistics support and assisted with the scouting of the subject matters, companies and locations for the segments.
