Together with his dog Zara, Adriano commemorates Mother Teresa of Calcutta and her teachings on animals. Mother Teresa was canonized by Pope Francis on September 4, 2016.

What's Adriano's favorite dish? Discover this very simple but delicious Italian pasta recipe.

Adriano and his mother show us how to make this Sicilian summer specialty. It's easy to make, but there is one important secret.

Adriano visits a Palermo antique dealer, Massimo Sgroi, who also exhibits the work of contemporary artists. Sgroi invites Yabla friends to submit work.

Adriano convinces his mother to share her secret recipe for arancello with us. Arancello is an Italian liqueur made with the rinds of oranges.

Yabla students wrote in with some questions for Adriano. He answers them in this video, with the help of his mamma.

Adriano has invited us to the baptism of his son Philip. It allows us to get a glimpse of one of the most beautiful places to visit in Palermo, the Palatine Chapel. The priest tells the congregation about the consecration of this famous basilica in 1040.

After the baptism ceremony in the Palatine Chapel, Adriano takes us to another historically and artistically rich site in Palermo: the Convento di Baida [Baida Abbey]. In Italian, the term convento is used more commonly than monastero [monastery] and may house either male or female religious communities.

After Philip's baptism, there is a banquet with typical Sicilian food, and favors for the guests. And there also happens to be a stunning view of Palermo from the convent or monastery hosting the party.

It's a very special day for Adriano and Anita. We hear Adriano's mother read a famous passage on love from First Corinthians 13 (New Testament of the Bible).

Adriano and Anita exchange wedding vows on this special day for them.

Adriano shows us the place where the reception will take place. It will include dining and dancing, complete with deejay.

During the reception, Adriano manages to find a quiet moment to tell us what a Polish wedding is all about. He also talks about love, the main focus of this special day.

Pippo and Palla are two little fish who have just met. In fact, Pippo's owners thought they'd be doing him a favor by giving him a companion so he wouldn't be lonely. But the two have struck up a bizarre relationship...

Pippo is listening to a bit of music on his shell headphones and is pretty much oblivious to what's going on around him. But Palla, who is still not used to the sounds of the house, gets alarmed by all the strange sounds he hears.
