LIFE IN POSITANO IS FULL OF SURPRISES! | The Positano Diaries EP 124

Life is definitely full of surprises in Positano, you never know what might happen next.
I had nothing planned but was suddenly invited to visit the www.villasangiacomo.com and film the behind the scenes of a photoshoot for the Antica Sartoria store. Even more surprisingly we got roped into dressing up and participating in the shoot as models!
Carlo flew the drone through a very tight space and then another surprise, free end of the day lemon granitas in Nocelle!
We sit down with ‪@leaw‬ and talk about what it's really like doing youtube as a job anad take a look at some of the boats in the bay. Then we say goodbye to Sara and Luca, check out there videos too from our time together!
I had another surprise when I went to buy some bread and tomatoes and found a marching band in front of the shop!

Thanks for watching the video LIFE IN POSITANO IS FULL OF SURPRISES!

[@andreasobero9596]

3 years later. I still love you Carlo speaking in Italian. Nicki you are a beautiful inspiration for a simple happy live. Always make my day brighter. Thank you.

[@annedon776]

Carlo your drone skills are AMAZING!!! Just beautiful ❤️.

[@NickiPositano]

Thanks so much 😊

[@rosannericciardella2206]

Love hearing Carlo speak in his positano/neopolitan dialect! 🥰

[@josephinebrinkman9942]

"Hello Nicki and Carlo!" Your weekly videos provided me a safe space to dream, to hope, and revive myself after teaching in seclusion for 12 months. You and Carlo are such a down to earth, real, and abslolutely pleasure to watch. Your presentation of Positano is a treasure for the city and I hope they recognize how much your videos have lifted up the world "everywhere" as your adorable husband Carlo says. I can't tell you how comforting it is to see your happy family and beautiful garden as well as your precious Holly. Please keep the videos going. Your breathtaking videos of all the places and beaches you visit were medicine for my soul. Grazie Mille. Josephine

[@tyson3577]

The dog in the pool was everything!!!

[@sarahhudleston832]

Poor Holly but so lucky to have such a loving mum. Loved the fashion shoot!

[@ginahamlyn2569]

I really love it when Carlo speaks in Italian and also in English. I find what he has to say very interesting and it adds the real Italian spirit to your videos.

[@Butterflylovely5]

My favorite part of this video was Holly, she’s so well behaved I just love 💗 her so much. 💗💗💗

[@conniehowe5421]

Yes she is adorable 💗her little legs really get a work out …

[@leaw]

We love you guys, we had such an amazing time together!! Miss you

[@NickiPositano]

Loved your video too!

[@carolinecoffey5404]

Really enjoyed meeting you on Niki Positano channel now we can enjoy your channel too x

[@prontsc]

@@NickiPositano What about the time together?

[@janicerivera5570]

I just can't imagine a Sunday without your videos. Every single one of them is a gem!

[@janetyamashige9573]

Agree!

[@scoobers3493]

Listening to the Stars and Stripes forever being played in Italy while it’s the 4th of July in the US. It doesn’t get better than that!

[@Gardis72]

Yes that was amazing....were those fireworks a celebration of our Independence Day here in the USA??

[@cherylhughes9487]

It was awesome!

[@maobfh]

The Stars and Stripes Forever, like the Star Spangled Banner were popular pieces of music and familiar to the Revolutionaries (American). The music of both songs predate the American Patriotic songs. They added patriotic words to familiar and catchy music. I don't know the previous and actual history of the tune used to write The Stars and Stripes Forever but the Star Spangled Banner was written to the tune of God Save The King. Somewhat ironic, but I think it might have been intentional so that the settlers were standing in tribute with the same song as before, but now it had changed be relevant to the new situation. The celebration was on July 2nd and that were celebrating the hole in the mountain. Because it is a cause for celebration, I would love it if Nicki gave us some additional insight into the hole. She and Carlos took us up to see it, several videos back, but i don't remember the story behind it. I mean this kindly, and know that i am also American, but one of the biggest faults of ours is the presumption that the world revolves around us. While a LOT of Italians migrated to America and a LOT of Americans are currently moving to Italy, and I believe the people of both nations have a lot of love and respect for each other, POLITICALLY we have often been on opposing sides. There may come a day when Italy celebrates America and a day when America celebrates Italy, but those days have not yet come. It had absolutely nothing to do with us. Just saying.

[@joannakennedy6005]

@@Gardis72 Nice try Americans!

[@lotuscabrio2937]

@@maobfh Not really, there are many italians who do not have respect to Americans or the nation itself. I don t think you can say we have love and respect to eachother. Whether we from italia, islands or north africa, they do exist.

[@mannuraven2157]

i love the doggy swimming in the pool- a dog who loves to go in by itself - so sweet

[@roseannmonaco2981]

It was so nice to see Luca and Sara from Leave Everything and Wonder in this video!!!

[@robertmahler8894]

This panel of discussion is very informative! I fully understand how involved and difficult your work is, but you make so many people very happy.

[@anitabislandgirl9248]

Now I've got HELLO EVERYWHERE and HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE Nicki and Carlo, Sarah and Luca how nice it is to watch you all😊😊💕💕

[@hnoodles5165]

Just breathtaking!! Like your new intro including Carlo.

[@9kevkav]

That villa is straight out of the 50s , expecting Cary Grant to walk past. Great vid Nicki thankyou everywhere

[@porpoisethepug8230]

That drone shot through the bell tower was amazing ☀️

[@raymondbarry4196]

I have really enjoyed your collaboration with Sara and Luca, It is nice having another channel to follow. I would think the hardest part of being a KZbinr would be all of the editing and narrating, I have tried it and have such a much higher appreciation for those who do it well such as yourself. The Villa was beautiful, I loved that they took a preservationist approach to restoring the Villa. Thank you for yet another lovely Sunday escape.

[@clivetaylor27]

Who threaded the bell tower? - ace. Just can't praise your work enough, it has everything and just blends into a cacophony of stunning moments. Like the Beatle's, George Martin Wall of Sound, the impact of your work exhilarates every sense. I hope you do more with Luca and Sara, together you bring out the absolute best in each other and in life in Amalfi. A treasure. There are hidden depths stirring in Carlo's stories, maybe give him his own episode if he ever has inclination.

[@igna83]

I was thinking the same thing! I was like, GO CARLO!!! (Or whomever it was.) I also LOVED Carlo's segment of shopping for household necessities.

[@ar.654_3]

Those drone shots are epic. So carlo just spied on what's going on that beautiful yatch😀😀😀

[@Leila2023_]

i think the same, that drone is amazing high quality...

[@jacquelinebracero9171]

Love it ! Too

[@Gardis72]

The night time shot was especially spectacular!

[@SamFournier]

Those drinks looked so refreshing, and the size of those lemons were huge. It’s so true how KZbin can sometime take away from being in the moment because you’re constantly thinking of different shots but it’s so worth it to share the beauty life has to offer with the rest of the world. Thank you for sharing weekly videos guys!

[@AvaT42]

That was a lovely thing to say Sam, ‘share the beauty with the rest of the world’. That is exactly what Nicki does.

[@lindagallaher5814]

Holly is a sweet dog. My dogs get scared too, of fireworks. Thanks for your videos. I subscribed about two months ago. Beautiful scenery.

[@relaxedrelaxed]

What else is there to watch that is more charming? Nothing! Thank you for another smiling-from-one-ear-to-the-other episode! XOXO Helloooo Everywhere!

[@annieirwin6063]

Nikki, thank you so much for all your videos! I found you during lockdown, and have enjoyed being whisked away to the Amalfi coast every week since. Spending a few minutes with you and your family is something I now look forward to, and it makes my week more exciting. Just wanted you and Carlo to know I appreciate all your work, and your candor, every week. Grazie mille

[@aliddlebird]

I would love to have Carlo talk my ear off! Do not break his ball! 🤣

[@mopanimickey1591]

That was an enjoyable colab with Sara and Luca. 👍😎

[@maryoesterborg9397]

Delightful in every way. Thanks for all you present to us. You and Carlo are greatly appreciated.

[@mrinmoyeee5979]

I never get tired of watching your videos ! ❤️

[@LunaGuinevereStudio]

Omgee Holli I love you sooo much! You make me so happy! Please protect her all the time she's so precious. Thank you for the video Nicki and Carlo!

[@dazereigh]

Carlos is so right. If you don’t like something, move on, no need to tell others you don’t like it, just don’t watch and don’t spoil it for those creating or watching. We are so lucky to have people like you all who can get in front of a camera and talk and have fun and bring us along, I could not do it and I’m so damn grateful that you and others can. I heard / read a saying once, cannot remember where or when, ‘your opinion of me is none of my business’, so don’t tell me about it LOL. Thank you all for creating and entertaining me, I really appreciate the courage, time and effort it MUST take. I wish you all at least 1million subs and many sponsorships 😁

[@susannortham11.11]

Enjoyed this little series. The villa was amazing!

[@supriyabarsode8039]

The question session on the swing bed with sara and luca was very good and a sad goodbye to friends. The drone footage through the church bell tower space was superb kudos to carlo's expertise. Love your shopping videos seeing the aisles ,holly is such a good girl sitting outside waiting patiently for you and jumping into your lap with the firecrackers. ❤️

[@Tofog22000]

Magnificent villa, views and video! The dog swimming laps was hilarious, wasn't expecting that!

[@JohnJones-cp4wh]

He was jealous of the lawn mower.

[@clarehart5892]

There were so many things to love about this video. That dog swimming laps during the beginning of the video, your beautiful outfits, the interior of that castle, the spectacular views, Holly's everlasting smile, the conversation .. and then those fireworks! Thank you.

[@henrymerritt6703]

Amazing how comfortable I feel after watching your life there.

[@shirleyski6147]

Oh and the dresses in the shoot by the hotel was great - beautiful dresses and that dog swimming when he wanted to!!!! 👍

Oh little Holly...my boy Murphy is scared of fireworks too! My goodness your fireworks are much louder than what I hear in my neighborhood! Such a great video! Very welcoming and friendly. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@cagarden8808]

Thank you Nicki and Carlo! Love your breathtaking scenic videography and drone footage of Positano. What a wonderful treat to see the fashion photo shoot at your friend’s spectacular villa. We’re hoping for clear skies during the 4th of July fireworks in San Francisco this evening. Holly is so lucky to have such a loving home! Families in the US will also be hugging their precious dogs during the loud celebrations tonight! 🐕🎆🐶

I really enjoyed the video, the clothes being modelled were beautiful.

[@susanmorgan995]

Fabulous as usual Nicki & Carlo. You two couples show a perspective of each other that is lovely, fun, very interesting, entertaining. It is wonderful to watch both videos and put the pieces together. Well done! Thank you for sharing your lives! Of course you know you have a world of family out here now who love you and are grateful for your videos!

So sad to see Luca & Sarah go 😢 All the videos have been lovely. Thanks for introducing us to their channel ❤️

[@maryannevolpato9780]

Love it! Summertime in Italy is the best! ❤️

[@maxineot5652]

My husband and I stayed in Positano September 2019, coincidently when the Festival of Fish was on down at the beach. It was absolutely fantastic. So fun and food was lovely and so cheap, live music by an Australian lady singer…..so funny as we are Australian. Such an unexpected surprise. We loved every minute of our stay, even all the steps!!! I had been wanting to go to Positano ever since I watched the beautiful film “Only You” in 1994 and finally made it, and just before Covid, so so very lucky. I don’t think I would go in the peak of summer as it appears to be overly crowded due to it’s popularity. I love your videos. I can’t believe I have only just discovered them. I’ve been binge watching and smiling a lot! Thank you so much.

[@priscillachapman9145]

I love that little blond dog. Her eyes are so expressive and sweet❤

[@TheresAGirlInTheGardens]

That dog doing laps in the pool! 😂😂😍😍 what a moment. He owns the place, clearly! 🎩

[@paulasuttie7159]

Oh my how stunning is that palazzo...and the dog swimming 😀 I love that dress you are modeling on the chairs do by the pool ..gorgeous. Thanks again for our weekly dose of Positano. ❤️🇮🇹

[@diannedutton6127]

Thanks Nicki, enjoyed seeing you and Carlo and Holly.

[@daisyri]

Carlo. If nicki reads this comment to you I just want to say that we all love you and love listening to you in Italian and even in your broken English. I’m sure most of Niki subscribers would love having more of you. You are a beautiful soul and your partner is very much lucky to have you. Please keep talking and telling us whatever you want to say.

Really enjoying Carlo's content and it's always nice to hear him speaking Italian. Thanks so much for sharing your lives and your artistry! ❤

[@sallyroddy6566]

thank you Nicki and Carlo for another spectacular video! I live in Buenos Aires and it has a lot of Italian influence because of two massive waves of Italian immigrants. Looking at those beautiful buildings and tiles etc reminds me of here. Love and light to you all. xx

[@laurawilliams5363]

Little Holly is such a special dog! I had one like her, his name was "Sparky". He went everywhere with me like your Holly does. Your videos are such fun to watch and I learn a lot about your Positano. The drone work is awesome, thank you Carlo. Thanks for sharing your area and yourselves with all of us!

[@ciaomissy]

The dog is a great swimmer!

[@martinethevenau69]

The villa was exquisite. I cannot stand fireworks. Hope Holly wasn't too stressed.

[@always.wondering.wandering]

Poor Holly, we are going through the same thing here today with fireworks for our 4th of July. Thank goodness my little dog is hard of hearing now, he is 16. That was a really lovely photo shoot, loved the outfits and scenery. So glad you had a nice visit with Sara and Luca, really enjoyed the videos of all of you together. Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful week ahead. Ciao
