The session started with some reading (of the first part of the script), to help the participants with their pronunciation.

Then we moved to the unscripted scene at the end of part one, showing the societal change from the birth of the Italian National Television (RAI)  to the students' protests in 1968 and the news of the piazza Fontana bombing (12 December 1969).

A student, who took part in the past session for the first time, offered to help source props and costumes.

This prompted me to draw up an exhaustive list of all the props and costumes needed for each scene.
