Anna and Marika are planning a dinner, and start out by making a shopping list. They have some major decisions to make about the antipasti (appetizers)!

Anna and Marika get to the shop (see part 1) and talk with Chiara who works there. She kindly explains a little bit about how mozzarella is made, and how it should be kept. You may be in for some surprises!

Get the scoop, along with Marika and Anna, on what types of mozzarella there are, and what they go well with on the dinner table.

Who doesn't like pizza? Anna and Marika talk about Rome's take on pizza—a rectangular kind of takeout pizza you can order by the slice, and white pizza. Anna talks about focaccia from Apulia. Buon appetito!

Anna and Marika take you right into the pizzetteria where Flavio explains how pizza is made.

Anna and Marika take us to Rome's Villa Torlonia. There's an old Swiss chalet type of house there with as its theme, owls and bats!

We continue on our tour of the Villa Torlonia grounds. Anna shows us the mansion where Mussolini lived from 1925 to 1943.

This is the final part of a walk through Villa Torlonia, in Rome, with Anna and Marika.

The journey into the past continues, and this time Paolo, the proprietor even tells an anecdote concerning American history. If you're wondering what American History has to do with ancient Rome, tune in!

Another little journey back in time. This time Anna and Marika discover what pigeons have to do with dead people!

Here we are at the last part of the story of this unique restaurant. Anna and Marika relax over coffee, and tease each other about being just a bit fuori (nuts).

The Tiber Island is a charming quarter of Rome, especially in the summer, because the small bars, restaurants, discos and particularly the open-air movie theater make it an ideal spot for spending a nice evening.

At the Villa Borghese there's lots you can do. There is something for everyone. Rent a bike, rickshaw or scooter, go rowing, take in some theater, or just relax!

Anna visits Largo di Torre Argentina, an important archaeological site in Rome, which doubles as a cattery.

Anna tells us the tragic story of Cio-cio-san, protagonist of Madam Butterly, an opera by Giacomo Puccini, libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica. The opera was dedicated to the Queen of Italy, Elena di Montenegro.
