Paola Turci first sang "Bambini" at the 1989 Sanremo Festival. The song is an indictment of child exploitation and an atypical song for Sanremo. She's joined by Marina Rei in this video.

In this video Paola Lavini sings about wanting to shout her love out loud but instead has to whisper her feelings.

This performance may not be aimed at the younger generation, but the lyrics are great for learning, and the message is sincere. It was written by Cesare Andrea Bixio (Naples, 11 October 1896 – Rome, 5 March 1978) an Italian composer who wrote over 500 songs, and 150 soundtracks.

Raffaele, a producer of extra virgin olive oil from Apulia, tells us about the ancient origins of his olive groves. Many of the trees are centuries old, some are even over a thousand years old, and continue to produce excellent oil.

From Puglia, a description of olive picking the modern way, and some of the rules agricultural business are required to follow, in order to obtain top quality extra virgin olive oil.

The owner of the company Le Grotte di Sileno (The Grottoes of Silenus) continues to walk us through the steps necessary to produce high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Puglia produces more olive oil than any other Italian region.

Captain Russo explains the new safety rules adopted on gondolas beginning in 2011, and she shows what to do in case of an emergency. Obviously, it's a little joke.

People seem to think Alberto is a bit nuts. He's about to go on live TV, and people around him hope he doesn't botch it. The name of the TV show is Non è mai troppo tardi (it's never too late). What's implied in the title is that it's never to late to learn to read and write. In Italian, a person who never learned to read or write is called analfabeta.

In Italy, at least in the past, the process of distributing teaching jobs was a real jungle, as you will see. The list, assembled by a complicated point system, involving test scores, experience, seniority, etc, was what would determine whether an aspiring teacher would have a job that year or not. Alberto Manzi knows he is qualified, but gets an unpleasant surprise at the education office.

Manzi goes to the reform school for his first day of teaching and finds out all the things he will or won't be able to do.

Will Alberto Manzi be up to the task of dealing with these rough, incarcerated boys? On his off-hours, Alberto goes to see the parish priest about a missing person.

Alberto's friend, Eugenio, is ready to call it quits when it comes to teaching. Alberto is convinced that kids are the future, but even though he made some headway with the kids at the reformatory his first day, there are still huge obstacles.

Manzi isn't getting anywhere with the kids at the reformatory. He talks to the director, and then goes to the Board of Education, too, to complain.

Alberto gets a friend to drive him to where Ida teaches. He recognizes her right away as the kids come out of the school.

Alberto sleeps on the park bench across from Ida's apartment and then goes to work at the prison, where, once again, it's an uphill battle.
