Raffaella Carrà, one of Italian television's most beloved entertainers, and known as the Queen of Italian TV, has died at the age of 78. Here she is in an interview with Fabio Fazio on Rai 3. Her blonde hair was her signature, as you will see when you watch the video. She was a legend. She sang, she danced, she hosted, and she interviewed. For many years, Italian families would watch her talk show Pronto Raffaella (Hello, Raffaella) at the noon hour, when school got out.

In this lesson, we look at implicit relative subordinate clauses, and how they are introduced. One of their main characteristics is that they use the infinitive of a verb, rather than a conjugated one.

Daniela explains the relative pronouns used in forming a relative subordinate clause. She starts out with the explicit kind.

Carolina Raspanti plays Dafne, a girl of 35 who leads a regular life until she loses her mother and has to take care of her father suffering from depression. Dafne has Down syndrome, as does the actress who portrays her.

Daniela talks about two kinds of relative subordinate clauses — restrictive and explanatory — and how we punctuate them differently.

To conclude the lesson on concessive subordinate clauses, we look at those constructed using the past participle of a verb or the gerund and introductory locations such as benché (though) and pure (despite), among others.

Daniela explains further about constructing explicit subordinate clauses and gives some examples to clarify.
