Take your time with this episode about Rome because it is chock full of information. Il Campidoglio, also called Monte Capitolino, is the smallest of the seven hills of Rome, but it's the most important because that's where the mayor's office is, as well. Where did the word "capitol" come from? Fulvio has the answer. He also talks about where the word "money" comes from. And you will recognize the name of the architect who designed the piazza and its surrounding buildings.

Fulvio shows tells us the story of a door, a very famous door, called the Alchemist's Door, also called the Magic Door, or the Door to Heaven, a monument built by Massimiliano Savelli Palombara, Marquis of Pietraforte on the grounds of his villa in Rome.

Fulvio shows us one of the most enigmatic monuments of all Rome, the Pantheon. He gives us some history, some interesting facts, and a legend, as well.

Writer and scholar Fulvio Benelli shows us a part of Rome that tourists always flock to: Piazza Navona. But he tells us the fascinating story of how it came to be.

The people who run a seaside restaurant in the province of Marsala describe the place as a little corner of paradise with its pure, curative water and sand, and meals served directly in the water. They are used to speaking Sicilian most of the time, so speaking correct Italian is a challenge. But their love for the place, and their typically Sicilian warmth towards visitors come through.

Antonio tells us about the two islands off Calabria. The Isola di Dino is the larger of the two and he tells us the legend of how the island was named. Isola della Cirella is the other island.

Feniglia beach is not just a splendid stretch of sand, but a nature reserve that protects dunes, pine forests and rich wildlife. A surprising place where you can immerse yourself in unspoiled nature: just remember to bring only the essentials.

La Feniglia is a tombolo, that is, a sandy strip about 6 km long, which connects Monte Argentario to the mainland and separates the Orbetello lagoon from the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is a protected nature reserve, crossed by a pine forest that can be traveled on foot or by bicycle, with access to a vast and evocative beach.

Apulia is famous for the characteristic trullo. But another typical building is the lamia, a rural building with a square base, sloping dry stone walls and a roof usually made with a lowered barrel vault or a dome. This characteristically simple construction consists of a single room, used as a temporary shelter for the farm's agricultural workers or storage. Today, many of these farms have been transformed into hotels.

Architect Enza Martellota explains the origins of the trullo and how it developed over time.

EMU specializes in furniture for the outdoors. But it got its start in post-war Italy by designing metal desks for schoolrooms.
