Nonna's Natale - An Italian Christmas with Nonna Rosa

[@alessandrosalemme5482]

It makes me so proud reading all of these incredibly kind comments about my nonna! She is and always has been a beacon of our family ❤ There are so many more stories she could share, it could easily be an entire series!

[@sylviacarlson3561]

so why not do an entire series? We'd all love it!

[@italiabionda5543]

I am loving this❤❤she speaks the dialect that my parents spoke and what I remember!! I love this little lady!! Reminds me of my mamma❤❤❤

[@lindacemo8626]

Grazie for this PERFECT interview. I miss my Nonna especially today, Sunday. Nonna Rosa is so resolute to family, purpose, dedication. This is what we need. 💚🤍❤️

[@suesmith4289]

What a beautiful, wonderful grandmother, so hardworking, teaching her younger family the right ideals of family !ife, absolugely amazing, bless her, Italians have the best ideals of family life.❤❤❤

[@jenniferdavies8910]

Just super ... brava signora ! X

[@SHARYN-q9n]

grandchildren are so lucky to have this nonna! my grandparents came to the States about 1890s. But they never taught anyone Italian, customs, traditions or cooking. I know I have missed out of something special

[@annavenson3893]

A beautiful, well-spoken lady whose hard life hasn't affected her love for her family, her love of her Italian culture, her strength and her ability to pass on her knowledge of important life skills to others. So touching and memorable. Every person should have a loving Nonna Rosa in their lives. A great interview.

It’s not hard life it a life with purpose and it taught us how too survive

[@sonoflincs]

Wonderful to see…what a lovely lady…grazie

[@MSmith6503]

Why do all Italian moms/nana’s make you feel like your own. God bless you Nonna. My mom is 95 and now I do the cooking for my family, learned to love food and to cook from my mother, grandmother.

Ho guardato oggi questo bel video datato due anni fa. Spero che questa dolcissima nonna stia bene. Sono italiana e vivo da 25 anni in Germania e proprio come questa nonna casa mia rimane l’Italia anche se oramai rimarrò qui perché ho le mie figlie. Un abbraccio a questa fortissima nonnina e complimenti a sua nipote che ha imparato bene l‘italiano e passa del bel tempo insieme a lei🥰

[@mariasalemme759]

Thank you for your message. She is doing very well thank you ❤️ I am her granddaughter, and she is very proud of the family she has in the UK, whilst still keeping her Italian roots strong. She has taught me so much over the years, memories which we will always cherish! ❤️

[@jmc8076]

Oh to learn from this and other beautiful, strong Italian women of her generation and older. Such hard earned wisdom and cooking with love. Grazie

[@dinamicco853]

What a lovely lady! God Bless her and her family! Reminds me of my Nonna and my Mom. Such passion and love.

[@giuseppinadicarlo5657]

Ho trascorso la mia infanzia a Sant'Arpino e poi son venuta a Napoli mentre molti miei parenti vivono in America. Bello che hai insegnato il nostro dialetto e le nostre tradizioni ai tuoi figli

[@chuki6545]

Grazie per questa intervista con questa donna meravigliosa. Altri tempi, altri caratteri. E tanta voglia di lavorare per sbarcare il lunario.Come lei, tante tante altre persone hanno faticato tanto nella vita.....pero' la soddisfazione di questa persona che e' riuscita a tirare su una famiglia in tempi non facili, e' immensa.

[@vincenzoabbondante4392]

Grazie mille per questo bellissimo video così profondamente dolce ed intimo. My grandfather was the major of Sant'Arpino and my grandmather was born in NYC but her family was also from Sant'Arpino. Quando la Signora parla della sua vita si capiscono tutti i sacrifici fatti per amore dei suoi fratelli, dei suoi figli. Una donna straordinaria che si illumina quando parla dell'Italia. Thank you so much❤️

[@Triquetabodyworks]

I could not possibly love this interview more - thank you so VERY much for sharing your Nonna with us.!!!! She's WONDERFUL, and Blessed.!

[@mariasalemme759]

❤️❤️❤️

[@avisekhose2380]

She should be treated as a national treasure. Her ways should be preserved. Love her humility.

[@jhlfsc]

It is absolutely amazing to me that the southern Italian diaspora are virtually the same people with the same outlook on life regardless of the countries they emigrated to.

[@CAPTAINBAZOOKA-wn5by]

yes. The OLD southern Italians are a strong breed of people........because of the poverty and hard work......it made them a proud and sturdy people....and a group of people that did all they could,,,, so the next generation..... would be better than them.....

[@carlogervasi5393]

So true. I;m from Canada and my father was from Southern Italy and we are virtually the same.

[@pinapetrillo5564]

Che nonna meravigliosa ,una vera nonna Italiana ♥️

[@annastiskin9801]

Nice interview 👌 ❤

[@maddemadetv445]

wow tell her shes amazing for looking after her siblings and father it must have been so hard,God bless her with good and long life full of health,love from Africa.

[@marynicolo2198]

Bei ricordi brava questa signora molto precisa nel raccontare ❤❤❤

[@merlinstwin7373]

We traditionally enjoy short ribs for Christmas, with polenta. I love polenta as it just involves stirring, but I must say your mashed potato base looks quite inviting!

[@cor-z8m]

She lost her mom at such a young age (36) leaving 6 children and suddenly she ran the household. So dear. Brava nonna.

[@lorenzopozella3615]

My parents came from paduli in campania to uk in 52 but they both cooked mum stuck to basic beautiful Italian /campania food dad was more adventurous as he was a chef in the basgliari guard in the war miss them both try to cook traditional Italian food when can nuovo natale

[@truthfinder6246]

Oh Vicky, all of you, this is soooo good!

[@lb8141]

[@ornellabarbaro3861]

She's speaking in a Italian dialect from Napoli. Not the proper Italian but understandable. Nice old lady explain her Christmas experience.💖

[@sylviacarlson3561]

I love Nonna Rosa! When I was 8 there was an Italian lady in our neighborhood who didn't speak any English. She loved children. I remember many a time where I would wrap my arms around her ample waist and hug her. We children all loved her. Nonna Rosa is that type of lady. I hope there's more videos about her. I don't speak Italian so I put the translator on which makes it easy to know what's being asked and what her answers are. Is she still alive? This video was 3 years ago.

[@alessandrosalemme5482]

Yes, she’s still alive and kicking and still cooking us all Christmas Eve dinner and cooks for the family still whenever we go over. She hasn’t lost any of her spark! She’s turning 88 year olds on January 1st!

[@maryannlockwood7806]

[@mariasalemme759]

Thank you! My Italian is very broken, but I can completely understand my nonna. She has spoken Italian to me ever since I was little, so I am able to speak back to her! This is such a special video, that we as a family will cherish. It’s incredible to read all of the wonderful comments, and to see that this is being viewed still to this day, my nonna will be very happy to hear that her story is being told! ❤️

[@Dumbledorvsdementors]

@@mariasalemme759 Parlano italiano/napoletano anche i tuoi (genitori)? Anch’io ho imparato la lingua dai miei nonni. Non so quanti anni hai però io ne ho 21 e secondo me la maggior parte degli Italo-americani della nostra generazione non conosce bene la lingua. È un peccato e noi, che la consociamo, siamo fortunatissimi. È importante che anche la prossima generazione (dopo di noi) conosca bene l’italiano.
