Erica welcomes us to the tourist office where she works. She tells us all about it.

Erica describes one of the workshops she does for kids. It's all about learning how prehistoric man made fire from materials found in nature. Stay tuned for a practical demonstration of this!

Erica studied English at school, but was lucky enough, during high school, to travel to a country where English was spoken every day. That's where she learned the most, by living and breathing it.

For many Italians, putting up a presepe (manger scene or crèche) at Christmas time is as, if not more important than putting up a Christmas tree. Antonio talks about the traditions concerning its origins, two thousand and eleven years ago.

Antonio explains that the Italian tradition of constructing a nativity scene during the Christmas season had it origins in the thirteenth century, when Saint Francis of Assisi organized the first live re-enactment of the birth of Jesus. It soon spread to all of Italy, but above all to the Kingdom of Naples, where everyone got involved, from the poorest family to the King himself.

Antonio is a teacher and we find him at Somma Vesuviana, on the slopes of Vesuvius, near Naples. For some time he has tending a small garden, where he grows vegetables, which he sees as miracles of the earth, with seeds developing into fruits.

Veronica Pivetti plays a highschool teacher whose hobby is being a sleuth. The series starts with a "normal" morning, getting ready for school and work.

Camilla arrives at school and finds a very angry looking dog.

Camilla has become a heroine with her students, and she uses the moment to show her students how well she knows them. It does backfire a bit...

Camilla's normal family dinner with her husband and daughter gets interrupted by an unexpected guest.

At police headquarters things are nice and quiet. But not for long! The officers meet up with Camilla and Sammy at the apartment.

Camilla had a hard time of it after seeing what she saw the night before. And she had a hard time in class, too, with students who hadn't studied.

Camilla's mother is after her to do her a favor, and Sammy shows up asking a favor, as well.

Things are going nicely for Camilla when she learns more about Nicola and his girlfriend. With her mother, not so much.

The centerpiece of this segment is dinner. Pasta. In Italian, spaghetti is the plural of spaghetto (a strand of spaghetti), and Italians like their pasta al dente which literally means "to the tooth." In other words, it should be cooked just enough to be bitten, therefore firm, not hard, but by all means not soft.
