What are the names of the notes in Italian? Alessio, a music teacher from Pisa, starts off his music lessons by explaining how these names originated in a Tuscan monastery in the 11th century.

Our music lessons continue with Alessio, who shows us the special tool for deciphering the notes on a pentagramma (staff). If the chiave (clef) changes, so do the names of the notes!

Alessio shows us how, now that we have the clefs, we can read music intuitively. And he explains why three different clefs are used in music.

After the huge success of the television series, I Cesaroni, Alessandra Mastronardi is the star of Don’t Stop Dreaming, where she plays the part of an aspiring dancer. In an interview for starlit.tv! she talks about the very different personalities of the two characters, as well as her own.

Ezio comes from the north of Italy, but has been living for nearly ten years in Sicily, and more exactly in Marsala. He loves music, and at night he often goes to clubs, where he joins in, playing his harmonica with different bands.

Salvo Agria is a painter and according to him, art is the most liberating way of expressing oneself. He believes that a person doesn’t choose art, but that art chooses the person. He shows a painting that depicts three generations: a little girl, an adult woman, and an old woman.

Sofia is eight years old, and lives in Palermo. She likes going to school, doing her homework, and going out with her mother and friends. She tells us about the last film she’s seen at the cinema. She also recites the alphabet and counts.

Ezio Lottieri, a lover of music and especially the Rolling Stones, always carries his harmonica with him. In this video he tells about his experience at the Dedalo Festival 2009, where he met the well-known artists Davide Ravera and Patrizia Ferrarini. Ezio performed various songs with these two artists at the Festival in Caltabellotta.

Ezio recalls that Davide, a well-known artist, asked him to join him in playing a song at a festival. Davide had written the piece and it's called "Road to Hell." Obviously Ezio accepted.

The second part of Via dell’inferno (Hell Road/Road to Hell) where songwriter Davide Ravera creates an atmosphere of cold winter, tears, music, freedom, longing for home, and beginning again.

The seasons divide up the solar year. In astronomical terms, a season is the interval of time between an equinox and a solstice, which is why there are four seasons, each of which lasts three months independently of geographical location. Adriano describes the seasons in Sicily, where he lives.

Adriano is not only charming, he was able to teach his new Polish girlfriend how to speak Italian in just a few months, with a little help from Yabla.

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.

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

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.
