Alessandro explains some things about the characters in his books and tells a story about when he won the Strega award. The Strega Award is the most important Italian literary award. It gets its name from one of its creators, the owner of the company producing Strega, a brand of an amaro (after-dinner, digestive bitters).

Annalena continues her conversation with Piperno in his favorite restaurant. They look at some photos from his past while they wait for their meal to be served.

Alessandro Piperno comes from a mixed Jewish family and recounts how he learned, at an early age, to cherish the relationship between Jerusalem and Rome, where Christianity and Judaism blend. Thus we come to the end of this episode about the region of Lazio.

Rosalba lives in Pontedera and shows us her favorite park. There is a sculpture there that reminds her of a woman-cat.

Rosalba was a French teacher who has been retired for about a a year. She now spends her days writing stories and cultivating her passion for photography.

We're on the fast track of the fashion world between Milan and Paris and it's hard to keep up. On a different track, there are some questionable plans for a "miracle" in the Bahamas.

Guia and Marco get together for lunch and they talk about Nardò. Then Guia goes to Paris for what turns out to be an important meeting.

After a less than satisfying phone call with Marco, Guia goes to Nardò. She has to choose between two different bars for some refreshment.

Guia makes it to the old farmstead. She thinks the place is empty, but... She also has a meeting with the notaio (akin to an attorney) about the will, but there are a few surprises.

Guia is able to figure out why her cousin is not the right person to deal with her grandmother's will. She has two more bizarre encounters in town.

Guia hasn't seen the last of the guy with the Jeep. He knows how to get along with both bar owners. There is a guessing game in the conversation and you will want to know that Italians use "fire and water," rather than "warm and cold" to describe how close or far you are from the right answer.

Having spent the night at the farm, Guia wakes up to several surprises. She has trouble putting her thoughts into words.

Pino is very active in the church, it seems, and helping out at the funeral is no exception, as far as he is concerned.

Both Guia and her fiancé start working towards selling the farmstead. Guia has a few things to say to Renzo.

It's hard to be in two places at once. Guia has work commitments in Milan, but things are coming apart at the farmstead, too, so she has to make another trip.
