Summary

Stefan walks through Bologna's sunny streets with a secret plan to surprise Anna's Italian family with an authentic lunch. At the colorful outdoor market, he practices his imperfect Italian while buying tomatoes, basil, eggplants, and pecorino cheese from friendly local vendors. He discovers local customs like wearing gloves to handle produce and paying at a central cashier, different from German markets.

With just three hours before the family's traditional 1 PM meal and their departure to Berlin tomorrow, Stefan carries his heavy bags with a light heart, ready to prove his Italian cooking skills and create a memorable farewell surprise.
