[…] Each episode is set in a different Italian city and allows the audience to discover a specific place in the city through the memories and the emotions of the people who live and animate it.
Four women, three Brazilians and one Italian, came up with the idea. The result is exciting and funny meetings with interesting people and their descriptions of places through intimate stories of adventure, unforgettable moments and important events in their lives.
This first episode takes place in Rome: the four girls meet a painter, an actress, a philosopher and a journalist. They are taken to Piazza Santa Maria, to the banks of the river Tevere and to the famous fountain of Trevi.
