In this second season our characters will face many new changes..
Paolo and Laura, Michele and Monica are ready for a romantic double wedding. Unfortunately, their lives will be shaken up by an unexpected twist at the altar and, this, will trigger a series of changes which will inevitably affect their love life.
Change is in the air for Paolo and Laura. She’s being overwhelmed by the incredible success of her new book while Paolo is planning to change jobs and open a garden center with Valeria, his driven and enthusiastic business partner.
The two will face new challenges, which, instead of making them closer, will pull them apart. Monica, unwillingly, will have to deal with Adriano, Michele’s brother, a passionate ornithologist with an introverted personality who will enter forcefully in her life.
Emanuela and Cristina , the daughters of Laura and Paolo, respectively, will face the difficulties of graduation and will find true love.
Emanuele who initially is competing with his new classmate Viola, soon will realize that he is madly in love with her.
Cristina, instead, will meet Raoul, her kick.boxing instructor and Viola’s brother, and it will be love at first sight.
Stefania and Giulio are going to face the difficulties of parenting.
With the two newborn twin girls there is also Yang, the Korean boy they’ve adopted who will threaten the couple’s delicate balance and conquer the heart of little Nina, his peer.
Love comes with its own sacrifices. That’s the case with Clelia, who has reconnected with Mario but has no intention to give up her usual routine and even less share her own space with him
However, in order to avoid further conflicts, you have to sometimes compromize. So Clelia will be forced to give into Mario’s crazy demands but she will end up in love and happy at the age of sixty feeling as if she were fifteen.
Change is in the air in the newsroom as well . Rosa, left by her husband, tries in every ways to embrace her feminine and seductive powers; Maya, falls in love with the wrong man: the married one, true to the most common cliche’. Lea will move on from her ex-husband, and will experience an unexspected love and other new life scenarios.
Cupid can apparently also dive into a swimming pool where he has so many choices on where to shoot his arrow.with all the members of the water polo teams.
Aunt Sofia and aunt Filomena will also find love when they least expect it
So here it is: love is the light that guides our characters throughout their life.
Love is described with irony, sometimes by dreaming, others by singing and dancing right in the heart of life’s noises

Tutti pazzi per amore 3 features little and big surprises, madness, breakdowns and love troubles that could seem insignificant but they are insurmountable
The big new feature of this season is that the events from everyday life are recounted in quite an original and different way, “day by day”, in which each episode correspond to a day of the week. 26 days, from the 7th of December to 1st of january
During this time, there will be new characters, new love stories and unexpected events with a little drama that will bring the colorful and funny family to life. All this is presented in an animated way, including romantic and wistful moments, songs sung gently in a room or danced in the rain on the street.
Love is once again what makes the world go around and keeps our stories moving through music, dreams, fantasy, dancing and a lot of surprises.
Love between Paolo and Laura is the center around which life revolves.
They finally got married but their well-deserved happiness is always severely tested by the unexpected events such as their sons decision to move out on their own and Nina’s adolescence troubles. It doesn’t help the fact that their house is always overrun with relatives and the Pierantoni’ family is constantly fighting.
The two, however, are not only dealing with their large and noisy family but also with some radical changes at work.
Laura decides to abandon her career as a writer in order to get a job as Managing Editor of “Tu Donna” magazine, where she will find herself managing her co-workers’ private matters instead of editorial issues.
Paolo is dealing with his new garden center where he hired Capone, Valenti and Merloni, the three members of the water polo team no longer in existance. The boys, however, instead of helping Paolo, will cause more trouble.
Fortunatelly, Eva, Laura’s friend, will help Paolo a lot in running the business bringing many changes at the garden center.
Eva and Paolo will however enjoy their crazy love, through their many challenges and their almost adolescent happiness will motivate them to try and have a child together.
When Adriano, Michele’s brother, and Monica breake up, she starts focusing all of her time and attention ( and her anxieties) on their child Michelino After all her disappointments during the last few years, she decides she’s done with men.
However, she should know that love is a mysterious power and it’s just impossible to live without it.
“Real visions” of the same love she’s tryng to resist is exactly the same love she wants. How can she believe to have been already in love in a distant past with someone she meets for the first time in the present? Monica wants to stop this irrational feeling she has for Gianpaolo, the man who makes her heart race. He is engaged to her cousin Elisa who was just hired as an illustrator for the magazine Tu Donna. Apparently the two seems like the perfect couple and for Monica it’s a nightmare just to be around them.
Speaking of nightmares, Giulio and Stefania with the twin girls and little Yang are moving to another apartment and everyone knows that moving is one of the most traumatic events in someone’s life, after losing a loved one. It doesn’t help to have a wife who really enjoys a life of luxury. Her spending sprees will cause arguments especially since Giulio is desperately trying to save money. I Pierantoni will face a “Marital Crisis” which pales in comparison to the War of Roses.

Moreover Cristina is now ready to start a career although, she has no idea in what field. However, life has made that choice for her; she discovers she and Raul are expecting a baby. This magic discovery is even more welcomed when the baby is found not to be HIV positive like his dad Their new role, as parents, will inevitabily come with a number of problems and difficulties.
