Thanks for watching the video He had to leave Tuscany for now

[@marieleelee]

One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned growing up is having to watch your parents get older and struggle more and it’s so important to be there for them when they need your support. ❤

[@bartonone2005]

Yes, it's heartbreaking and the hardest part for me was stepping into the role reversal. It devastated me when I had to be the "parent." It was terribly sad. I'm not complaining, it was a low blow seeing them decline and lose their independence. Chuck in Northern New England

[@gailnel8812]

Such a pity 😢😢😢that so many children don't bother with their aging parents anymore & just don't bother to. Communicate or visit - - - I am 1 of those single parents who has been left & forgotten 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@francescaratozzolo8170]

Love the video nicki .. we were the same with our parents , no homes , we looked after them . Carlo is amazing what a beautiful family you have. 🎉 love you heaps ,till next weekxxx

[@RuthAnnnMorris]

My mom just turned 94 and my sister has to take care of her. Her mind has slipped away and I can’t help her. I’m in a wheelchair and can’t be there. It’s hard on me and I’m worried about her not remembering me! So far that hasn’t happened. My sister is struggling with her! 😢mom wants to die in her home and will not even go outside anymore.

[@denisemahood9162]

"If Nicki is my love, Positano is my lover". Beautiful words. You are a lucky fella.

[@nl2930]

Five things that stood out: 1)Carlos’ goodness 2)Nickies patience with negative comments 3)the dumb kitchen idea in that other room (which probably came from someone that hardly uses a kitchen) 4)the judgmental comment about your cat (ignore it, people are mean jerks) 5)the amazing food market which puts anything in the states to shame I wish I could meet you both one day….just lovely, down to earth people Thank you.

[@moniquemcdonald9174]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CarlaStahl-bc7ou]

I could not agree more!

[@joanannewallace]

You both look happy and healthy, as well as the dogs since moving. It's a lovely house and area. It's great to see beautiful Positano, but the steep hills and steps would drive me crazy. I hope Carlo's dad is better and home soon.

[@loboblue5441]

I agree with all these diagnosis

[@tinaryan4917]

Agreee!!!❤

[@Haupialani]

You can take Carlo out of Positano but you can never take the Positano out of Carlo. Glad he and his family are taking care of Dad.

[@AliBaba-ke5jn]

I can't imagine Carlo not living in Positano. It's where he grew up.

[@maryreynolds8398]

But he said he likes change..and thats good!😊

[@Elizerinc]

Carlo is speaking very well in English!

[@1965tjmet]

Great video. Carlos English is really improving. How did Carlos father get up/down the steps to go to the hospital? I am so glad he is recovering well. X

[@AliBaba-ke5jn]

Seems vlogging has improved his English.

[@shannoncook9915]

I LOVE the way Italian families unite along with their communities when they need help. This is what us in the US are missing greatly!

[@AncoraImparo12387]

That is because Nursing or (Nursing) care is not standard. If your family does not do it you must pay, as Carlo said. This is the case in most non-English speaking countries in the world. Nordic countries are different. Yes I have lived/worked in Italy and many non-speaking English countries so I speak with experience. Many Americans moving to Europe etc don't seem to know this but should.

[@Mamakate2382]

As I mentioned in a previous comment, this is one of the things I love about Italy, the love and care Italians give to family and neighbors. Although nursing care is standard here in the US, it is still a good idea for family members (or close friends) to be available and/or spend as much time as possible with the patient, something my family and past generations always did. If you’ve ever been in a hospital you will know that nurses cannot always come to your aid right away when called and it is not unheard of to sometimes receive the wrong meds or to see to it that the patient takes the meds. A family member present is always a good idea when at all possible and when allowed.

[@kathyjones1611]

Hmmm. I live in the US:- Western NC mountains to be exact, and I must say your comment about the US surprised me. The people that live near me are wonderful. They are like family and are always helping each other out. Even though most of my family , which is huge, lives on the coast , we are in constant contact and are very devoted to each other. I've lived in many parts of the US over the course of my life, and this has always been the case. I have found that community starts with you. It takes effort, but is worth it and it is so enriching!

[@mircat28]

The US does that, it is not a missing behavior. One town was just in the news they expected 50 people to come and thousands came! We have 300 million people, there is kindness and caring!

[@poponachtschnecke]

😂 I laughed out loud when you said the tortoises had been left in place of all the house parts they took! 😂🤣

[@lidijabirsa7768]

Engl.good humor 😂, love it! 🤣

[@melodicewingm2292]

I didn’t realize how much I missed Positano!! Well wishes to Carlo’s father.

[@samanthab1923]

It was a nice treat to see the water ❤

[@patriciathompson350]

Please extend my good wishes for good health to Carlos dad and hugs for his mam and family too. You live in to if my favourite places in Italy. Love the driftwood and looking forward to see what you make with it. Oh and really loved the market too. ❤❤

[@mircat28]

Don’t miss it in the least. My interest and excitement transferred quite easily to a brand new environment and all that goes with it. She could use her motorcycle though!!

[@kathrynturner8271]

Best wishes to Carlo's Papa for a speedy recovery. 🙏

[@tonymuniz1062]

Taking a blind Kitty out of a familiar environment, would have been terribly cruel and stressful for the cat. I feel that you absolutely did the right thing leaving him in Positano. And by the way carlo, your English has become amazing! I am so proud of you. I remember 5 years ago you hardly spoke english, and now you are doing so good. It's a very hard language to learn, so again, I am very proud of you

[@clairedesrosiers7398]

Not very hard, one of the most simple one’s! 😊

[@gabschasse600]

I had a blind cat .The vet suggested never to rearrange, the furniture too often .Often he,would run into things,- which was,both sad....and funny .

[@flibbertygibbette]

​@@clairedesrosiers7398 The basics of English grammar and vocabulary are relatively simple to learn, namely for people who are native speakers of Germanic languages (like German, Dutch, any of the Scandinavian languages) or Latin-based languages (like French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian). But actual fluency in English is really, really difficult for non-native speakers because there are so many conflicting rules about grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, etc. English has such a mash-up of influences, it's not at all easy to master and takes a lot of practice, willingness to make mistakes, etc. Germanic language speakers often have an edge because English is at its root a Germanic language, and the underlying grammatical rules and pronunciation can be more similar. The Latin influences (specifically from Norman rule of England for a couple hundred years, and French being the official language of England for about three centuries) bridges some gaps with Latinate languages, but there are more significant differences. (Apologies for the lengthy sidebar about this, I just love nerding out about language 😆 )

[@bbcarbo9251]

Right

[@camicri4263]

I agree!

[@Tsili-Walela]

A speedy recovery to Carlo’s father. Refreshing to see beautiful Positano for a few minutes. I am an ocean girl!

[@elyjane8316]

Me too

[@ceeg5098]

When Carlo said “If Nicky is my love, Positano is my lover” I felt it in my soul.

[@judyfudge2458]

I took care of my father alone for 12 years after taking care of my mother before she passed and I'll never regret doing it. It was the best and worst years of my life. Absolutely love watching your videos !

[@tessakhalil6686]

Yes me too bless them no regrets at all we had some laughs and a few tears but mostly lots of love and plenty of learning curves x a loving family is worth its weight in gold. In England we used to take care of our older ones they were very much valued for their wisdom and stories of the old times. I’m so glad I have this kind of family, so nice to see it’s still the norm in Italy isn’t it? Xxx

[@critterkarma]

Me three, as hard as it was, I am so happy I was able to care for both of parents in their final years.

[@pamelasprings6723]

That is so wonderful you did that. I am oldest of 6 and my middle brother lived with my parents for most of his life. When Dad had a stroke he helped Mom take care of him for eight years. He drove them everywhere they needed to go. Then he lived and took care of Mom until she passed two years ago at 96. He was there for them when the rest of us raised our families and were able to make our careers work. Now he has terminal cancer and on SSI. I have been helping him out with money the last two years even though I am only on social security. I appreciate all he did for them. We lost two siblings in the last ten years.

[@rhondazerbi9957]

Dear Nikki and Carlo, I have followed your Chanel for ages. You are living the dream! Tuscany and Positano are so beautiful. I am an Australian woman married to an Italian man for over 35 years. My husband’s dad migrated here to Melbourne in the 50’s and married his wonderful and resilient wife by proxy. They had 5 children. The family connection with Italian families is incredibly strong. My mother in law died about 10 years ago but my father in law is 96, still lives independently and does the garden and cooks pasta for the family every week! All the children (now in their 50’s and 60’s) visit their father regularly. It is such an important aspect of the Italian culture. There are now many grandchildren and great grandchildren who love and respect their nonno. Best wishes to Carlo’s parents, I hope his dad recovers soon. Best wishes, Rhonda from Melbourne, Australia

[@anothercheryladventure9387]

The more Carlo speaks English, the more I Love ❤ it. It just gets better and better ❤❤❤

[@melodeeplath8002]

Good call about the blind kitty ❤ It was very thoughtful to understand how a new environment would upset him.... Bless him.

[@barbaraconnolly9000]

[@EMSpdx]

Not gonna lie, am surprised the former owners didn't pack up the garden fencing 😂! But seriously, love and blessings to Carlos' father, and thank you to Carlos for talking about realities of aging in a hillside town.❤

[@kerrywhimsey2061]

Two beautiful homes that feed the soul.

[@ctgctg1]

Supporting your dad and mom through your dad’s recent hospitalization is so good.❤ My mom is 96 and I can relate to the challenges with stairs and mobility. I am so grateful she lives with me. Although it can be challenging to work full time and looking after my mom, I would not change this. My mom has been my only parent, had me later in life and she helped look after my children when they were young and it seems fitting that we all do the same. It’s not that common in North America. I think it’s so great that Nicki’s dad at 90 is so mobile and well. It must give her a lot of peace of mind.

[@kimm3473]

Lots of love to Carlos’ father. ❤ Wishing him a speedy recovery.

[@christineadkins4058]

Carlo, I wish your father good.health after his surgery. I love exploring the different sites and markets. Always look forward to your videos.

[@mompears]

i was grinning from ear to ear as Carlo was enjoying his bread, butter, and jam dipped in his cappuccino. We all enjoy our own guilty pleasures. Thank you Nicki for including this delightful clip. I look forward to next weeks video showing all the removing and rearranging you and girls got up to. Have a great week and continued prayers for Carlo's papa.

[@NeighborofKT]

I have recently started watching your wonderful videos, and I just want to say that you seem like a very nice, and capable couple. It bothers me that some of your commenters doubt your ability to care for your animals. I think you're terrific!

[@thedivide3688]

It’s been this way for years. It is very bizarre. They got Indie and people got all up in arms that they were replacing Holly. There is a subset of “viewer” that seem out to bad mouth them no matter how wonderful they are. It’s social media I hope Nicki and Carlo don’t take it to heart. Stalkers come in all flavors of insanity.

[@maureenfoley4656]

I am currently working my way through the old videos while keeping up with the new ones. I feel Nikki and Carlo seem to spend a lot of time justifying so many little things. The animals are obviously well cared for and it does irk me that people can be so judgmental. Wishing a speedy recovery to Carlo's Dad

Livorno was one of the towns we visited when we were in Italy 10 years ago. It was around end July. They had some big festival on, the whole town was lively and we spent a lovely evening there. It was so fantastic. No one could speak English but it didn't bother us 😅

Why should they?

[@sallyannc3176]

@@lenoxlenox9447 most countries in Europe have English as their second language. People tend to move around a lot in Europe for work/study etc - they often want to do these things in the US too, so having English is very useful to them.

My mom, Sophia Julia passed away in May of 2000 and my father James Bernardo, in Feb. '94. I still miss them everyday. I'm glad that Carlo shared his feelings about Positiano and his love of the sea. I don't understand people's questions about the things you felt the need to answer! I think you and Carlo are too nice! I wouldn't worry about what other people think so much, I really thought that was crazy that someone would assume you abandoned your cat! WTH!? I like the new 4 wheeler! Sweet! You're going to fall in love with that new ride! Have a great week and I hope and pray that Carlo's Father gets well soon. 🙏 Ciao

You did a very wise thing to buy your lovely new home in Tuscany. Life will be more fun, more of a community, and considerably easier. I love that the beach is less than an hour drive away. There’s more variety of all kinds there too, evidenced by the food. Be careful for all those carbs... Also the tick collars can cause cancer, there is a liquid flea and tick killer/repellant that works great and is safer. (Advantage and Advantix) It gets placed on their skin directly between their shoulder blades (not on the spine but near the neck) and it circulates around the whole dog but it doesn’t pass through their digestive track. This product is safer than many of the others although even with my dog I don’t put it on her in the winter. And I try to make it last as long as possible sometimes six weeks or more in between applications and it still provides coverage. But you would not want to use more than one thing because it’s too much exposure to cancer-causing pesticides.

That’s a great day trip for them ❤

You're right--Advantage is safer. I started using it after some research. The great thing is---it circulates in the skin and doesn't have any contact with the nervous system. Many of the flea/tick products do effect the nervous system, and have caused severe seizures, even death.

Hope Carlo's father gets well soon and is able to go home. I like the picture of the five brothers. Thank you for the update on Itty Bitty Kitty. The bedroom with the new shelf looks very charming.

I'm with you Carlo, I love Positano and coastal living! It's the best!

[@lena-roseorlando219]

Nice compilation of various sites. Loved the market, your answers to questions, and seeing Carlo back in Positano. Agree you don’t want your kitchen in the back room separated from everyone. Enjoy….seeing you next week.

You did a wonderful job of “weaving” the videos together as you mentioned at the beginning. I loved it as I do everything you film. Wishing Carlo’s father a speedy recovery. ❤

Supporting your dad and mom through your dad’s recent hospitalization is so important to them. I looked after my dad after my mom died. Two years later he started to get dementia and he broke his hip and landed up in a home. It was the hardest time for me watching him going everyday and then also go to my mom and dads home and clean it still while he no longer lived there and visiting the house when he died and I had to pack up everything was a bittersweet moment for me. I think in the end he knew I was with him, I always spoke to him and talked about the old days etc etc and he would smile. Carlos I applaud you and your family for looking after your parents with the love and dedication you all have as a close knit family. I wish your dad a speedy recovery and your mom will be so happy when he is home again, she must miss him dearly.

Wishing Carlo's dad a complete recovery! It's wonderful that the sons are so dedicated to taking care of their parents! Nicki, you have your parents' talent in cinematography! We really enjoy spending Sunday mornings with the two of you. Have a wonderful week! We're sending good wishes from southern Arizona!

Lovely to see Carlo and his brothers gathering around his father. Wishing him a quick recovery and good health. I love the update on Itty Bitty Kitty and Carlo's impersonations. Kitty's eyes are so luminous, that he looks like a magical cat. Your new area looks amazing, full of interesting features not found in Positano. Can't wait to see what you girls have been up to. Have a great week everyone. Cheers, Muffy from Oz.
