According to the release, the show was inspired by Flay, who has been to Rome before, but wanted to really learn about the culture with a local -- so he reached out to De Laurentiis, who grew up in Italy.
"We're friends, we obviously both love Italy and we're both on the same network, so it made perfect sense," Flay told People. "So that's what we did. And I have to say, I think it's probably the most beautiful thing that I've ever shot, for sure."
