Anyone could recomend any interesting documentaries in these languages? Anything about history, architecture, biographies would be great. I always find documentaries useful because they speak slow, while at the same time using a wide vocabulary. I also get motivated when I learn the language and the culture at the same time, for example learning about Leonardo Da Vinci in italian , watching a french revoultion documentary in french etc.
Edit: If anyone could recommend youtube channels or podcasts that would be great too.
It’s quite on the nose but there is Arte. It is a Franco-German tv station that consist of documentaries in a few different fields. Last time, most of there docs where either in french or German and there where subtitles in the other language and usually in Spanish, English and maybe another languages as well.
For podcasts here are a few, although it is ages since I have listen to them if at all.
There is also quite a lot of ARD docus but I couldn’t figure out how to get to them but if you google ARD docus you should find some.

The Loescher Editore channel on YouTube has short documentaries in French, German, and Italian. Many of the videos have subtitles, and some are graded (A2, B1, etc).
The regional dialects are fading away in Italy. Some of the older people still speak the regional dialect, but most of the younger people only use the regional dialect at home (if at all).
On my experience learning Italian, there are many young people who don’t even speak their regional dialect, some may understand it, but many do not speak it fluently. Italian is used in all formal situations, dialect is mostly for the elderly.
