 Giovanni wanders off and meets Valentina Gherardini (Monica Vitti), the host's lively, charming daughter.As they flirt, she teaches him a game she just invented, sliding a compact across the floor to try to land on certain of the floor's large checkerboard squares, and soon others gather to watch their competition.Later they see each other alone and Giovanni makes a pass at her, kissing her while Lidia looks on from the floor above.
