Augusta is a port city on the eastern coast of Sicily. There are two ancient fortresses and a tower built to defend it in the sixteenth century, and later on, it became a base for dirigibles and seaplanes during World War II.

Augusta is famous for the castle where Frederick II had his court in the thirteenth century. Every year in September, there is a medieval festival recreating the court, with authentic food, costumes and dancing.

Martina has left her room and is staying in a tent on the beach near the shack where Alessio sleeps. Alessio has a surprise encounter on the beach with the nice lady he'd met once before.
