We open a new chapter in L’arte della cucina (the Art of Cooking). Here the focus is on Milan, and the fruit and vegetable market where it all starts.

There are lots of ways to form compound nouns, and lots of different ways to form their plurals. Marika fills us in.

Being a fairy tale, there's a happy ending. Maybe you'll understand it even without the subtitles!

This is the beginning of a very important series of lessons because possessive pronouns or adjectives work a little differently in Italian. You need to add an article before the possessive pronoun. Daniela will explain it all.

Zia Caterina might have found herself a gardener/handyman, and Luca and Lara locate the reels of film left by the film maker.

Just as in English, Italian has a great many compound nouns. Marika explains the different types. A proposito, this time she greets us a new way, saying buondì. It's simply another way of saying buongiorno. Dì is another way of saying giorno (day). Diurno is its relative adjective, meaning "daytime."

Gualtiero put some very fancy lamps in his new restaurant, but it stayed almost empty for a good while. He didn't give up, nor did he stoop to using the techniques a New York restaurant used when it opened.

There's plenty of new vocabulary in the well-known story of "Sleeping Beauty". And since there are both a king and a queen, and twelve fairies, many verbs are in the third person plural of the passato remoto! Make the most of it!

In this final video on colors as adjectives, Daniela's students practice using all three types (static, positive and neutral) in sentences. As you'll see, it can be tough putting all the pieces together, but little by little, you'll get it!

The police find the missing jeep and filmmaker, but what initially looks like an accident has some strange aspects about it.

Marika tells us more about suffixes, and this time explains how to form nouns from adjectives. There's homework to do, too!

What's going on in Italy? Marika, Guido, Serena, and Anna give you the latest.

Silvia is an editor (in real life) for Il Fatto Quotidiano (The Daily Event), a national newspaper with some special characteristics. Silvia tells us what kind of news she covers, and some of the problems she encounters.

We've gotten to the third category of colors, where they behave like positive adjectives. Attenzione! These colors have four different possible endings.

Fashion designer Chiara Boni talks about Milan in the seventies. Gualtiero Marchesi talks about combining tradition with innovation in both his art and his kitchen. Gastronomer Eugenio Medagliani talks about how at the beginning, people understood very little about this "nouvelle cuisine."
