The channel launched on 22 March 2010[5] with the film Don't Think About It and the theatrical show Il Milione - Quaderno Veneziano by Marco Paolini.[6] Preceding the official launch was a video loop, still broadcast today during the night hours, set on board a train accompanied by the channel's official launch date, various names contained in the "d" in the logo and various famous quotes such as The only true voyage of discovery . . . would be not to visit strange lands, but to possess other eyes by Marcel Proust.[7]
