Marika introduces a mini-series devoted to the story of a family that has decided to share their Covid-19 experience.

Eva, pretending to be originally from Athens, meets up with Cusimano, and they agree on terms. Later, she makes a visit to the group home. At the restaurant, the girls try to think of a way to save the home, but come up empty.

Camilla goes to lunch at Virginia's house (quite a house) and they talk about Virginia's personal situation. Then there's a phone call.

Ugo has no interest in learning to ice skate, and Nora is not a big help. Back at the villa, Melody brings Dino some coffee as he works, and he asks her for a favor.

Parking is a problem in medieval hilltop towns and cities (especially those attractive to tourists), so one solution is to build an elevator to get from parking further down the hill, up to the center of town. But, you never know what you are going to find when excavating. In Assisi, they certainly hit the jackpot, right in the center of town: A roman domus.

The Taviani brothers talk about how color and images can be more important than the story itself. There are clips from interviews with them when they were much younger, and the director of photography contributes some thoughts, as well. The movie featured in this segment is Good Morning, Babylon from 1987.

Perhaps as an apology, Ugo makes some sketches for the wedding on ice. The wedding couple practices at the rink, but there is a visitor. Dino and Melody have a moment, but his mother may not be so thrilled about that.

In Sicily, at one time, horses would work in the sulfur mines and slowly become blind. The story is told through a Sicilian ballad, sung by Domenico Modugno. Mimì's mother sits with him as he prepared his bags, but she struggles to understand why he would want to leave. See complete lyrics (in Sicilian) here.

If you have ever visited Italy, you have probably run across the term pinacoteca describing a picture gallery, and wondered where it came from. You will find out in this video about a room called the "tablinum" in the Assisi domus, discovered because they wanted to build an elevator!
