Marika explains what the adjective bello means, how it is used, and what concepts it can express. And what do you find bello?

In this part, Marika talks about the adjective buono (good) which is often associated with food. However, there are other contexts in which it is used, so let's see what they are, with examples.

Since the adverb bene (fine, well) has many uses and can be confusing, Marika has decided to explain it in two parts so as to understand how to use it in all its meanings.

In this second part dedicated to the word bene (fine, well, good), Marika explains other meanings of this multifaceted adverb. Let's see how it is used for emphasis and as encouragement.

In this last part, Marika summarizes the uses of buono, bello, and bene by comparing the different uses and meanings of each word. Remember that buono and bello are adjectives, describing people, things, and places, while bene is an adverb of manner answering the question "how."

In this video Marika explains the multiple uses of the word niente (nothing). Let's look at examples where it is used as a pronoun or as an adverb and learn plenty of new expressions.

The adverb sempre (always) indicates an uninterrupted duration or constant continuity. We use it to describe something that happens endlessly or is valid at any time, without changing. Marika explains all the meanings to us with examples. For more about sempre, see this lesson in English, with video examples.

This documentary about the life of Vittorio De Sica, Italian actor and film director, is narrated by Marco Paolini. We begin during the occupation by the Nazis. Vittorio is in Rome shooting a film.

Vittorio De Sica did different kinds of movies, both as an actor, and a director, and had great success, although critics appreciated his comedies more than his serious movies. Whatever kind of film he was directing, he laughed and cried along with the actors. They loved him.

When the Americans bombed Rome in 1943, Maria was shooting a film in the San Lorenzo area, right where the freight yards were, the target of the bombing. Vittorio, on the other side of town, rushed to the site. Life would soon become extremely complicated and dangerous for those in the film industry.

Vittorio De Sica, along with other filmmakers and actors, does not want to be transferred to Venice, as has been mandated by the State. There, he would have to shoot propaganda movies for the Fascists. Luckily a Catholic film company wants to make a movie about a train of sick and deformed people on their way to seek miracles at the shrine of Our Lady of Loreto, a popular pilgrimage destination in the Marches region. The kind of train that carries pilgrims is called un treno bianco (a white train).
