Natale is proud of his fava beans, which he plans to harvest in time for the holiday family gathering on May first. Other featured produce includes artichokes and wild asparagus.

The segment concentrates on the richness of the Sicilian dialect, a dialect which is less and less spoken. The narrator interviews two poets who recite their works in Sicilian, providing insights into the language.

The narrator reads some moving passages from the letters of John Keats and Fanny Brawne. Giacomo Leopardi, the Italian poet and near contemporary to Keats and Shelley, also lived in Piazza di Spagna.

Saint Rosalia (1130–1166), recognized by her crown of roses, is Palermo's patron saint. The video shows the July 14 parade in honor of the saint, and a young man who credits his cure from a grave illness to Saint Rosalia.

The segment touches on Byron and Shelley, but is mostly about Keats and his time in Rome. It also includes part of a beautiful love letter to Fanny Brawne. The narrator speaks of Keats living on the second floor. The Italian way of counting stories is to call the first floor, the ground floor, and the numbering starts above.

Natale tends his vegetable garden and tries to save his strawberry plants from the neighbor's chickens.

Pitrè's mission was to conserve and safeguard the traditions of his people, the Sicilians, and to keep the roots alive. Looking at religious traditions is one important way to do this.

More dreamy interiors of the Coppedè complex and an introduction to the Keats–Shelley House in Piazza di Spagna.

This segment focuses on an actor who retells and acts out stories from Sicily's past, speaking in Sicilian dialect. He uses the Pitrè Museum as a source for material. The museum houses a manuscript with over 4,000 Sicilian proverbs, just one of the many volumes of Sicilian ethnographic material.

The segment shows us some interiors in Coppedè's dream-inspired complex.

Pitrè's life was marked by a sort of travelling storyteller tradition in his family. In those days, a cuntastorie (storyteller) would go around to all the piazzas and tell stories, and people would pay to hear them.

The series on Umbria ends with amazing landscape shots of Castelluccio, including fields of poppies, cornflowers, and lentil flowers. Castelluccio's lentils are justly renowned.

Rome's Coppedè Quarter is the focus of the segment. Its eclectic style is difficult to characterize, but the narrator talks of the liberty style, which stems from the Liberty department store in London. In English, we know this style by the French term, Art Nouveau.

In this segment, we see some swordfish harpoon fishing, and hear an old Sicilian legend about a boy named Nicola who could stay underwater for a very long time.

Cascia and Visso are explored in this segment. The narrator makes the point that Umbria is the land of saints, naming: Saints Francis, Clare, Benedict, and Rita.
