Twenty-four hours after the first phone call, there is still no news about the kidnapped child. To avoid sitting idle, Giuseppe and Alex meet with Mrs. Parascandolo to learn more about the theft.

The kidnappers demanded a very high ransom and the police decided to summon all the child's close relatives to ensure no one takes independent action. The situation is definitely heating up.

The alternative tourism video starts by showing some of Rome's iconic sites, but will focus on less well-known quarters, such as the Salario-Trieste neighborhood in north Rome.

Rome's Coppedè Quarter is the focus of the segment. Its eclectic style is difficult to characterize, but the narrator talks of the liberty style, which stems from the Liberty department store in London. In English, we know this style by the French term, Art Nouveau.

The segment shows us some interiors in Coppedè's dream-inspired complex.
