Vera and Giuliano are each true fans of the other. But Vera can't help preferring Giuliano's directing artistry to his acting skills.

After talking about the past, Vera and Giuliano talk about what they'd like to do in the future: There are places to visit and revisit.

Vasco Rossi in his hit song Un senso sings about the meaning of life. He's accompanied by an orchestra in Reggio Emilia's Teatro Municipale.

One of Vasco Rossi's hits from 1994. Part of the refrain is Va bene così (it's fine that way) a great expression to have ready, so go ahead and sing along. Senza parole, in addition to meaning "without words," also means "speechless."

QNM interviews Valentina Vezzali, Italian fencing pro, specialized in foils. She's the first female fencer in the world to receive three consecutive Olympic gold medals. She's also won five other world titles and five European titles (in individual matches). You should watch our video proverbi italiani afterwards.

Marco Lombardo, the chef of a well-known restaurant in the Langhe (a hilly area in Piedmont), demonstrates how to prepare a typical dish of the area: Eggs en cocotte with white Alba truffles.

Ilaria is from Lido di Venezia, a small island near Venice. She tells us about the specialties they offer at the bar where she works, a bar that makes its own desserts. How about having a "Spritz" at the bar?

The first part of a trip to Castel Gandolfo, the Roman city famous for having been the traditional summer residence for generations of popes, but also for its beautiful lake.

At last, we arrive at the lake. We ask to rent a sunbed in order to relax and we lie in the sun to rest, but only after having put on some suntan lotion.

During the hottest hours of the day, the sun beats down, and seeing that we don't have an umbrella, we have to have something refreshing to drink or maybe jump in the water.

After spending the morning sun bathing, a slight feeling of hunger sets in. There are a lot of choices: pizza, first and second courses. But, to stay on the light side, fruit salad with a bit of ice cream seems like the best choice.

Gianna Nannini and Edoardo Bennato sing the official song of the FIFA World Cup, Italy 1990.

Alberto has a wine shop at the Lido di Venezia and he tells us about his world renowned business, which exclusively sells local and Italian wines.

We meet the very chaotic Martini family at the beginning of a new season of Un medico in Famiglia (A Doctor in the Family). Some things have changed, and some haven't.

Despite the lasagna made by Cettina, everyone in the Martini family is pretty blue about Lele being gone, so they sit around in the living room. Then Annuccia decides she wants to watch a video.
