It's mainly dubbed in Italian, but this is one of the few (perhaps the only) videos to be uploaded from the Da Vinci's Demons press conference in Florence, April 2013. Along with clips from the series, we see the Da Vinci's Demons team, including Tom and David S. Goyer, responding to questions.

Part 2 of the longer versions of the Associated Press video interview, which Tom did in New York before the Da Vinci's Demons premiere in April.

Confusingly, while Den of Geek.com posted a mixed review of the Da Vinci's Demons finale this week, it turns out that the site is UK based, and the US version Den of Geek website has shared a brilliant review of the whole series, telling us why we should be watching the show.

An amazing video of the Da Vinci's Demons team, during the Florence press tour in April, has been shared online.

We see wonderful glimpses of all the cast discovering the various sites made famous by Leonardo da Vinci.

An interview with Tom for the Greek site Free Cinema, from during the press junket, has also been recently uploaded.

Composer Bear McCreary has uploaded a brilliant new vlog, with the cast of Da Vinci's Demons in Florence, where they discussed the series score. He also reveals that the soundtrack will be available to download from 28th May! 

Tom and the cast are interviewed briefly in a new video shared by EW, focusing on the Renaissance fashion for Da Vinci's Demons. Costume designer Annie Symonds offers some background to the style choices, including Leonardo's leather jacket and the designs on it. Watch the video on EW.com.
