Angela is a thirty-four year old Sicilian woman who talks about her unusual job. She’s a street artist who performs as a clown and as a fire dancer. For a hobby she collects vintage clothing.

Serena, Milena and Flavia tell us about how they spend their days on the beautiful beach of Maratea. The girls and their friends come to this popular beach on hot summer days as well as on winter days, just to get together and see one another.

Our Maratea friends sing two very famous songs, by two equally famous singers, which continue to be sung by successive generations. We're talking about "Azzurro" [Blue] by Adriano Celentano and "L'italiano" [The Italian] by Toto Cutugno. Have fun listening!

Anna and Marika introduce themselves, letting us know about their lives and families. Anna tells us about her love for motorbikes and the big Ducati of her boyfriend. But Marika isn't so much of a fan of motorbikes anymore as she had a "bad" experience once. Let's join them.

Here's a popular song from the past, all about spring: Mattinata fiorentina (Florentine morning)

Africa Unite performs the song "Sotto Pelle" (Under the skin). The group is one of the most important reggae bands on the Italian musical scene.

Mondello is where the people of Palermo go to the beach. Adriano tells us about how the place came to be, and about a gastronomical specialty called the arancina.

The seasons divide up the solar year. In astronomical terms, a season is the interval of time between an equinox and a solstice, which is why there are four seasons, each of which lasts three months independently of geographical location. Adriano describes the seasons in Sicily, where he lives.

Have breakfast with Adriano! He gives us a vast menu of possibilities for starting out the morning right.

Adriano introduces us to his grandmother who lives in Palermo and with whom he has a close relationship. He's always welcome at her place, being assured of a nice nap, good company, and good food.

Adriano visits Palermo's Monte Pellegrino, taking in the cypress and wild fennel perfumed air and enjoying the incredible panorama.

How do three buddies, who happen to be oxen, get eaten by a lion? Adriano tells the tale, complete with the lesson to be learned. Have you guessed? It's one of Aesop's Fables.

Adriano shares with us the story of the fox and the cicada. Apart from the usefulness of the story itself, there's a good selection of verbs in tenses we don't use every day, but which are used in storytelling.

Adriano has left his native Palermo and is now living in Dublin. He takes us to his favorite Italian restaurant in Dublin's downtown area.

Adriano places his order at Dublin's Pinocchio restaurant, and it looks delicious.
