Floods at the end of last month have caused widespread damage to heritage in the Italian region of Emilia Romagna; we speak to James Imam, our correspondent in Rome, to gauge the extent of the damage and explore the Italian government\\u2019s response. And this week marks the centenary of the birth of the great US abstract painter Ellsworth Kelly. This episode\\u2019s Work of the Week is Kelly\\u2019s Spectrum IX (2014), one of a series of paintings based on a spectrum of colours made by Kelly across his seven-decade career.
