Thanks for watching the video A DISASTROUS RETURN TO TUSCANY FOR CARLO!

[@gailresources3970]

Love all your Reno!!! Glad Carlo is on! But not the click bait type title wording.

[@NickiPositano]

Hi Carlo here, you're right, it's better to avoid click bait titles, but honestly I would have used another title; A disastrous shitty day stuck in the mud, I don't know if it would have been a good idea, or if it was a click bait headline, but that's exactly what happened!!😂💕😘👋

[@SharonCee521]

People are going to watch Nicki and Carlo no matter what, so as far as click bait goes, who cares? Plus, it WAS disastrous getting stuck in mud and falling in mud… or at the very least, extremely stressful… 🛻🚜🚜

[@gailresources3970]

@@NickiPositano agree!! ❤️

[@patsygallon7056]

What click bait title was that? I didn't find it to be misleading or sensationalised at all🤷

[@ellenanthony8017]

I read it too quickly, and was worried that the disaster happened in Positano. Car stuck in mud is big pain in neck. @@NickiPositano

What is wrong with people being so mean and rude to you? Seriously, it is your home and you can do what you want to it. You are doing a great job. I never understand on why people have to be such jerks online.

[@jillr759]

Let’s not make an issue of it. Enjoy the video!

[@KittyMcGee1001]

It’s her choice to put her life on SM and YT. She can easily keep her life out of the public eye and avoid all of these comments.

[@aliddlebird]

​@@KittyMcGee1001You seem like enjoyable person to be around.

[@MsGringa24]

@@KittyMcGee1001I am 💯 percent with you. We subscribers are who make her channel popular! Without all of us, they would not be here. Having said that, we all have different opinions and this is a PUBLIC forum to express those whether it be positive or negative and every KZbinr will get those, its part of exposing yourself.

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

​@KittyMcGee1001 So, unless you live in a cave, family, friends and acquaintances are allowed to run their mouth off and judge you in your life choices and decisions because you put your life out there for others to see. Bet you wouldn't like any of them throwing the comment you just made at you.

[@christineveith3886]

I love that you removed the banister. It really opened the place up. It's your house, it's your renovation. People should consider themselves lucky to enjoy watching what you're sharing as you renovate your beautiful Tuscan home.

[@amyingram5793]

I immediately thought of the "PIVOT" scene from Friends when you all were moving the sofa upstairs. I love seeing all that you are doing with your new home in Tuscany!

[@Haupialani]

That's exactly what I thought. I was hearing Ross scream "Pivot!". I don't know how many times they had to redo that scene without laughing.

I have learned, in my 75 years on this earth, that people are brazen enough to say anything they want without concern for consideration, respect, or common courtesy as long as they don't have to look you in the eye. They are cowards in general because they would never say such things to your face. Instead, they hide behind social media and and can be as cruel or abusive as they want.

My Mom use to say "if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all". Think before you speak or type mean things or just don't comment at all. Love your new home and your wonderful videos.

[@7ofthem]

Total rubbish , why shouldn’t anyone want to give their contrary view if they don’t like like something ! ‘Used to’ being operative here That’s like saying ‘children should be seen and not heard’ or ‘A woman’s place is in the home’ We have moved on thankfully and are all free to express.

[@CrystalAKCrystal]

I completely agree! People should just keep their negativity to themselves.

[@wildaltarose]

Your mom may have said that but Thumper said it first.

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

​@@7ofthem Because you don't live with them. You wouldn't like someone walking in your home and criticize how you decorated it. And those would be people you like. Our home is a personal place and if we do invite others into our lives, it doesn't give them permission to insult.

[@7ofthem]

@@deborahhuckaby4623 This is the internet ! If you expose your whole life for money you have to accept criticism . It’s a personal choice for her to do so and face the consequences. Don’t like it ? Get a different job/ way of earning cash . Thought not … This is too much of a cushy number if it can sustain them both without other work ,think about it .

[@dancingmolly3878]

Hi Nicki, I would like to take a moment to say a most heartfelt thank you. I would also like to say your homes are beautiful because they reflect all the passions, hopes and dreams your family has. I found your channel in 2021. I had been 4 months in hospital with very serious sepsis that has changed my life forever. I spent the first month on life support in ICU and 5 times the doctors called my son and my parents to tell them I wasn't going to survive the night. I eventually came home to a 24-hour round-the-clock care package because I couldn't even sit up without a hoist. After 5 months of that, and gradually getting a tiny bit stronger, I'd had enough of waiting for NHS physiotherapy, and I taught myself to sit up first of all, then to stand up and then I could manage a few steps. It was during the long months of being confined to my bed that I discovered your channel. I came to southern italy when i was a teenager and my heart was utterly lost, to the amazing friendly people first, then the culture and food, then everything else. When I discovered your channel during my darkest days, I could live vicariously through your lovely family and for a while I could imagine I was in beautiful Italy once more. I now have to use a powered wheelchair due to post-sepsis syndrome and a painfully degenerating serious spinal injury I sustained over 20 years ago, and because of that i fear that a lot of amalfi will be inaccessible to me now, which is why i love your videos so very much. Ignore the naysayers nikki...especially if they are crass enough to be rude! Your eclectic style is just wonderful. Much love Nikki, Carlo, Skye, Nickola, Holly & Indy ❤

[@christineevans8998]

I think the vast majority of your viewers agree and love your posts, your creativity, and everything else! Don’t let those few who give negative opinions affect you. We all love you and enjoy both your homes!🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CH-yv3ft]

Viva Chile!

[@fionatomlinson6011]

I find it so disappointing that people can be so rude as to criticise your taste in decor etc. it’s an absolute privilege that you would share so much of your lives with us over all these years. And even then, you are so gracious when you put people straight on what should be obvious! This is your life. I absolutely love what you have created in this channel. It’s my happy place and I really appreciate your sharing about the difficulties of living far away from home. I agree it’s really hard at times. I live in NZ and my family live in the UK. So,I know the challenges it brings. But your wonderful reunion of happy people and animals was a delight to see, and makes coming together again so wonderful and special. It was a joy to watch and the final release of the car brought much joy and laughter too. ❤️

[@hollymeyers7796]

With so many serious things in this world , it’s crazy that people would complain about how you decorate your house ❤️we need to be thankful that you share your life with us , most people couldn’t do that ❤️you are a lovely family and on sundays I’m thankful to see your beautiful country and how you live ❤️❤️❤️

[@HappyLife693]

I avoided adding my opinions on the decoration or refurbishment because it is not my home, nor will it be open to the public. I am sorry people don't seem to filter their thoughts anymore. I appreciate your openness to the processes of renovation. My opinion on your railings, color scheme (they were rough with Julie [on another channel] with the paint colors she chose a few weeks ago.), or furniture choices is immaterial to what you offer, which is a glimpse of your lives. Thank you for calling out the mean comments. You set a boundary to which viewers should adhere.

[@tammieholland6500]

I agree😊

[@sandraoettle1476]

I love that she sets boundaries. She is brave for filming her life! I love her and Carlo's attitude of "Opinion noted: carrying on with my own thing. Thank you." What a classy couple.

[@HappyLife693]

I totally agree. I would be disappointed if they stopped posting. The videos are a simple pleasure for me@@sandraoettle1476

I have been alive just short of 80 years, and one of life's major lessons is that there are millions of people who are so narcissistic that they assume everyone wants what they want, like what they like, hate what they hate, and so on. The lesson: ignore them.

[@laureldreinking]

How one decorates is an expression of one’s self. How you decorate is not how I would decorate, but how you decorate shows me your inner beauty. You and Carlo are beautiful inside and out. Do not let others’ darkness obscure your light. Keep shining!

[@peggygraham6129]

From Ireland:Some people just like to troll to try and make you as miserable as they are.Ignore them! Whatever you do at your house is for you not anyone else.

[@GM-cq6ez]

The purpose of these videos is to share lives with a (hopefully) growing audience. One has to accept the good with the bad - it's all in the game, Irish. Happy 17th.

Poor Holly on the sofa nice and cozy gets pushed around.. she’s getting older and tired.. she derseves her place!!! 🐾🐾☕️✝️

Nicki here are some genuine words from me. I love your two homes! I love your color palette! I love how you are shopping in thrift shops to give new life to the furniture and curtains. It’s a sustainable approach. You and Carlo..along with Skye, Indie and Holly bring tremendous joy to us all. Love your videos! ❤❤❤

[@joetrentmann--N0JVW--4REF1]

Carlo has a great personality! We love watching your channel. Carlo comes home to a remodel (nicely done) without railing, has an unplanned adventure pulling the Suzuki and still manages to smile and make the most of a disaster being stuck. What a great guy and attitude! 😊 Great stuff! Thanks!

So heartwarming to see how the neighbors all came together for the rescue… such a blessing to live in such a beautiful area with such beautiful neighbors

[@TrueWalker88]

I love how the puppies immediately christened the couch, good call covering it immediately with a blanket, but I'm sure you're used to living with the fur. They are such cuties and it's so endearing how much you enjoy them. The house is looking cozy! Can't wait to see how it evolves.

[@deedee2874]

Apt title! A car bogged in the mud down a country path, 2 tractors, Carlo face planting in the mud, a deer being chase by the dogs. Love the realness they bring. Sharing family and friends with subscribers. The reno is wonderful to watch evolve. It is so nice to see them have their own home that belongs to them. Positano is amazing but it is a home they are custodians of and will be multi generational housing, which is something Carlo can forever be proud of creating. I so enjoy watching their story and also Carlo's very obvious love for his talented wife :)

[@YazminMontero-g4d]

The beauty of it that the neighbors gather to help and some how is like spending time together ❤️. Blessings to the whole family and everyone else 🙏🏻.

[@deded1057]

I'm sure it's difficult but please ignore the ugly trolls - they don't speak for all of us. I appreciate you generously opening your home to us! Saying anything against someone's home is insulting at best. Who would walk into someone's home and begin criticizing their choices - definitely not a friend. I like what you've done. You and Carlos have put in tons of work and you've taken risks to get this far, and I applaud you! Thank you for opening your home to the world!! Many times while watching your videos I notice and appreciate your authenticity. Ugly people spew ugly wherever they go.

[@thelittleredtina]

[@LeeC926]

From my experiences in Italy vs where I live in NYC, I have found and seen that older people in Italy are not treated quite as dismissively there as many are treated here in the states (obviously, not everyone treats older people dismissively but I do see it here and I have never, in my many trips over the past few decades in Italy, seen it there).

[@karentozer1871]

[@coleengoodell7523]

When Carlos mentioned a 4X4 I thought he was looking for a tractor or dune buggy type of vehicle just for the Farm/land and was surprised to see that you purchased more of a town care with 4X4 options. It did work out since he was out of town and you needed a street approved vehicle to get around and make purchases. Looks like you'll be looking for something a bit more tractor like for the off road adventures in the future. He's such a good soul and it looks like you've got some great neighbors near by that have already taken you guys in as part of the community. Always a blessing.

[@godisfrusciante]

In Vermont USA we have a season between the winter and the spring that we refer to as “mud season” . Children come home from school with their winter outerwear and boots covered in mud from recess each day. Pets carry mud into the house nonstop. Mud rooms are a necessity. There are many unpaved roads around the countryside and forests, so we keep traction pads in our trunks so we can get out of the mud without assistance. Even when attending events, if parking is on the grass, it’s necessary to have a tractor to pull cars out afterwards. Good luck. I hate mud season. 🙂

Quite the lesson in learning what you can and cannot do on the land when it rains. Great job everyone! It helps to make friends with your neighbors. Love it! Nicki, don’t listen to the critics. I know it must sting but it’s your taste, your home and dream. Keep doing you and enjoy making that house YOUR home. 🏡 🤗💞

I so enjoy your videos. I love that you and Carlo use both languages. Sharing your dailies, what its like living there, the prices, your garden, your meal prep, etc. It’s your house and you both put it together to fit your tastes and needs and budget. My friends and I all have different decor styles.

I thank you and Carlo for providing an escape for me from the Stress of LA. I love the way your house is coming along. It has such a cozy warm look.
