The Villa San Marco is an amazingly well-preserved luxury villa from the Augustan period, with a wonderful panoramic view of Vesuvius and the gulf of Naples. Marika shows us around the four nuclei of the villa.

The name of the villa was inspired by the story of Dionysus who watched Ariadne while she slept. It was excavated first by the Bourbons but was buried again. Later in the 50s, digs were resumed and now, it can be visited in all its glory.

The last stop on the trip to Castellammare di Stabia is the seafront, called il lungomare in Italian. There's a great panorama, a lovely sea breeze, and it's a great place to just walk around. Marika mentions the famous natural spring water of Castellammare, both for thermal baths and for drinking.

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 tells us plenty of interesting things about the history of one of the symbols of Rome, the Colosseum. To begin with, it wasn't always called the "Colosseum."

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.

To take a break from the hustle and bustle of Rome, there is a place waiting for you, just 40 minutes away, where horses and cows graze in the wild, and where there is plenty of interesting flora and fauna to observe: The Sorbo Valley.

Marika went with a friend of hers to Capalbio and tells us what she saw. A village suspended between sea and hills, where time seems to slow down. The medieval walls embrace stone streets, and the Maremma wind carries the echo of the sea and the past.

Macchiatonda is Capalbio's secret beach: a stretch of pristine coastline, surrounded by Mediterranean scrubland and overlooking a sea with Caribbean colors. Reachable by shuttle from the station, it offers tranquility and seabeds perfect for snorkeling. A corner of authentic nature, ideal for those seeking peace and wild beauty.

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.

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.
