Giuliano and Vera talk a little bit about the music for the Sacco and Vanzetti film, as well as a serendipitous moment in NY connected with that. When the film came out it had success, especially with young people. Their outrage about the unfair trial led to the governor of Massachusetts recognizing the unfairness of their trial.

Manzi, with Felice's help, eventually finds Ricotta and goes to see him. At school, Manzi makes waves with the director again. This time it regards little Giulia.

Rita Levi Montalcini felt that imagination was the "secret sauce" of her research. And this encouraged her to turn to young people, who have plenty of imagination. She didn't hesitate to teach kids of junior high school age, which came as a surprise to some people, since she was a winner of the Nobel prize.

Giorgio goes to see Cloe perform again, while Giuseppe takes Elena to a place that isn't easy to reach. The two friends are clearly in love.

We begin a new episode and this time the conversation at the breakfast table comes around to Maria's upcoming birthday. Lele still thinks of Maria as his little girl, so he is a bit surprised at her request.

Max and Alice have a conversation and it is clear that she is trying to tell him something without coming out and saying it. Joy goes home and her mother asks her where she has been.

The DA wants results and is impatient. Berardi gives her some good reasons not to be so pessimistic. Torre and Ferrari show up with some fresh reports, and of course, Camilla shows up to tell Berardi about what Viola said.

After work, Aragona and Lojacono walk towards their respective homes together. Aragona says he is home, but is he? Pisanello goes home and makes tea, all the while telling someone (probably his wife?)about his day. Lojacono goes home and gets a phonecall from a certain Sonia...

Elena finally gets to visit Luigi in the hospital and they talk about the situation. She brings him a little video made by Anita, their daughter.

We take a look at the details of Piero's Resurrezione, details we might not notice by looking at the painting as a whole. Why is Christ not dressed in white? Is there something special about the countryside in the background? The answers are fascinating.

Giuliano and Vera were of one mind regarding respect for workers and fighting against intolerance. One episode that particularly struck Giuliano was the news from the United States involving Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian immigrants, and anarchists, who were unjustly arrested and condemned to the electric chair in 1927. Montaldo would go on to make a film about that story.

It's the first day of school after the summer vacation and Manzi is getting his class together. There are some new kids and they aren't all made to feel welcome by the class. In Italy, in elementary school, at least at that time, it was customary for kids to have the same teacher every year.

Rita Levi Montalcini talks about when she won the Nobel Prize in 1986. Her niece, Piera, tells the story from her point of view, and Paola Tarassi, a research student of hers, tells about studying with her after she had already won the Nobel.

Moscati continues to disobey the rules of the hospital. Nobody can deny, however, that he is having some success with his methods.
