“Often you will find that the miracle itself is just to be able to be here.” I had to write it to retain such perfect wisdom. ❤

Fiorella, your commentary was beautiful and inspirational. I will leave you with this quote by Virginia Wolf: "Whatever happens, stay alive. Don't die before you're really dead. Don't lose yourself, don't lose hope, don't lose direction. Stay alive, with all of yourself, with every cell of your body, with every fiber of your skin. Stay alive, learn, study, think, build, invent, create, speak, write, dream, design. Stay alive, stay alive inside you, stay alive outside too, fill yourself with the colors of the world, fill yourself with peace, fill yourself with hope. Stay alive with joy. There is only one thing you must not waste about life, and that is life itself."❤🇮🇹

This may be the first video I have seen youth involved. It must be difficult to be young in a small town...anywhere! Your comments were very insightful. Thanks for sharing!

Much of the rhythms of life in Italy are linked to the seasons. It's lovely to see things happening there.

Grazie! Really great narrative! "are you a tourist or a visitor?" Most of my friends are rapid tourists traveling around the world but IMHO not experiencing the local culture as a visitor. Many years ago on my first visit to Italia, I would go down to the piazza around 1700 and just be friendly and try and chat with the locals and ask them about their life first...not tell them about my life. They did not pay money to listen to my life, but, I paid money to visit their life!

Excellent! So true! I'm tired of the large cities. Thank you for this perspective.

Beautifully said and done, Fiorella.

I LOVE this video. You really showed the everyday life there which I love to watch. I do like when you show properties but I love seeing the village life and celebrations better. Thank you for your wonderful content. I look forward to more videos like this one and maybe surrounding areas. 👍🏻😊🇮🇹

Thank you, Fiorella. What a lovely video with an uplifting message.

I love, love, loved this video and peek into parts of the life of your little town. You have given us a great little tour of the beautiful town and surroundings as well as into the life of the town which is so difficult to see when you come as a visitor, even when you slow down. How wonderful that you have been entrusted to film the celebrations in the town. Nice to see that the town is moving forwards and making improvements for its citizens. I love how you are integrating yourselves into the community. Sometimes you hear that this is so hard to achieve. Good to see Aiden feeling well again. ❤ 🙋‍♀🇦🇺

Really nice perspective. I cannot wait to move to my place in rural Umbria and embrace what it has to offer. I look forward to contributing to my community. I appreciate how you remain being open to your local life.

You and Aiden have bolstered the economy of your town and brought new life to the community! Take your bows! 😁👍❤️

The town looks very well kept, bright and welcoming. You are a very mature, sensible lovely couple to appreciate the great and simple things in life - most of us only reach this enlightenment when much older. But I’m sure it’s not all rainbows and unicorns everyday either 😊. Thanks again for capturing the poignant and beautiful snippets of village life

What a lovely insight of this pretty town, delightful👏🏽🥰

Grazie da Texas come sempre ❤

Great video, loved seeing what you get up to in your little village. I think with you having Aden and your adorable pets makes a huge difference and it allows you to enjoy the life in a small village. I love the small villages, especially those in the mountains surrounded by greenery and forests, but after a month I would be needing more stimulation. Termoli and Manfredonia have the perfect mix for me. Live your best and stay well!!

I love this video and all your thoughts and opinions are absolutely true. ❤

thank you ! very nice! i very much appreciate you sharing that with us.

Absolutely LOVE THIS ONE Fiorella!!!!!

I think this is one of the things I like best about your channel. You respect the places and people and cats❤ around you. It's a pleasure to watch.

Cute video. I lived for a year in Genoa and I feel in love with the city

Che bello! The town is progressing nicely. ❤️🇮🇹

Thank you for your thoughts! Heartwarming to hear your perspectives.

Amazing and peaceful lifestyle and magnificent surroundings ❤Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼Greetings from Melbourne, Australia ❤

Hi fiorella. I really love your videos. I am trying to build a channel myself about living in Sicily and the process of waiting until the move. Which for me has not happened yet... You bring me inspiration on many levels.

Absolutely lovely 😍😍 l believe that small town life is the best life. Thank you for sharing your village with us. 🤗❤️🌈🕊️

Amazing, you explained it so well ❤ Love

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the village. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you so much you made me love Italy even more .

What a beautiful town. It is in our top 5 to retire in. I hope you and Aden can help us to acclimate.Much love from Canada. 🇨🇦

Very enjoyable. Thank you!

Saludos desde Argentina Fiorella!! Montecilfone es una hermoso pueblo, al igual que la mayoría de los pueblos de Italia. Muy bueno el video!!Gracias!

Lovely. I felt like I was there. And very much wished to be.

Loved the small town feeling. We live in Toronto, Canada but hope to move to Europe in a couple of years 🙂

I been to italy and many long established countries and the differance is, they are not under construction and they are life, not a birth process

Molto interessante e bello. Grazie Fiorella.

Thank you for sharing. It is so frustrating that people insist that no one lives in these smaller Italian villages. This is the heart and soul of Italy!! I enjoyed this video so much!!!

Fun video :). Well done.

Love your videos.

Coming from an overcrowded, overtaxed, always traffic suburb of NY city, it’s beautiful

Love this video

Muito bom ! Quizera eu estsr morando nesse lugar lindo e sosegado! !!

You are adorable, and I like your accent! Great video, I salute you from Florence Tuscany!

So very very beautiful. A life well lived if you ask me! ❤✨

Oi Fiorella, acho lindas suas roupas e acessórios estilo vintage, aquele óculos da Prada que você usou em algum vídeo mais antigo, até procurei o modelo na Internet, e todos os outros modelos, você tem muito bom gosto e tudo fica muito chic em você, parabéns. 🥰

I absalutly agree with your take on that question. Smell the flowers i say,and dont look for your brand of perfume

Hermoso, beautiful!! Simple life..Godere di gli cosi simple…

I love this episode. I one of the people who was wondering why we don't see people

Your points are most valid. Life perspective and how you share the reality is wonderful. I'm new to this and really enjoying your channel. Fellow Aussie, 21 years in BO/FI/VE... from '00 to '20. Would love also to hear your backstories. Send me the link if you've already published it. Cheers. Jennifer

any future video regarding your italian language learning process? what about dialect learning? :)

I like ☀ flowers and i like italy❤

Beautiful 😍

Looks like heaven to me

Nice but why didn't you show footage of the procession with carts and animals ?

Cool , nice change....Aloha

❤

Hi fiero ella, how many people live in your comune? Alrox

What ivillage in Molise?

Is this an Arbereshe town? What drew you here?

Most Americans live in a high speed rat race. They are tourists. Not visitors. We’ve been to Roma 31 times and can relate to your video most clearly.

Cats really like you!!!

Ciao molise . Compbasso . Isernia ..

Where exactly is this, what town?

What do the locals think about Americans buying properties in the small communities?

🌺🌙🕋🌙🇧🇩🌙🕋🌙🌺

VERY ASTUTE
