A full fridge, a cozy home, planting trees and following your passion - exquisite! What more?

[@MrLeifyGreenz]

this is like a tasteful version of MTV cribs.

[@sorayah248]

YES! Lol

[@greencagar1355]

This old gentleman has a deep and clear taste of his style. Simple yet sophisticated.

[@jolewis9919]

How totally beautiful..

[@joannabusinessaccount7293]

I love how he lies around on his sofa.

[@huub1989]

Me too.......I need that couch!

[@liangmz8637]

That's the most comfortable couch I've ever seen

[@jbt6007]

This is how I always wanted to live ........... life is but a dream.

[@DizzyCsango]

And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by The transient pleasures as a vision seem, And yet we think the greatest pain's to die...

[@StutiRajguru]

@@DizzyCsango beautiful❤️

[@kostinino]

I am impressed with Massimo's english and perfect pronunciation. Bravo Max!!

[@ruthchelimo6751]

Wow. His home is one of a kind. So much history there.

[@RamblinAround]

What an amazing place, love everything about it. Very interesting that he chooses not to hang any photographs.

[@lauraeiriarte]

I'm a photographer and don't have any. I love empty walls ! I have books which I see every now and then but nothing on the walls. it's like having a clear mind

[@lauraeiriarte]

@Malachi Otis lol

[@belchxx]

@@lauraeiriarte same here , and I also am the one that believe the best picture is the one I'll take next time :D

[@javiermiguel6241]

You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

[@suttonquinton8829]

@Javier Miguel Instablaster =)

[@Fjalll]

What a healthy attitude

[@ignatiusguidosimbolon3757]

I love the way you protect everything about the history.

[@PDogB]

What a fabulous video. I agree with Jerome khan, would love to see more of this! My life was seeming too large today. To see this reminds me there are so many interesting people and places, and to not to dwell in my tiny head. Instead look out, way out, into other countries even. See how we are all the same, yet different. The magical places where some may live or they may visit. Thank you for sharing this one!

[@JamesGWall]

Great looking place and he seems like a top dude.

[@giulianunciato8720]

Nossa (suspiros)..., como eu amo esta casa... 🖤

[@bErKcorner]

should add this to the list of videos I watch on down mood

[@bobgreen2460]

A man at peace with himself. We can all do it. I love this property, it’s being treated with respect

[@alvaroa.fuentes9064]

That Mussolini poster reminded me of all these starbucks girls that have some positive motivational poster on their wall

[@alekjovanovski3087]

Briliant!

[@sofibravo2211]

men also like starbucks, and motivational quotes! 😉

[@leobuckey]

Mussolini doesn’t typically fit the inspirational category haha

[@marisaherrero5844]

¡¡¡Woooaw!!.. me encanta el gusto italiano.. siempre va de la conservación a la huella propia... MUCHO ESTILO.

[@worldofvalentine]

Oh, to be in your 70s finding a life's worth of contentment. Beautiful!

[@a_f_anabela]

Bellissimo posto💓

[@suneetaization]

I love this.... Specially the sofa.. 🙂

[@helenkierce4697]

Inspirational. An individual who pursued his unique vision and preferences for his home without giving in to the usual cookie cutter ideas about furnishing and decorating.

[@steveraglin7607]

I laughed out last at 2:10, when multiple views of him are composited together. Very effective!

[@marquamfurniture]

Great moment. So well done!

[@christiannamos]

"I decided to leave it, although it's not my cup of tea".... there's some kind of wisdom here, isn't there? Such an interesting personality.

[@jamaicamocha6027]

Love!

[@susancorgi]

[@DannyMercer1993]

I wish I loved anything like this man loves his sofa

[@superrmrcool]

why only 4 minutes?? it should have been longer

[@window741]

It should be one movie about his life.

[@walz9863]

such a good choice to show the lemon scene.

[@BrandausBlog]

What an inspirational way to live!
