A GALE FORCE EASTER IN POSITANO! Nonno Makes 18 Pastiere| EP 177

Please excuse the quality of some of the footage in this video. We are not sure why it recorded like this but we are looking into it.
The recipe for Nonno's pastiere is something that he only has in his head and cannot share as there are no small measurements. You can easily find other pastiera recipes online, all slightly different.

Thanks for watching the video A GALE FORCE EASTER IN POSITANO! Nonno Makes 18 Pastiere

[@klwiedenhoeft]

That was fun! I really love that you are respecting Skye's privacy, and having healthy boundaries and not caving to the KZbin pressure to display everything about everyone just because people are asking. As usual, your video was my favorite Sunday treat.

[@danstoye3902]

Glad that Skye is keeping her life private, so many young people put their whole life out on social media, not realizing that we change throughout our lifetimes and the internet is forever. With modern technology photos and memories don't fade, letters don't get thrown away, tapes don't disintegrate. A perfect example is in this video where you are able to go back in time to watch your father-in-law cook. Remember your future children and children's children will be able to see your content.

[@rosediaz3439]

Very nice video, little bit of everything, not you much of anything. Beautiful life in Positano.

[@TrueWalker88]

I noticed she always seems shy of the camera, looks away and is rarely featured. I figured she requested to not be filmed and I would feel the same way.

[@rsoubiea]

oh how cute to see carlos father cooking his speciality. Im so sorry he's not feeling well this year. sending much love

[@wayasaunooke3424]

Also, may I just add, you and all your family and friends consistently give off such warmth. Such a brilliant bunch of people, it would surely be a joy and a blessing to be a part of your community and friend group ♡

[@Jana-wz7dr]

When you filmed your parents making 18 cakes for friends and family, there was probably no thought given to this not being possible in the future. Having this memory on video is so special. And may your parents feel up to baking in the near future again. Nicki I applaud your gorgeous afghan and handstand. Carlo your many many attempts at doing your hand walk….and I love that your belly told you not to do it. 😄

[@wayasaunooke3424]

Watching all those cakes being made was fascinating but also incredible! I take my hat off to your mother and father in law, they are such a wonderful example of tradition and love ❤

[@neolaniperry8980]

I adore it when your husband says HELLO EVERYWHERE!!! Dont't change

[@meme7591]

I would love to hear Carlos parents talk about how Italy has changed and what it was like in world war II

[@jeannettesmyth7643]

I've been studying the allied landing at Salerno and the amazing feats of the commandoes who took the Sorrento peninsula. Can they talk about that?

[@laurenl5843]

The war was over 75 years ago. His parents are not old enough to remember. But perhaps were told stories from Carlo's grandparents.

[@Brooke-bl3yq]

i met a 90-plus year old man in perugia in 2006, he talked about the war and the attacks that left people homeless, he must have passed on by now, he told my then 75 year old mother how beautiful she is...she is 91 now. A complete stranger, so glad to talk to us, he was impressed she knew some italian :) i love this channel.

[@mf5531]

his parents do not like to be filmed and Nicki respects that, so i doubt they would agree to talk about Italy. simply fyi.

[@kristinagoding7045]

Clever girl that Skye, we need to respect her wishes...and again thank you for letting me spend a moment in Positano XOXO

[@bakeoholic7367]

HATS OFF to the passion of Carlo's father, Zia Jiovanni and Nicki's dad (the great jam maker) for their passion towards creative pursuits and love for their families. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely lives Nicki and Carlo. Much Love to you and your families and Happy Easter :)

[@degunver7672]

Well done in leaving Skye to have her privacy🌸 I have an 18 yr old daughter too and she is tired of “everyone” asking her what her plans are. I can’t imagine having 171K subscribers asking!! Wishing Syke a great summer! 🌸🍀🌼🌊🍋🍓

[@dixiechicken2643]

Incredibly smart of Skye not to answer questions, she doesn't need anyone's opinion on how she should be living, and that's exactly, what she would get. Love seeing the girls get so excited, they're always so cute and dressed so nicely. Carlos, I hope your father feels better soon, and your mother is well.

[@AdonaiForMe]

So proud of Skye for being her own person and strong enough to set boundaries ❤️, that’s healthy!

[@katd1026]

The joy and the pride he put into those pies! When Carlo was doing that handstand Holly ran for cover hahaha

[@EE90EE]

This was EASILY one of the best videos you guys have made in a long time. We are some of your biggest watchers here in Canada. We just have the entire anthology on repeat as it’s the perfect backdrop for our life. I think the connection you feel here with your nanna/nonna and family/friends really makes this feel so much more genuine and true. Thanks for your dedication to OUR escapism! I do hope to one day say hi to you or Carlo as we walk by each other in the town!

[@denisedecarlo9311]

Carlo parents are so sweet...he looks like his mom...love seeing them making the pastiera...thank you

[@katefinnegan8129]

I haven’t seen Tomas recently. I love to see him cooking on your vlog. He is very natural when he cooks and explains the meals he is making. Maybe he has a cooking vlog in his future? I enjoy every part of what you show us of life in Positano. Take care.

[@susieq4917]

Well done for letting Sky have her privacy I only wish other utuber’s were the same.She has her whole life ahead of her to choose and decide what path to take. I wish her all the best for wherever life takes her,wishing her health and happiness always.

[@alexphan9750]

Laughed out loud when you showed us Carlo's favorite part of the house 😂 all of the men in my family feel the same way about the bathroom. So much so that we now call it the "office"

[@Roosterdad50]

This reminds me of my Italian Grandfather, Angelo. He would prepare a Thanksgiving feast fit for a king. It was all Italian food and he insisted that he do this all by himself even though my Grandmother was an excellent cook as well. They've been gone for many years now and I still miss them dearly.

[@lucybirot5623]

Very moved to read about your wonderful grandparents and how you miss them. There are tears in my eyes. x

[@Roosterdad50]

@@lucybirot5623 Thank you very much!

[@khill2635]

I love watching how Italian people make recipes from scratch, such patience and dedication. Your crochet blanket is beautiful and well done Carlos doing a handstand 🤣

[@robertmahler8894]

What a wonderful group of friends! Enjoy! Love Elizabeth's warmth and her lovely girls! Thank you for your openness in the Q and As. Best wishes to Sky!

[@mezanian]

Thank you Carlo, Nicki and everyone. Enjoyed this time with you all🥰 Good luck Skye for the summer of work☺. Indie is going to settle down soon...maybe.🤣

[@JoKnowsAdventure]

I really enjoyed this video today! Lots of interesting things! You are right to ask for Skye's privacy, it shows your love for her. 😀

[@patricak2952]

Aloha and Happy Easter from Hawaii🌺💐Our whole family enjoy and look forward to your adventures. My husband is Croatian, Greek. We drove through your beautiful coast a few years back while visiting his family and I remember thinking, this has got to be one of the most beautiful places in Europe. How blessed to be able to enjoy Positano through your eyes. With all that is happening in our world. What a wonderful escape! Mahalo nui loa, Patty🌺💞🤙

[@jennlynnl]

Yes I remember watching the videos of Carlo‘a father making the pastiere. I hope he and Carlo’s mother are doing well. Wonderful to see family and friends once again getting together and sharing special times 😊. Everyone has a right to privacy and no explanation needed, I am just so grateful for all that you do show in your daily lives. I would never have learned so much about Positano and the other great places you have shown if it wasn’t for your channel! Can’t wait to see the tiles!

[@Blopez383]

This was cute. I laughed when Carlos was attempting his handstands....Holly walked away LOL. Thanks for the laughs. ❤️❤️

[@jackies3245]

I love it when Carlo says ‘Hello Everywhere’. Nicki, your videos are a joy to watch. They have been the best distraction for me from my recent health scare. Now on the mend. Keep doing what you do, you have a wonderful family and you live in a stunning part of the world.

[@barbarawillis5187]

Thank you very much for this video I loved the look of pure delight on Nonno's face when he was staring at his baked Easter pies spread out before him on the table.

[@fionalewis3121]

Loved this video. I am a kiwi, born and bred, 51 years old and have never ever heard of kicking an easter egg around, I asked around a few of my friends and no one has heard of it, DEF NOT a kiwi tradition at Easter. I find it Bizarre, each to their own, but not a tradition by any means. Parents in law are legends. Talented, generous and committed. Just beautiful.

[@sherylvalentiner6115]

You’re hysterical. Both of you. Indy chewing on Holly’s face is priceless. Dogs…you just have to love them. Thanks for sharing your traditions and home so generously. I say bravo to Skye for keeping her life PRIVATE. That is most certainly her right and I respect her immensely for it. 💜🇺🇸

[@jomcgee6094]

The girls looked so adorable in their Easter dresses!

[@deltafay1981]

I LOVE how kind and loving these two wonderful human beings are towards animals.

[@cyndemckay4158]

The work and care and love that went into those cakes/pies and then giving them all away is the true meaning of love. Beautiful.

[@annettewalter2273]

Never stop saying Hello Everywhere! Great question and answer, lots of laughs and your crocheting was beautiful Nicki.

[@newearth4071]

Lol😂 finally carlo learned to say " EVERY ONE ". HE IS SO SWEET . LOVE YOU GUYS ❤🙏💝💐

[@hdragongirl7628]

Thank you for bringing sunshine and laughter to this glorious Sunday. Happy Easter!

[@dhara_jtw]

What a beautiful Easter and indeed a beautiful life! Harvard Business School teaches a course on happiness which suggests the leading indicator of our happiness is relationship health, and it seems like you have so many wonderful relationships in your life down to your beautiful animals. I wish us Americans would take a lesson from the Italians on the importance of slowing down and enjoying time with loved ones :)

[@jomoore147]

Nikki, Carlo is so endearing. Loved the retro part, thanks for including The World in your lovely LIFE.

[@flofudge8680]

Carlo, I like the way you say “hello everywhere” as we are watching from all over the world. It is cute!

[@CGR-fh9xf]

Now we see where Carlo gets his awesomeness from, his amazing dad! We're glad we were able to see this bit of older footage. Your Easter lunch looked like so much fun. Thanks for sharing. We've noticed that Sky is very private, we hope viewers respect her boundaries. We've also noticed in many of the videos Indie sometimes plays roughly with Holly who is an older dog, so glad Carlo noticed it in this video.

[@sjt609]

💐Happy belated Easter blessings everyone, everywhere! Fabulous variety in this video once again; great Q&A; I recall seeing in amazement the 18 pastiera (yum); seeing Elizabeth and family and her Easter traditions; and roared laughing at you Nicki and Carlo having fun together. Such fun on this vlog and so enjoyable. 😘Much love to you Nicki, Carlo and friends. XoXo

[@my3sons757]

Don't feel too bad about your weather. It Snowed heavily here on Easter Sunday in upstate N.Y. That Easter pastry/cake sure looked rich and delicious and A lot of work! 🎂😋

[@bernicebabe4154]

Was fascinated to hear of the NZ "tradition " of kicking the eggs. I'm a 4th generation Kiwi and have never heard of it. Maybe it's a family tradition of your friends. On another note, good on Skye for setting boundaries and Mum and Dad for respecting them! Am looking forward to seeing the kitchen tiles in place.

[@jbloveday9538]

Must admit that I’ve lived here in NZ since 1965 and have never heard of it either!

[@Little_But_Fierce_NZ]

Another Kiwi, 65 years old and never heard of it either.

[@terriboccio6963]

Truly amazing to watch your father in law making 18 Easter cakes!

[@SamFournier]

Carlo trying to walk on his hands while you singing a jingle me laughing so hard. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Easter with friends and family❤️

[@milenkab8683]

What a lovely video! I just can't get enough of your videos and Positano, your family and friends. How lovely your In-laws cooking, the little girls egg hunt, the flowers you pickup from the path to your friends house, you guys standing up on your hands, your husband sitting on top of the plant 😄....the olive tree brunch on a glass!! I'm going to copy that idea.....I just can't get enough! I enjoy every minute .....I'm greatful for your time to do these enchanting videos...Thank you! Have a gret time until your next video.

[@pomme800]

Hope the whole "lovely gang" had a happy Easter..you seem to be surrounded by good friends and family...lots of laughter and good eating ..the best and most important things in life❣🐇

[@katesterly547]

I watched Carlo's father cooking a few years ago. I was amazed then and I'm still amazed at it. what a lovely Easter you guys had. scratches to all the four-legged furbabies . Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.

[@meghachakraborty9791]

Wow!!! I am so awed by the love and dedication Carlo's parents have for the traditions.. It gives me such a warm feeling in these troubled times where everyone is struggling to find something to hold onto.. I hope Carlo's father gets well soon.. 🤗🤗 Also loved that anwsering round at the end at different parts of your house, more so as it showed a beautiful and natural bond between the two of you.. Much love to you and your family ❤❤

[@dakota7222]

I remember this video of the 18 Pastiera cakes being made several years ago. Loved watching this!

[@chrismaraccini8108]

That is one of my favorite things " Hello everywhere ".

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

I like when Carlo says hello everywhere,your afghan is beautiful as is your home . I respect what Skye said she’s a beautiful person ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@barbaragrace1992]

I love your crotchet blanket as well as your colourful outdoor soft furnishings. It's right up my alley. I love your life that you show us. Healthy and so natural. Thank you.

[@lisacraze1]

Lovely video. Thank you! And I'm so glad Carlo made the "mistake" of saying "Hello Everywhere"! It's charming and now I say it too!

[@katiavandam8435]

Thank you for being so real and honest. For fudge: semi- sweet milk chocolate morsels (e.g., toll house) 3 cups, butter 1/4 cup, vanilla flavoring 1 teaspoon, sweetened condensed milk 1-can. Microwave for two minutes, stir well, if appears creamy when stirred, then let it set in the refrigerator in a container.

[@pamjones336]

I was really interested to hear the Easter tradition of playing football with the egg. I have lived in New Zealand all my life (62 now) & never heard of that!

[@bernicebabe4154]

Me neither.

[@karencheney2347]

I love "hello everywhere"-beautiful crochet work! I think that it is great that you respect Skye's privacy-love that! What a great video!

[@DanteTravel]

It's so nice to see Nicki, Carlo & their friends on a special Ester day!

[@CallieMasters5000]

It's nice to see the girls in your video enjoying the fun parts of life & the holidays that adults often don't do anymore. They'll have so many opportunities in life with their Italian & Austrian heritage and exposure to English as well.

[@sydneykasmar]

"Hello Everywhere" is an unexpected greeting and it is warm and wonderful. And fun!!!

[@luciaperdue5687]

I look forward to your video's Nicki I wish for you over a million subscribers You're so natural and a delight to watch no nonsense love your video's God bless you and your family xxx

[@markwoodley712]

Great video celebrating the Easter holiday especially with the old footage with Carlos' parents pastiera. That mozzarella looked like challah bread. We had the strong winds here on Good Friday, but it was sunny. We cover our lawn with coloured eggs and some blew away, first time in 15 years doing this tradition.

[@mariap6799]

This was such a fun video, loved it!!😅🤩 Good hand stand Nicki🙃

[@annlevack8220]

Just love watching your video thank you 🙂

Loved this one and totally respect Skye for wanting to keep her personal things private. Good girl!

[@carolinecoffey5404]

Wow Loved todays video especially seeing Carlo dad making the Easter Cakes, it was nice of you to share your Easter lunch with friends sending thanks and 💕

[@patriciakelly69]

Those cakes are amazing… I live in Spain and the amount of mistakes I’ve made are numerous. I asked for Chicken in the supermarket. I said un polla instead of pollo. It meant a penis. I had been saying the word for a year. Thank you,,,,,xxxx

[@elizabethbruner2686]

What a beautiful tradition and labor of love from Carlo’s dad, thank you for inserting past footage in this video. I love seeing Elizabeth and her beautiful family, her girls remind me of when my girls were little

[@jo-anndangelo1774]

That was a wonderful Easter, the lovely walk, the children finding the eggs…the chocolate football…mostly the two of you. Sharing your stories and just being you…thank you.❤️

[@MrVikingsandra]

I've never made that many cakes in my whole life 😄 wow, very impressive 👏 Those final questions were really interesting!

[@leighevans1489]

So lovely seeing Carlo's Dad making his cakes. Hope he is feeling ok. Good on you for respecting Skye's privacy. Loved the Q And A

[@laurenl5843]

Another fantastic video. Carlo's father is incredible. I feel honoured to see how he made all those Easter cakes. And to be a part of the Easter visit with your lovely friends. I'm glad that Skye is keeping her privacy. Good for her! Thank you once again for allowing us into your lives. Lots of love from Toronto 💜🇨🇦 If you ever want to visit we have plenty of room. 👍😊

[@themissdior1235]

When we were children we would boil eggs on Saturday and on Sunday we would get out the paints on the kitchen table and decorate them. In the afternoon we went to a hill nearby with all the children on our street and rolled them several times before they would be in bits:) Happy days . Chocolate Easter eggs were more decorated then with little chicks and flowers yum. You all had a lovely time with your friends and family which is lovely to see everyone bringing something to the celebration. Im so glad Skye didnt want to be telling the world her business . She is young and very sensible . You have brought her up well:) sending much love xx

[@agnieszkalukacs8882]

I loved this episode. You bring us so much happiness and laughter. Thanks for carrying on making the videos. Waiting for it every Sunday 🤗

[@sandicarpenter2658]

Oh My Goodness! Carlo, watching your beautiful parents making Pastiera was totally mesmerizing!!! What a skill....was this their profession? I love how the hand working with no machines is still carried on today in Italy. For a young person this would be hard work, so it's good to know he is resting up this year....love to you all xx Sandi

[@thestickerfarm1254]

Great happy video. We need more “happy” in these stressful times. Watching Carlo’s father’s hands working that dough made me flash back to my great grandmother for some odd reason. She also worked huge piles of dough during the holidays.

[@michelleellis8201]

I like the tradition of hitting the eggs together. What fun! 💕 Easter egg hunts for the girls and the adults too! What a fabulous day with friends.

[@Natalia_X8787]

Nicky and Carlo, you are so lucky you have each other !!!✨🌟 You are adorable, and real !!!! You are living in a wonderful place..your video's are made better and better,. I love you so much !!! I wish you the best from my heart !!!💫✨ Love from Greece !!!💞💛♥️💙

[@tiffany-sheriwageman.3702]

Your Italian family is so precious and your father in-law is so amazing as a cook and chief to make such yummy food for all his family and friends. I am so happy that you got to spend a wonderful day with your friends!

[@gc7068]

I enjoyed watching your traditions and hope Carlo's papa feels better soon. It's hard to let traditions go when you age. But when nobody is there to carry it on, what do you do! We've been married for 40 years and don't argue. Neither of us is comfortable with contention of any sort. We agree to disagree but see eye to eye on most things. I am so glad that you are honoring Skye's request for privacy. Too many vloggers exploit their children these days. If the youngster wishes to participate, that's fine; when they don't, respect their choice. Good for you, Papa and Mama. Have a beautiful Sabbath day.

[@patriciahall2223]

The baking reminds me of my next door neighbor she's from Naples beautiful family & friends celebrating Easter , lovely video Thank you 🇨🇦

[@Castlebay24]

Thank you Nikki & Carlo for a beautiful and 'thoughtful' video ( one of those 'TH' words Carlo)🥴 We were moved by the dedication of Carlo's parents to bake for their loved ones, what a joy! what a special couple! a true demonstration of what can be achieved with the right heart attitude and very little modern appliances, LOVED IT!! It reminded me of the days of bottling tomatoes, when whole village would be preparing & cutting tomatoes, the season where everyone had a job to do, kids & adults alike and we would work & eat and play into late evening. Those days are fast gone although some Italian families still carry these traditions here in Australia. Such true community spirit, BRING IT ON! Loved the Easter festivity and how the little ones had such fun gathering the choc eggs, how everyone participated and no one was left without. Such joy! And what a finale, Carlo on the throne! Ha Ha....could'nt make it up! It was beautifully entertaining. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Ciao Ciao. M&D xx

[@Maria.cool63]

Hope Carlos Dad is getting stronger. So much love and tradition in baking for family and friends.

[@PietroItalianoo]

BUONA PASQUA TUTTI🙏. A very touching part was your flashback to 2017. With your in-laws. The passion and patience. It takes to create these Easter cakes. He was so elated at the end. That is definitely going to be a memorable video FOREVER. Thank you for sharing. I pray he’s feeling better🙏 💐🙏

[@karen6778]

Oh wow!!! The video of the cake making is extraordinary! 💕💕 thank you for including that. It really gives meaning to the expression “a labour of love”. Yes Carlo does look like his beautiful mum. Ok I’ve got to finish watching just had to comment. 💕🥰💕🥰💕

[@nancycolbert2703]

Nicki, I think you and Carlo must be part mountain goats the way you navigate those narrow paths along the edge of a cliff. Your crochet blanket is beautiful. Just love the purple shades. Kudos to Sky for standing up for her privacy. Belated Happy Easter from Canada

[@rosettab5152]

You guys rock! Love watching your videos every week. And kudos to Skye for setting boundaries!

You guys really rock! I am so glad that there is flexibility in your lives for Skye to choose her own path. Let her know we appreciate her occasional appearances. Blessings to everyone in Pasitano, Muffy from Oz

[@tinahemminger1372]

What a fun video. Cudos for honoring Skye’s privacy. I think everyone is interested because they love your family. But she should enjoy her youth, no one knows at 18 what they want to do with their life. She needs to experience life to know what she wants and what she doesn’t. Sometimes the path of discovery is full of joy. Life happens when your not looking. Too be young again, don’t we all envy her. Blessings.

[@almawebber]

watching your father in law make those pies was everything!!! thank you for sharing

[@rethinkpaper1397]

Wow I remember watching the cake making years ago. Time flies. Loved to see it again. Great video. Xx
