Anna is quizzed on Sardinia and can easily identify the capital and its major cities, its nuraghes (characteristic low towers), its cantu a tenore (traditional singing), but comes up short on providing the name of a typical Sardinian dish.

Because of her concerns about Dante, Eva ends up being a bit hard on her son.

The segment features Acerenza and its 11th century cathedral, which was built over pagan and Early Christian constructions.

Luca Manara and Marta Rivera are both curious about each other. But Marta has better luck. Manara and Toscani go to see the victim's husband, who learns some things about his wife he hadn't been aware of.

The contestants face another round robin of questions, this time regarding four specific years. It's a great chance to practice those long, one-word numbers Italians use.

Daniela, in the first part of a two-part series, shows us how to express need in a personal way with the noun bisogno [need].

Eva visits an old friend, and then goes to the market with Dante for fish. She's certainly more at ease with one than with the other.

Schools in fascist Italy banned the study of dialects and moved to using standardized textbooks. The fascist hymn “Viva Adua nostra” refers to a battle won by the Kingdom of Italy in 1896 near Adwa, Ethiopia.

The Archeological Park of Venosa is the highlight of this segment. We see the building projects of Robert Guiscard, the Norman conqueror of southern Italy and Sicily.

Lara isn't around, but her presence is felt by everyone, in different ways. And they all want to know how Luca is feeling about it, but he's a closed book and just focuses on the case.

A young university student tells us about her interests as a kid, how her ideas changed as she grew up, and what her dream is.

It may come as a relief to see that Italian adverbs of manner are similar to English ones. But when Marika starts giving us some [very useful] idiomatic adverbial phrases using adjectives, it's slightly more complicated.

Marika completes the recipe for "pasta alla Norma," and serves it up. It's evident that Anna thinks it's real good, too. In fact, she describes it as troppo buono (too good), a typical colloquial way to say "very, very good."

Carlo quizzes all the contestants on such varied topics as the existence of a Renaissance-era ostrich egg globe and the healthiness of ricin (it's deadly).

A visit to the restaurant puts Eva in a foul mood. But she still gets together with her girlfriends to plan a caper.
