Daniela continues her lesson on necessity or need, providing examples with an impersonal subject. In English the impersonal can be expressed with "one" in the third person: "one needs," or by using the passive voice:"Something needs to be done." And in informal speech, we might use "you" or "we.": "you need to..."

After all that planning, it's time to act. The girls are incredulous at Eva's professional know-how.

This segment opens with a sort of poem, demonstrating how kids growing up in fascist Italy were expected to behave. Minority groups had a pretty hard time, too.

Officers Barbagallo and Buttafuoco get some good evidence, but Manara doesn't quite appreciate their guessing-game humor. He goes to question the new suspect.

Nineteen-year-old Martina tells us about herself. Her dreams have changed over the years, and she now has some concrete, long-term, and clearcut goals.

Adriano visits a Palermo antique dealer, Massimo Sgroi, who also exhibits the work of contemporary artists. Sgroi invites Yabla friends to submit work.

Anna is quizzed on Sardinia and can easily identify the capital and its major cities, its nuraghes (characteristic low towers), its cantu a tenore (traditional singing), but comes up short on providing the name of a typical Sardinian dish.

Because of her concerns about Dante, Eva ends up being a bit hard on her son.

The segment features Acerenza and its 11th century cathedral, which was built over pagan and Early Christian constructions.

Luca Manara and Marta Rivera are both curious about each other. But Marta has better luck. Manara and Toscani go to see the victim's husband, who learns some things about his wife he hadn't been aware of.

The contestants face another round robin of questions, this time regarding four specific years. It's a great chance to practice those long, one-word numbers Italians use.

Daniela, in the first part of a two-part series, shows us how to express need in a personal way with the noun bisogno [need].

Eva visits an old friend, and then goes to the market with Dante for fish. She's certainly more at ease with one than with the other.

Schools in fascist Italy banned the study of dialects and moved to using standardized textbooks. The fascist hymn “Viva Adua nostra” refers to a battle won by the Kingdom of Italy in 1896 near Adwa, Ethiopia.

The Archeological Park of Venosa is the highlight of this segment. We see the building projects of Robert Guiscard, the Norman conqueror of southern Italy and Sicily.
