Astronaut Luca Parmitano talks to us from the Columbus European Space Laboratory. He explains why tadpoles can help us learn a lot about the weightless conditions of outer space.

Nilde finally confronts her father about Alberto and finds out things she didn't want to hear. Without thinking, she heads for the garage to give Alberto a piece of her mind — cantargliene quattro.

Camilla and Renzo are looking for the dogs... Inspector Berardi goes to see Maciste at the amusement park. The next morning, Gaetano shows up at school needing a favor from Camilla.

Nora comes back with the dress and Iside is stupefied. Ugo has a mission downtown. The question now is, "Will the roof be done in time for the wedding?"

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.

By observing the damage wrought by earthquakes, architects were able to figure out the best way to build churches to withstand future seismic events. So, in addition to the Baroque style present in cities like Ragusa, in Sicily, practical considerations were also at the source of certain architectural choices.

Alberto tells Nilde about Gemma, and their conversation calms down. Libero goes to the health center as a patient, but Guido isn't all that convinced there is something wrong with him. Cettina goes to the supermarket and is approached by the "frog" from the yogurt counter.

Potti and Bibì seem happy to be home together, and Livietta is happy too. The jeweler has gone to police headquarters to talk with Torre. At school, there is tension between Debbie and Eugenia. Renzo is thinking about taking dancing lessons.

Melody and Dino communicate via chat on the computer. Yazech is finishing up the roof, theoretically. But once again, Ugo and Nora have to sleep in the same room.

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.

Our final stop in the Baroque south of Italy is the church of San Giorgio, a masterpiece of architecture, admired by the entire world. The cathedral appears in the opening credits of the Italian TV series "Inspector Montalbano," and it also features in some episodes.

Libero is in excellent health, but he sees things differently. The inauguration of Nilde's restaurant is a day away, and Enrica shows up with a chef she would like to hire.

Camilla is able to find out why Debbie acts the way she does at school. Enzo goes to the dance school hoping to see Pamela. He does see something else interesting, however. Camilla and Gaetano give Francesca a ride home.

Ugo follows Nora to see what she is doing late at night. In the morning, Yazech explains the roof situation to Nora. Spartacus is helping out with the ironing and expresses his opinion about the roof and Yazech.

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.
