Camilla had a hard time of it after seeing what she saw the night before. And she had a hard time in class, too, with students who hadn't studied.

Highlights include a church straddling the Romanesque and Gothic in Celano, and Massa d'Albe (the Roman city of Alba Fucens), where there is an amphitheater excavated from rock. The word arena comes from the Latin word harena, or sand. Sand was used on arena floors to catch the blood lost during gladiator games and the like.

Minivip's good deed of saving a dog is rewarded with multiple tickets from a traffic cop. His big brother, once again, saves the day.

Antonella talks about her relationship with the people who come into the shop, especially older women who still care about being beautiful, and who are beautiful, inside and out.

Emotions run high in this part of the story. Manuela has no idea what Paolo is going through, but they have to go to the adoption interview, so stress is running high, too. As often happens, Natoli provides some relief in his own inimitable way.

Camilla's mother is after her to do her a favor, and Sammy shows up asking a favor, as well.

The French government is privileged to have two of Rome's most beautiful properties: Palazzo Farnese, which they rent for a nominal fee and use as their embassy, and Villa Medici, which is the home of the French Academy, and was procured by Napoleon. The narrator speaks of how the land on which Villa Medici was built was highly appreciated by the ancient Romans.

The segment highlights two medieval churches near the ancient site of Alba Fucens. Both churches display ornamental facings made from pieces of colored marble that are intricately pieced together, what is known as Cosmatesque work.

Minivip's session involves his being present at a bank holdup, and his crushed fantasy of saving the day.

Francesca Vitalini describes her training in journalism and her work for a newspaper in Garbatella, a neighborhood of Rome.

Today is the decisive doctor's visit, but it's not entirely what the newlyweds expected. Meanwhile, let's hope Paolo can start paying attention to his company's developments, because something fishy is going on.

The segment focuses on the reasons behind the founding of the French Academy by Louis XIV

Things are going nicely for Camilla when she learns more about Nicola and his girlfriend. With her mother, not so much.

Abruzzo churches built by order of Saint Francis of Assisi (1226–1330) or dedicated to him, are featured in this segment.

Minivip is called in by a lady in distress over a mouse. He also masters the doctor's line on eighty euros.
