We begin with the Arno river - a character and a legend in its own right, just like the people who live on its banks. This is a river full of stories that go back in time: among them, “The Mud Angels”, the hundreds of young men and women who flocked to Florence to save its treasures from the damages of the flood, or the story of a young kid from Pontedera who caught fish with bare hands and later became a boxing world champion. Then, we move to Trieste, for the latest about Made in Italy science! The Elettra Synchrotron, a worldwide excellence, is a ring where the electrons get pushed up to almost speedlight, to release a sort of radiation critical to researches that would be otherwise impossibile.
