Lisa tearing up made me tear up. Wow! Enjoy your trip guys! Just beautiful.

[@billandlisa]

Thank you. =)

[@melaneymattson3733]

Love that last shot of the sun shining down on the Basilica., like God overseeing!

[@capt.obvious4487]

I love the Gregorian chant in the back ground.

[@Chaptersaudio]

Why am I crying?😢 The Cathedral is just breath taking. It looks so incredibly beautiful and intricate. I must plan a trip to Italy. I love the food, people and architecture.❤

[@billandlisa]

Moving indeed... so much history there.

[@winniepoohbear8916]

The camera work was awesome, Bill! I truly think being there in person is emotionally satisfying! Can't wait for the next one!!

[@billandlisa]

Very true, Winnie. Thank you.

[@Rosstacular]

Between the delicious prosciutto paninis and the breathtaking cathedrals, it's hard not to get emotional in Italy. Enjoy Italy. Excited to see the rest of your trip!

[@beverlyherbert6952]

Another great video ❤ I'm glad you guys show us the world since everyone is not as lucky to travel 😊 all the food looked good and the scenery was fantastic 😊 always look forward to watching you guys !!!! Keep having fun ❤❤

Thank you, Beverly!

[@vickilawhorn8284]

Bill and Lisa, Thanks for letting us see Italy through your eyes. Amazing!! Irene

[@billandlisa]

You're very welcome, Irene!

[@michellel3596]

My mom went there about 4 years ago - watching this brought back so many happy memories for her! LOVED the first vlog and can’t wait to see the rest ❤

[@francescasignorile6095]

Bill and Lisa! Oh, how I enjoyed this video you’re in my birthplace. The bread on those Panini’s is focaccia. I make it all the time and then we slice it in the middle and put cold cuts inside such as the ones you ate. That lemon ice cream is called granita and it’s best paired up with chocolate gelato. The granita with Chocolatte is an out of this world combination. My favourite! Thank you so much for sharing and I’m looking forward to the next videos.🤗

[@billandlisa]

We'll have to try that gelato combo next time!

[@mariog3121]

Wow Milan is a beautiful place!! What a stunning breathtaking view of the architecture of the cathedral. Looks like a lot of history is preserved in milan. Hope you both had a great visit and I enjoy seeing all your places you present us 🥰🥰

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Mario! Milan was beautiful, stay tuned for more Italy vlogs.

[@danni1501]

Oh wow!!! Thank you so much for this video. That Cathedral is so moving and can understand how you, Lisa would be brought to tears with that beautiful music Is it live? And whoa Bill, Numero 1, priceless reaction. That huge loaded sandwiches were inexpensive. Thanks for letting us tag along.🥖🍖🥪🥤

[@billandlisa]

No service was going on, so pretty sure it was prerecorded. Stay tuned for more!

[@bettyzipkin7129]

What a beautiful vlog of Milan. The historical sites are breathtaking and the eateries are exceptional (I wanted to grab that panini from the TV). Can't wait to see more of your adventures. Thanks a million for the anniversary shoutout to Leanna and AJ from Milan.

[@billandlisa]

You're very welcome! Next Italy vlog dropping this Sunday. =)

🇮🇹 🇺🇸 ✈ ✈ Hey Lisa!!!!! Hey Bill !!!!! Glad you are enjoying yourselves!!!!! ❤ 😊

[@Oobe]

those free water fountains are there to drink, that water is cleaner and higher quality than bottled water in USA. in Rome they have over 2000 of them scattered around the city

[@ladygoodday]

Always take the steps. It’s healthier especially with all that food you eat.

[@mikahlemage]

6:23 Nobody should skip the rooftop view from the Duomo. When we took the steps to the rooftop we didn’t find them difficult/steep at all.

[@jackiemcglone9225]

Lisa the stain glass was beautiful. What a special trip you took. Beautiful buildings there. Lucky couple. Take care.

[@valerieh8882]

There are no words to describe the history of the buildings. Yes breath taking, Italy has my heart and votes. Been to many cities in Italy and loved every minute of it. Enjoy, feast on all the foods and be safe. Gods. Blessings🌹

[@billandlisa]

Thank you, Valerie. A few more vlogs coming.. stay tuned!

[@titasmom678]

I'm watching your video and remembered my trip to Italy and have to say your trip beats what I experienced by 10 miles! I went on a guided tour and found we were rushed and we really didn't enjoy the food at the places we went to. Doing your homework and going to the places you wanted to go to is the way to travel. You are showing me tons of tips and do's for my next trip abroad. Hope you had a great time. If I am to judge your vacation by what you showed us - you totally did!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Carol! We had a great time for sure. We watched a few KZbin videos and researched some places online to get ideas on what to see and eat there. Stay tuned for more episodes!

[@rhondalockrey9592]

The cathedral made me cry too so beautiful! Can't wait to see all the Italian food!! Thanks so much for taking us with you!

[@tonyjaz]

Wow bill and Lisa you do get around quick! I Love Italy! Watching you eat make me hungry! Grazie ,Bellísimo Have fun in Italy 🇮🇹 Enjoy your travels.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Tony!

[@BillSchafer48]

Wow, Italy!!! Fantastic shots of the architecture. And the food, of course, was outstanding. Can’t wait for the next chapter. Other Bill

Thanks Bill!

[@s.jensen1492]

Wow ! Some breathtaking sights! Those sandwiches look amazing! I can see why there’s a line! Thank you Bill and Lisa for sharing with us !

[@billandlisa]

You're welcome, S! Thanks for watching!

[@teresaramos1719]

The bread is foccacia" hearth bread" actually developed in Italy.Used universally in sandwiches and as pizza base as well.😉Enjoy Milan!

[@MrItaliansound]

Hi, welcome to Milan! 1:22 That "needle and thread" art installation symbolizes how the different subway lines unite the city as if to sew it together (the thread is red, green and yellow, the colors of the subway lines existing at the time the installation was finished). Also that station is Cadorna, it's not the main station, Cadorna Station is for regional traffic. The main station is Milano Centrale.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for the info!

[@arlenet.1520]

Hi! Finally on my day off I get to watch this video for a second time because I had to take a closer look of what was one the Porchetta sandwich…olive spread!!! Made a note in my travel planner…Italy is my second dream trip! Been wanting to go since I was in elementary school when my Dad would tell me his stories of his travels to Italy when he was in the US Navy. It will be a tribute in his memory to see all he told me about especially the Sistine Chapel…Thanks for another amazing adventure!!! I’m dreaming of the food now…😊

[@billandlisa]

You're welcome, Arlene. We have more cities to explore next time we go to Italy, starting with Rome. =)

[@joanne6086]

Hi Bill & Lisa...thank you for the beautiful scenery...I'm Italian, but have never been to Italy, so I'm living the dream thru you guys...have a wonderful experience 💕🙋‍♀️

[@billandlisa]

You're welcome, Joanne.

[@melaneymattson3733]

What a trip of a lifetime!! So happy for you to experience such magnificence. I did, vicariously through you, thanks. Also, noticed new matching wedding rings?? Melaney from SoCal

[@caddyrack]

Bill, Lisa.....take a walk on the wild side. Go to Naviglio grande/darsena near Porta Ticinese, walk up and down both sides make sure to make a stop at a local bar and have a capuccino or latte in the morning. You'll NEVER forget the experience. I lived in Milano for 17 yrs of my life. Cheers

[@billandlisa]

Great suggestion, will have to check it out next time we visit.

[@carorio567]

Wow Italy !! Good for you guys beautiful 👍 those sandwiches 😋💚

[@harveyh3696]

I know you have flight travel benefits from Delta but wonder how do you work out the logistics to and fro when you reach your destination airport. Transport, hotel, local sources, etc, etc. I think a presentation on how you plan and execute a trip would be immensely interesting and informative.

[@billandlisa]

For this particular trip, since we made hotel reservations prior, we bought employee discounted confirmed seats from LA to NYC because of limited open seats and didn't want to take any chances getting bumped. There were plenty of open seats from NYC to Milan, so we flew standby. As for transportation, we just took the local transit system, was clean and efficient.

[@harveyh3696]

@@billandlisa I'm envious of your opportunity to travel. I was offered a job at Western Airlines in the late 70's but didn't take it. If the offer was from Delta; I might be kicking my ass now. All in all, I've lived a somewhat blessed life. Carpe Diem

[@irishgip71]

Thanks Deborah!

[@JoshRachael]

Been trying to hold off watching you Italy videos til closer to when we go but had to watch this morning. Your emotions and descriptions remind me of the first time I saw the Vatican. Europe just hits different. Rachael’s first time is coming in August (Athens to Venice Cruise) and she was just saying how she will be teary eyed a lot probably during our trip and then Lisa said something similar ❤

[@billandlisa]

Thanks guys. Please don't stop at the first Milan video, there's 3 more vlogs to watch! lol. We definitely want to see Rome (and hopefully Venice) on our next trip to Italy.

[@JoshRachael]

@@billandlisa Awesome! We have both Rome and Venice on the list for later this year, so excited. The second half of this year is all about the Mediterranean area for us!

When Bill panned over in the cathedral, it literally gave me chills!! we watched every single one of your Vlogs. They are the best on KZbin!!
