There are several couples in this segment, in various stages of breaking up. Some, but not all of them are even coming to their senses.

Mara is bummed out, for sure. Felice too! Delfo, on the other hand, shows a side of himself no one has seen before.

Guia has a flash during the fashion show she and Carola attend. Pino puts on a great show for his friends from town.

It's a magical evening in the town piazza: music, dancing, lanterns. Everyone makes a wish.

We've come to the end of this romantic story. You can see for yourself what becomes of Guia and Renzo. And let us know what you thought of it!

Serena is near one of the beaches of her town, Maratea, where she lives with her family and she tells us a few things about herself.

Martina has almost completed her degree at the university, which will qualify her to work in the juvenile courts. She would like to evaluate the situations and problems of kids, especially immigrant minors, who have trouble in school and in their social lives, and to help them adjust. Follow the interview by Serena.

Go clothes shopping with Serena, who's looking for something nice for a festa, as well as some everyday wear.

Serena is still shopping for clothes, and looks at some pretty flashy shoes. In the end, though, she goes for the jacket, and she fishes in her bag for the cash. She gives us a good example of how the plural is used when talking about euros. Euro is both singular and plural in Italian. So whether we're talking about soldi (money) or euro (euros), Italians think in the plural!

Serena and Martina take you to a shop that sells both home health care products and beauty aids. This kind of shop is called a sanitaria, coming from the word, sanità (health). If you ever (heaven forbid!) need a wheelchair, ace bandage, neck brace, or even orthopedic shoes, this is the place to go. Today, Serena and Martina are shopping for more glamorous items.

Serena goes in to a shop with a friend to buy some beauty cream. She pays by carta di credito, and makes sure she walks out of the store with lo scontrino (the receipt), which is obligatory in Italy! As an afterthought, she would like Gerarda, the proprietor, to gift-wrap the beauty cream for her, so she asks for un pacchetto regalo.

Serena and Elena talk about the school system in Italy, which is quite different from that of other countries. Terminology is different and can be deceptive, so be prepared for some false cognates. Where Americans talk about going away to school (college, university), Italians talk about the university. Find out what "scuola" means to these two young Italian women.

Get the inside story on going to university in Italy! Serena and Elena talk about how the school year is broken up, where you register, taking exams and how the grading works, what grade point average you need to pass, and much more.

Studying is not the only thing students do at the university. They like to have fun, too. Being from out of town, but too far away for a commute, Serena and Elena rent an apartment with other students. Find out what they like to do in the evenings!

Serena takes us to visit her house, where besides all the things her mother collects, there's a fireplace, and a view of the sea.
