In Italy we don't need fire escape because our houses are made of concrete, not wood :D

Il bidet patrimonio dell'umanità.

5. The actual major difference: bricks and concrete, not wood and cardboard built houses.

Tutti abbiamo aspettato con ansia il "momento del : no bidet" 😂😂😂😂😂

My thoughts as a french person is that Italy is exactly like France, except there isn't always a bidet in the bathroom. Like, my family and I had a bidet in our previous appartment but not in the one we're living in now (and we have wood floors, but it's not super common), so it depends. Appart from that, every singe thing you listed is exactly the same as in Italy, but i guess that's logical since our countries are super close. Thanks to you now I know how different we are from Americans.

They used to hang their clothes on clotheslines for those that didn't have a dryer (machine). Cities started banning the practice of using clotheslines which forced everyone to get dryers. In California they started allowing this again after protests. Why did they ban them for so long? They said it made the neighborhoods look too ghetto. When I was a kid in the 70s about every seven houses had clotheslines and I was in a blue collar/white collar mixed neighborhood.

Da quando sono piccolo non ho mai avuto la lavatrice in cucina.. ho vissuto in America e posso dire con certezza che le case in Italia sono i gran lunga migliori..

Many of the features you describe for Italian houses also apply to UK houses. So, they are probably European vs American differences. The first difference I noticed in the UK is that they do not have screens on their windows (to keep the insects out).

E quella grande invenzione che sono le tapparelle avvolgibili

ITA: In Italia generalmente costruiamo le case con l'idea che possano durare dei secoli. Ho visto proprio ieri una casa in pietra, su una pietra angolare c'erano incisi il nome del primo proprietario e la data della costruzione : 1689! Questo però fa sì che una casa in Italia costi molto di più di una casa in America. ENG: In Italy we tend to build houses which are meant to last for centuries. I saw a stonehouse yesterday, on a corner-stone there were carved the name of the first owner and the year of costruction: 1689! That's cool but prices here are way higher than in America.

your knowledge of Americans seems to have come just from movies lol I’ve lived in America my whole life and everyone I know uses curtains or sometime of window covering. I also grew up using a clothes line to dry my clothes. I have also always slept on a single bed.

About the dryers... I live where the average humidity is 60% in winter, 75% in summer. If I hung my laundry to dry on any but the warmest, sunniest summer day, I'd just end up with damp, moldy clothes on the line for 4-5 days. Dryers are a convenience in a lot of the country - a necessity in others.

"In America the entrance of the building is always higher than the ground" me in a wheelchair: "ok, I will not go to America!" 😂😂

You really need to come down south and stay in a house out in the country. We have really big yards, and we hang our clothes out on the line in the sunshine when it's nice out. I'm barely middle class, but my house is 3000sq/ft, which isn't that big here, and my yard is not big, 2 quite small once you get into the country, but it's an acre and a half. However, there's 1200 acres of woods behind me too, with a creek, and a few nice ponds.

As an italian that fire escape is scary, everyone has access to your windows? Nope, I'll risk it during a fire! Nice video tho.

I’m spellbound. Could listen to her forever 😍

I once read that entrance in the houses or building in the U.s are higher than the ground, because derived by first dutch colonists and dutch built their houses higher than the ground for fear of flood.

Belin ma come to UK you can make a much longer video, talking about the carpet in the toilet or talking about the f..king two taps in the sink, one with iced water and the other with a lava temperature, or you can talk about so many other things like the pressure of the shower that most of the time is very low and if someone open another tap you have a drop coming out and soooo many other things.Belin!

Bidet has been regulated by the Italian law since 1975: any regular bathroom must have a bidet! That is a pick of civilization!

I have a cooling rack I put on the tiny kitchen counter after I back a cake. If I set it outside birds or neighborhood pets would manage to get over my fence to eat it!

This is really good!

We do have casement windows (the kind that open out) in the US. They are less common but they do exist.

Our dryer went down for 5 months! I hung everything up outside until winter hits. Then I studied manuals and found the part and repaired my dryer! Most of my clothes i have up inside, but towels, sheets and blankets go into a dryer!

The west coast of the USA is very different culturally and physically... My house has the same toilet water level as you see around the world, trying to conserve water!!! Aim well!!! 😂 I love, love you blog!!! Thank you!!!

People used to air dry their laundry. Some still do, but mostly the elderly & those who are super conscious about their clothes. This is because before the advent of the washing machine & other household appliances were made more affordable, they used to be costly & use lots of electricity. Those who couldn't afford a washing machine used to hang their clothes on a clothes line in their yard or between apartment buildings. After washing machines were more affordable & energy efficient, some still could not afford it. So they continued drying their clothes on clothes lines.

The walls the design you were talking about is an antique the house could of been built in the 1920s or after that that's why they kept the decorations it's a value to the house if they ever sell they can get more then what they paid for it .

This channel is awesome!

Interessante, grazie. Penso che lil poco spazio tra un edificio e l'altro abbia una sola funzione....poter vedere dalle finestre i vicini da molto vicino!!!!!😂

Simpaticissima e piena di energie, bellissimo video grazie.

Funny you should say that about window curtains, because I had the exact opposite experience. As a Norwegian, I'm used to leaving curtains open and being able to look into everyone's houses, and having them be able to look into my house (within reason, of course - bathrooms and rooms facing other houses that are close by will often have curtains or be made so that you can't see clearly through them), but when I lived in the suburbs of Houston, absoultely everyone seemed to draw their curtains or close their blinders. I think we Norwegians do it the way we do because we live in a cold and dark country, so we want to let as much sunlight and heat in as possible. Edit: also, what's so weird about showers in bath tubs :P ?

Senza Bidet mi ucccido! :D

I'm Italian and I haven't got the washing machine in the kitchen, and not even in the bathroom... 😂😂

Love the idea of a washing machine in the kitchen☮️💕

Wow Mary Jane you look very nice and beautiful amazing video well done 😊😊❤️❤️👍👍

Having lived for seven years in Southern Italy and other European countries there is no doubt in my mind that living in fly-over country USA is the only sensible way to live. Furthermore, comparing NYC living as a "norm" in the US of A is like saying that Napoli is typical of all Italy, it just isn't so.

Cool Video! Very funny and creative editing...also I'm from Philly (Philadelphia) and we no longer have the space our grandparents used to, to hang clothes on a line to dry lol I really enjoy your channel!

Falla una puntata intera sul bidet ! Io quando sono all'estero ed incontro qualcuno non riesco a pensare ad altro che questo è andato in bagno e non si è lavato il c....:-)

Wow you are one of the cutest youtubers I've ever seen around here. And funny too XD Greetings from a bidet lover lol

I think the little space between houses is so that the blowing wind can whistle and make people feel they are still living near nature, in the forests.

Fantastico questo non lo avevo ancora visto fighissimo!!!!!

All of us as children and my friends all had single sized beds.

I really like watch all your videos ❤

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. You and the content you put together is so entertaining.

Il riscaldamento a termosifoni è adoperato solo nelle case più vecchie, quelle recenti hanno il riscaldamento a pavimento con caldaia a condensazione, si ottengono consumi sensibilmente ridotti e gli ambienti vengono riscaldati in modo uniforme.

as far as the water temperatures and flow of water are concerned it depends on the faucet system and the type of shower head used

Where I live in America, bathroom washing machines are pretty common. The biggest determining factor on where they are is where the power and water hookups were built in. As far as tumble dryers, you've got me there. 6-8 months out of the year my clothing would freeze or take forever to air dry. The worst thing is even in summer, I can't air dry my laundry because the home owner's association thinks it's "unsightly" and will fine me for it.

I've lived in the US for few years and one thing I've noticed in many restrooms in the lack of the toilet brush. In Italy is as important as the bidet.

The things that I hated most when I lived in the us is the bathtub and poor quality of the houses with really ancient systems no saving energy system. Ah you forgot to say that most of the US houses have CARPETS which means dirt, dust and all the doors have a large space underneath so no loud isolation from other rooms...

Bellissima, intelligente e molto simpatica ♥️

Il fatto che non ci sia la lavatrice comoda in casa mi sconvolge di più del fatto che non ci sia il bidet 🤣

interessante e divertente conoscere la differenza tra culture e nazioni diverse!!

I enjoyed this video. Thanks

Certo che se hai un culo all'americana che fa "provincia" hai bisogno di un letto a due piazze...

In italy if you trow a punch against the wall ur hand will broke, not the wall

i lived 8 years at Durban South Africa ,more or less they got the same way of living ,honestly i prefer the italian way ,

Apparently in Italy window screens are not so popular...Italians are not so concerned with having bugs in the home. I'll take the slide up window with a screen and a curtain for privacy...not a fan of bugs

Sei troppo forte!! Spero di non essere il tuo unico follower italiano... 😄 continua cosi!

Hai dimenticato i microscopici frigoriferi!!!! HA!

Wooden slabs hate flooding, so washing machines mandatory go to the basements

Wonderful video!I like to know USA culture!Thank you so much!

I will say that while water pressure in Italian showers can be weak, when we remodeled our house in Italy, we put in a nice English Barber-Wilson showerhead (the same one we use in Stati Uniti) and we get a wonderful shower pressure. In that same bathroom, we have both a lavatrice and asciugatrice. Do love your videos but, if you want to make US vs. Italia comparisons, you need to get out of NYC (this said from someone who has had a home in Manhattan for >25 years).

Sei simpaticissima,e molto divertente 😉😉👋👋

Nice job! Interesting video. I definitely agree that the US should be a little more energy- saving conscious. Miss the fire escapes though 😂

After 15 years out of Italy... I can tell, when people ask me what I really miss about Italy (considering that we can find good Italian food everywhere in the world). Mi answer is: the BIDET!!! So cozy and nice to refresh our genitals anytime we like! ❤️

sei molto brava e soprattutto parli benissimo l'inglese, non hai la minima inflessione italiana. ti faccio i miei complimenti! p.s.: anche nel palazzo dove vivo c'è il codice del citofono, e vivo in Italia (Rimini) ;)

Lo spazio tra le case evita la propagazione dei suoni e le parti in comune, mantiene le proprietà divise.

Molto carino e divertente. Complimenti

Tesoro va bene ma poiché sono case e appartamenti diversi... Cioè non puoi mettere a paragone una casetta a schiera in America e un monolocale in Italia con la lavatrice in cucina O un condominio di New York con una casa a schiera in Italia, grazie al cazzo che il primo ha le scale antincendio

Love your content , however New York and states from up north are not like other southern state, house entrances are road level, we have laundry room dedicated in a house, etc, it varies. Greetings.

We’ve got shades and blinds. Our garbage can is stationed on the far side outside of the house.

We DO have balconies! Sometimes laundry rooms are in a hall closet and sometimes, like in California, wash machines can be in the garage. In homes, we have a room for the laundry.

I live in Yuma Arizona it's to hot in summer time to use the dryer it pulls to much electricity because we are running our air conditioner to keep the house cool down it gets between 115 to 120 degrees in our summer time no joke. So I hang out clothes out to dry either in the shade outside , u don't want to put your clothes in direct sun it's to hot and bright and your clothes colors will fade. I also hang clothes out in my bathroom to dry too. Our front doors here do not have steps leading to them but we do park on the street or drive way and walk to the door. I really enjoyed your video :) I hope one day you will be able to visit a town like mine I guess people in New York would call us the "country" and we call them "the big city" but we're very different and our homes are very different to like mine I have a huge front yard and back yard and sides of the house is big too and you can't see your neighbor threw windows I mean unless the purposely open their curtains up at night to all to see lol but we don't do that but during fall we love to open our front and back doors and windows to get fresh cool air flows some allot of people have a screen door so there's that safety but air can still come threw but your animals or small kids can't wonder outside. 🤓🦎🌵 Sending love from Arizona thanks for ur videos!

50 mq di cucina per un amburger e due patatine fritte...

è la prima volta che vedo lavatrice in cucina...

“Why is there space between houses?” Idk maybe so that if there’s a fire you don’t burn down an entire neighbourhood? 😂

American Here.... The U.S is FULL of diversity, travel past the East coast of the USA and you'll find we do still hang laundry out to dry, people have balconies, washing machines can be in the kitchen and some do have a bidet. I'm from the western U.S. and it is vastly different than the crowded east coast. For instance I have a large garden with my closest neighbors 300 ft away. Come west ;)

Ciao/Hi, I am talking as an Italian living in France. I am sorry but I don't agree with you about the fact that in Italy, like in France, it is more common to put the washing machine in the kitchen. This is the second option but it is easier to find it in the bathroom!!!

You haven’t seen very many American homes. They are quite different outside big cities. Rental units are very different than privately owned houses.

@6:00 the spacing is regulation. It serves as a firebreak in case one house catches fire, it hopefully gives enough time for the firefighters to arrive and save the neighboring house.

Adoro le scale antincendio!!!

Living in America is heaven🙂

in Italy only large families had a washing machine in da kitchen, just for cleanse towels, rags, aprons, tablecloths & napkins

belli i portici di Philadelphia, ma vuoi mettere con quelli di Bologna???

Brava. Molto interessante. ✌

Sei simpaticissimaaa

C'mon air conditioning and dryer machines are very common in Italy.

This is clearly only based on NYC. Most Americans have a laundry room in their homes, we normally have Central air and a 2 car garage. Like you only went to one place in America and it’s the most dense least representative city in the US. Also not all our homes are raised, we have slab foundation homes across the country (it’s cheaper) and slab foundation is just a basement less home on a slab of concrete that is usually easier to construct then a crawl space home

I am American. I use a fan. I also keep the curtains closed. Maybe it's a city thing to have them open in the US. You do have a point with the entrance of the building . Ottimo video.

In vacanza a New York, ho notato il particolare dell'acqua nel water che è quasi a livello della seduta (chiamiamola così) e mi è parsa una cosa giusta dal punto di vista igienico e di "odore"

American houses slide open windows too but majority of those are mobile homes/trailers 👀

The problem is she only has been to the East coast mostly NY and is making comparisons based on that alone . Is quite different from state to state . Is like me only being to Rome and saying I know all of Italy.

Nice channel, greetings

Anche l'indirizzo. Alla fafth avenue, all'angolo con forcella street... (Squallor ndr).

ACs are an absolute must! Try living in FL in the summer and you won’t last 1 day lol

As crestons wife I do want to say there are people like me lots of us who are minimalist but not extreme but there are some that are extreme then you have organized hoarders with their walk in closets

The Swiss also have their washing machines in the basement...the French and Brits have theirs in the bathroom or more commonly: the kitchen.

Rarely we have air con in Italy? But.... Where do you live bella? Lost in the Mountains? We all have AC to face the hot italian Summer. Take care.

As crestons wife in America not all houses are made of wood. My parents home was an all brick home we still have many homes made all brick. We have some but not alot made with stone. My aunt's cottage was all stone in michigan.

La lavatrice può essere in bagno , in cucina o in “lavanderia” e si può avere una lavanderia anche in appartamento , io ho una lavanderia con lavatrice asciugatrice armadi e asse da stiro , in più abbiamo anche noi le decorazioni con i legni colorati più o meno pacchiani , i pavimenti in marmo o in legno sono riservati alle case un po’ più di lusso .

When I grew up in West New Rochelle, NY in the 1960's we had a washing machine in our kitchen and we used a clothesline out the window to dry them. Oh I forgot to say I grew up in an Italian home and Grandpa came from the Town called Piso in the region of Calabria. Grandma was from Sicily. Yes, Grandpa was " Capo Tosto ".
