A brief portrait of Fabiola Gianotti and the historic discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN, a fundamental particle for understanding the origin of matter and the universe.

A journey between New Year's and Epiphany Two holidays rich in symbols, ancient rituals and magic, that speak of rebirth, fortune and new beginnings. From lentils to bonfires, from the Befana to fireworks, Italian tradition invites us to leave the past behind and believe in the dreams of the new year.

The subjunctive and conditional moods frighten many Italian students, but that won't happen anymore! In this video, Marika explains in a simple and practical way when to use one and when the other, with concrete examples taken from spoken language. In just a few minutes you'll discover a key rule to never confuse them again.

Fabiola Gianotti retraces her childhood among nature, family and music: the mountain walks with her geologist father, her mother's love for Sicily and the piano, initially hated but fundamental for learning rigor and creativity. An intimate account that shows how science, art and culture have contributed to shaping the physicist she is today.

In this part, Fabiola Gianotti retraces a moment from her childhood when she discovers the world of entertainment between singing festivals and voice acting. She thus learns discipline and commits herself with passion without neglecting school.

Marika takes us to discover Orbetello. A unique town on the Tuscan coast, built on a peninsula and surrounded by a brackish lagoon.

Marika proposes another series of the quiz game "Guess what!". Let's see if you know where the fjords are, how a butterfly transforms or if you use vinegar. It's really fun to learn while playing!

Fabiola Gianotti here tells the story of how her passion for physics was born: from the influence of a great teacher and from reading Marie Curie's biography, to choosing physics as a fundamental discipline and arriving at CERN, experienced as an extraordinary place for scientific research.

In today's guessing game video, Marika describes more objects, places, and foods. You have to guess what she is talking about, but if you can understand the description, you are already almost there!

Fabiola Gianotti describes CERN as a place of encounter, growth and international cooperation; a young and multicultural environment where science is experienced in a democratic way. The archival images celebrate the original spirit of CERN: an extraordinary adventure.

In the video Renzo Piano and Fabiola tell about CERN as a symbol of the cultural and scientific rebirth of the post-war period. Through personal memories and everyday dialogues, CERN emerges as a place of human and international encounter, founded on curiosity, peaceful collaboration and love for knowledge.
