Serena is near one of the beaches of her town, Maratea, where she lives with her family and she tells us a few things about herself.

Go clothes shopping with Serena, who's looking for something nice for a festa, as well as some everyday wear.

Serena is still shopping for clothes, and looks at some pretty flashy shoes. In the end, though, she goes for the jacket, and she fishes in her bag for the cash. She gives us a good example of how the plural is used when talking about euros. Euro is both singular and plural in Italian. So whether we're talking about soldi (money) or euro (euros), Italians think in the plural!

Serena and Martina take you to a shop that sells both home health care products and beauty aids. This kind of shop is called a sanitaria, coming from the word, sanità (health). If you ever (heaven forbid!) need a wheelchair, ace bandage, neck brace, or even orthopedic shoes, this is the place to go. Today, Serena and Martina are shopping for more glamorous items.

Serena goes in to a shop with a friend to buy some beauty cream. She pays by carta di credito, and makes sure she walks out of the store with lo scontrino (the receipt), which is obligatory in Italy!

Serena takes us to visit her house, where besides all the things her mother collects, there's a fireplace, and a view of the sea.

Serena takes us to another part of the music store. This time she shows us the percussion instruments.

Serena finishes showing us the music store by guiding us through the guitar section, as well as the section dedicated to the instruments of the orchestra. She closes by a quick visit to the sheet music department.

A delightful television commercial with Christian De Sica, for “Parmacotto” ham. De Sica tries to charm a beautiful customer, but his wife shows up and ruins their flirtation.

Elisabetta Canalis, Italian TV hostess par excellence, appears as an inexperienced taxi driver. She asks the police if she can call them if she gets into difficulty, seeing as how she has an economical cellphone plan.
