About this season
"Turista per Caso" (Accidentally Tourists) is a series of television programs created by the duo Patrizio Roversi and Syusy Blady, airing on Rai networks in 1991, from 1994 to 2001, and again in 2006. Over the years, the title, inspired by the film "Accidentally Tourist," has become synonymous with "do-it-yourself travel." The original idea was to show friends sitting in their living rooms videos of their own vacations, presenting, with a critical yet highly original eye, an alternative way of seeing the world, its beauties and unique features, highlighting perhaps unseen or little-known aspects.

1. Cuba
Aired 28 May 1994 • 57 min
Blady and Roversi's second trip dates back to 1994 and is aimed at Cuba. On the Caribbean island, obviously also a political symbol in the European imagination, the gaze of the two is marked by contrasts, starting from that between official tourism paid in dollars and the economic difficulties experienced by the population: at the time, in fact, the country was experiencing its "período especial", a moment of particular crisis.
2. Rio
Aired 28 February 1995 • 58 min
The twinning between the Carnival of Cento and the much more famous one in Rio is the opportunity that Blady and Roversi were waiting for to visit the Brazilian metropolis, where they accompany the delegation of the Emilian town to participate in the carioca parade. In the meantime, they do not miss the beach of Copacabana, the neighborhood of Ipanema, the islands on the coast, the Maracanã stadium or even the favela of Rocinha.
