The sea and its harbour are two important features of the town of Maratea. Another important feature is the presence of forty-four churches! Our Lady of Porto Salvo (Safe Harbour) is the church that Antonio focuses on. He also speaks of the cult of San Biagio, patron saint of Maratea.

What does Maratea have in common with Rio de Janeiro? Antonio tells us all about it.

Marika interviews Arianna Manetti, the professional voice-over artist and dubber who narrates the fairy tales featured on Yabla.

Marika and Arianna discuss the Erasmus Program, a student exchange program that was founded in the late 1980s. It allows European university students to study at other EU country universities. The program is named after the Dutch humanist, Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466-1536).

Arianna tells us about her months of study in Potsdam and how beneficial the Erasmus experience was for her.

Marika and Arianna discuss their favorite book genres, authors, and why they like to read.

Gestures are part of body language, and we all know that Italians are particularly famous for communicating with their hands. Arianna shows us how to "speak" Italian without words.

Arianna gives us more insights on the gestures used by Italians in everyday life, and talks about what body language can reveal about a person.

Arianna, born and raised in Italy, has recently moved to London where she has found a job and is trying to adapt to the English way of life. It's not always easy though...

When one retires, it can free up time as well as one's mind, providing an opportunity to experiment and find out what is important. Armando, who worked as an architect before retirement, uses photography to explore the circle of life in nature.

Little by little, we discover Armando's fascination with oxidation. It seems to have started by looking at advertising billboards.

Armando tells us how the designs he is fascinated by come to be. It all has to do with billboards, and how they are marked up, torn, and over time, oxidized. The oxidation process is fascinating.

Armando begins describing the structure of his book, and talks about how he envisions a kind of journey, beginning in the far reaches of the universe, down to the tiny details of a flower.

In this segment, describing chapters 3 - 6, we can imagine storms, volcanoes, oceans, and mountains in Armando's photographs.

In chapter. 7, Armando describes how, to him, his images represent vegetation, woodlands, trees, and flowers.
