Serena tells us a little bit about Yabla and some of its special features, notably, the option for slow and loop listening, and captions that can be visible or hidden.

If you have ever wondered how to make the traditional Easter bread called la Colomba (the dove), in the shape of a dove, the head of a Turin pastry shop invites us into his laboratory-kitchen where Federica gives us detailed instructions as she demonstrates the first phase. Key is il lievito madre (sourdough starter).

Federica continues working on the dough, adding various ingredients, and making sure that the dough "meshes" without breaking apart. Finally she will shape the dough into the form of a dove.

Federica demonstrates the final stages of making the Colomba. Once ready, she cuts it open to show us what it looks like on the inside, with its particular consistency.

Arianna takes us around Florence. In this part, we walk from the main train station to the famous San Lorenzo market, where it's time to find some lunch.

Arianna is still a bit hungry, so she looks around for something else to eat. After lunch, she takes us downstairs to the actual market.

Arianna shows us the outside market near San Lorenzo, and we discover where the train station got its long name Santa Maria Novella. Arianna also gives us some important information about how to get to and from the airports of Pisa and Florence.

Today Arianna takes us back to Florence. This time we go to a high point on the southern side of the Arno river where we get a view of the whole city in all its splendor.

Arianna takes us down to one of the most popular and busiest parts of the city. Many areas are primarily zone pedonali (pedestrian areas) but you still have to be very careful.

Gianni takes us up to an abandoned villa, and reflects on the tremendous challenges the builder faced.
