Dorian is a cat that Andromeda had as a kitten, and then entrusted to her mother-in-law. After six years, Dorian came back to the family.

Andromeda introduces us to her other cats: Bella, Briciola, and Fiocco. She also recounts an anecdote from a book of Tiziano Terzani, a noted journalist [interviews with Terzani featured in videos 2708, 3105, and 3106].

Andromeda, a true animal lover, tells us another story of an abandoned animal, this time a very unlucky cat.

Andromeda tells us about rescuing an old dog who was destined for the dog pound. Now he's a member of the family, but it wasn't easy.

Interview with Walter Caporale, national president of Animalisti Italiani [Italian Association for the Rights of Animals], whose mission is safeguarding the life of domestic animals and the prevention of cruelty towards them.

We continue the discussion on animal rights, asking the question why dogs and cats, among other animals, have to suffer injustices from humans, solely because they're too weak to defend themselves. The atrocity of religious ritual exemptions to animal dazing before slaughter are also discussed.

In this video the focus continues to be on the religious slaughter of animals without stunning them first and the absurdity of the Italian law that allows it. The underlying message is that animals, as living beings, have the right to their own dignity.

Marika and Anna take us to a famous restaurant on the banks of the Tiber River in Rome. Tune in to discover what's so special about it. (It has to do with movies and movie stars.) And... maybe you can guess what pasta dish Anna is going to order!

Back in the days when people traveled on horseback, Al Biondo Tevere was a convenient rest stop just outside the walls of the city. People would feed and water their horses, and trade what was in their bundles of food with their fellow travelers. Later, it became a proper restaurant and many famous people became regulars, including filmmakers, Pasolini and Bertolucci. Signora Giuseppina shares the story.

Don't miss the last part of Marika and Anna's encounter with Signora Giuseppina of the Trattoria al Biondo Tevere. You'll hear about a 56 year-old fridge, five weddings in one day, and sheep who do gardening.

Anna tells us about the medical exams a woman can choose to do during pregnancy, and some of the problems that can come up during pregnancy and delivery.

Anna describes her delivery, from the first contractions to that magic moment when nothing else matters.
