Franco Calafatti knows a great deal about spices but he also loves to experiment. The star of this segment is cinnamon.

Franco is crazy about spices. He draws us into his world, the world of the 7 (not just 5) senses. In his stream of consciousness style, he prepares us for traveling the four corners of the earth to discover all the tastes and fragrances awaiting us.

Franco Calafatti shows us his marvelous shop filled with spices. He brings us into his world, his special relationship with the spices, from traveling the world in search of the plants, to the harvesting, to the sorting, to the crushing.

Arianna finally finishes making panzanella [Tuscan bread salad], which she then enjoys eating while sitting outside under the Tuscan sun.

Arianna prepares the ingredients for the panzanella and stresses that this recipe is easily adaptable to personal tastes. You can't really go wrong. It's also a great recipe for anyone to make while vacationing in Italy, since it's so simple.

Arianna, born and raised in Tuscany, will make panzanella, one of her favorite dishes. The main ingredient is quite humble: stale bread!

Antonino has a visitor from Sorrento on the Amalfi Coast, who brings in some of the world-famous Sorrento lemons. They prepare whole-wheat spaghetti with a simple sauce featuring lemon rind and bottarga (salted fish roe).

Antonino shares a new and easy recipe with grape or cherry tomatoes, buffalo stracciatella, and shrimp. But what makes the dish special is the special pasta: Penne with ridges both inside and out.

Today Antonino cooks special, grooved spaghetti, with garlic, oil and hot peppers. It's a classic pasta recipe, but our chef adds some extra ingredients to give it a different twist.

Antonino is in the kitchen with Michele from Eboli preparing a pasta dish with provola, eggplant and red mullet.

Antonio Cannavacciuolo shows us how to make a very elegant pasta dish with zucchini and fish. The cooking video is an ad for Voiello pasta, in this case mezze maniche which means "short sleeves."

Anna tells us about the different varieties of rice found in Italy, and Marika completes the cooking of the risotto.

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.

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.

Anna and Marika are hard at work with their mortar and pestle, making some delicious pesto. As they work, they give us some extra information about their new tool.
