In this lesson, we look at implicit relative subordinate clauses, and how they are introduced. One of their main characteristics is that they use the infinitive of a verb, rather than a conjugated one.

Before the prince leaves the gathering in a very melancholy mood, he tells Mimmo about a job. Mimmo gets the job, but has a hard time satisfying the director (who is a bit eccentric, it must be said). Franca comes to the theater to see Mimmo at a certain point, but it might not have been the right moment.

At school, it looks like Alina might be in trouble. We'll see. And at home, Renzo has some unsettling news for Camilla.

The Martini family is gathered for breakfast, and we learn a bit about the individual family members. There's plenty of chaos, however, and it's a bit much for Grandpa Libero to wrap his head around. At the hospital, where Lele has vacated his office, the staff is waiting for their new boss.

Carolina Raspanti plays Dafne, a girl of 35 who leads a regular life until she loses her mother and has to take care of her father suffering from depression. Dafne has Down syndrome, as does the actress who portrays her.

Permeating the song are images of a Sicilian beach in the hot summer and the waves that could carry you out to sea.

We continue with simple prepositions, starting off with da (from). But da can also mean "to" or "at," so you won't want to miss this. Marika also explains when to use in or a regarding cities, countries, etc.

Daniela explains the relative pronouns used in forming a relative subordinate clause. She starts out with the explicit kind.

At their meeting with the head of Curci music publishers in Milan, Riccardo and Mimmo dare to mention the word "contract." Once back in Rome, the Prince shows up at the artists' circle where Mimmo is having dinner.

Camilla works on getting the list of parking tickets from the night of the murder. Gaetano has some new information that doesn't look good for Virginia. And it sounds like Renzo might have to kiss that bronze loaf of bread goodbye...

Despite the lasagna made by Cettina, everyone in the Martini family is pretty blue about Lele being gone, so they sit around in the living room. Then Annuccia decides she wants to watch a video.

Franco Battiato sings about love philosophically. It's useless to have regrets, since we can't go back in time.

This video lesson is about simple prepositions, especially di (of, from, about) and a (to, at).

Daniela talks about two kinds of relative subordinate clauses — restrictive and explanatory — and how we punctuate them differently.

Franca's career is going nicely, and Mimmo decides that he'll do whatever they want him to: Sing, dance, act...
