A doctor in the family (1998)
Season 7
The story picks up approximately three years after the season six finale. Lele works as a doctor at the Villa Aurora clinic and as a professor at the University of Rome, but decides to give up this second job when he learns the university won't fund the trial of a drug for a rare disease. Libero has moved to America to be reunited with his brothers. Guido died in a car accident some time ago: both Ave and Maria are struggling to move on. Palù starts kindergarten and befriends young Jonathan, the son of journalist Marco Levi. A complicated love story develops between him and Maria, between her doubts as she is still processing her grief and struggling to start a new relationship, and him, who is very focused on himself, his work, and his son. Grandma Enrica hasn't followed her husband to the US because she runs a small business exporting artisanal products from Puglia.
