 Olghetta and Mati are always best friends

 zio bebe' has tons of jokes and videos to entertain

 zia Cippi has a special connection with Giorgetto: she is going to be the only one to know the first letter of the girls Gio likes at school

 card games, and conversations

 nonnoCla and her 'nuora preferita'

 Giorgio and Taira, traveling by train

 a beutiful butterfly found her way into papaTeo and mammaVale's window

 what's happening now? A check for zecche (ticks), papaTeo says 'must be my lucky day': no ticks and a great 'view'
