[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thanks so much. I hope you enjoy the channel.

[@nelsonhiltner4368]

Thank you for these! I heard you are from western PA thats where my family lives! I am in LA with my partner and we are looking at moving to Italy and getting outta here. All your videos are of great help. We have been to Italy four times last year and back again this April

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

You are so welcome! Let us know if you have any questions.

[@faithrada]

Oh my goodness.. your home is totally charming... and such history. What great good fortune to be there. 🍷 🥂 🫒 🧀

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you so much! We appreciate it.

[@tici536]

Beautiful! And a hot tub! Summer will be here soon❤

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you and we can't wait!

[@BryanSpellman]

HEY you mentioned my question :) THANKS!!!!!! I am here because of CNN article but have binged your entire catalog. Fantastic stuff :)

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@CarolH-0617]

I love how you've stayed true to the original architecture! I follow several IGers that have renovated homes in Italy that are gorgeous & modern but it's just not the same 🥰

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

So true! Thank you. We are very happy with our choices so far. Next project is renovating the old house into a rustic big farm kitchen. Finger's crossed.

[@terradisiena]

Hi! I'm among those who subscribed after reading the article. I admire your commitment, enthusiasm and positive attitude in taking on this adventure and wish you the very best as it continues. Lovely video too.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Wow, thank you!

[@damonoriente736]

Thanks for this excellent and extensive tour or your house and garden. Fabulous renovations so far, and the next work should be equally great. I remember the views to mountains to the west; it is so nice to see that again. It will be spectacular from the new kitchen.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much.

[@margaretbroadbent8654]

I have enjoyed watching your videos. All have been informative, fun and a look at real life in Italy. Wonderful home you two have created.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@deirdreoleary6456]

loved the article on cnn and am loving your channel!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Yay, thank you!

[@willycarle3088]

For your roof , we do the same thing here in Provence, France with the Mistral, a very strong and powerful wind, we add stones to the tiles, but never cement them cause the house needs to breath, plus the cement tend to break them. Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

That makes total sense. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain. I haven't found anyone to explain that to me.

[@PaulaJTichenor-Wheeler-j4m]

OMG … Just Today, I FINALLY Found You Guys After 30 + Years !!! And, In ITALY !!! I Am So Excited !!! Years Have Passed All Too Fast Since Forest Hill Road !!! We Have Missed Our Great Neighbors !!! Your New Italian Property Is Awesome !!! Love To You Both !!! We Must Contact Each Soon !!!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Paula!!!! We also tried to find you and Mark over the years but no success. We still talk about you guys and everytime we see a small dog, we turn to each other and say Beauzette! I'm so glad you found us. email us your personal info at [e-mail]. And I'll send you our numbers. Love to you both.

[@NancysBungalowLife]

Excellent tour. You have a wonderful property and are making some great changes. I applaud you for working through all of the renovations successfully. We have a holiday home across the way in Abruzzo and have not been able to accomplish much yet, so I am envious of your progress!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you so much! You will get there. We were lucky to find our mason through Ben's cousin. He had been great for us.

[@stephaniemilano3525]

Fabulous, thank you for showing us your beautiful home. Just found you today and I’m gonna watch a lot more . My husband and I are hoping to buy in Abruzzo ❤ You are living the dream.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Awesome! Thank you! Abruzzo is beautiful also. We are so happy we did it. Thanks for watching, more to come.

[@shannonhager9999]

Amazing floor-I'm jealous!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thanks!

[@PietroItalianoo]

We would like to say “We may not comment on everyone of your videos. And would like you two to know. We are enjoying each of them. And thank you for sharing”! Looking forward to seeing many more. Bless you both🙏

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you so much 😁 We really appreciate the comment. It helps us know that people are interested.

[@maureenfritsch3632]

Hi guys. I just found your channel today. It came up in my feed. New subscriber here from Australia who would one day love to move to Italy. Love your home and garden. Just stunning. Look forward to more but now I have to watch the rest of your videos

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thanks and welcome! We hope you like the rest of the videos. Enjoy

[@stevesteve350]

OMG! YOU are hanging clothes out to dry on a clothes line??!! I'm running straight to Joan Collins to let her know! LOL! Holy cow! So excited for you both! Your place is AMAZING!! Absolutely gorgeous! Didn't realize you had a KZbin channel until the CNN thing. Yay! So glad to be able to check in on you both. Love & congratulations to you & Ben! 💚💙

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

I'm so glad you found the channel. Miss you.

[@claudettep212]

It’s nice to have fresh air & sun to dry clothes but the sun is brutal “bleaching” out the dye in fabrics.

[@damiendoyle9948]

Both of you have done a great job. I’ve followed from the start of your project ( with a modicum of envy) and I’m looking forward to more progress. Ciao!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Awesome, thank you!

[@nikrodriguez7196]

It’s wonderful to watch you LIVE your life and enjoy it. ❤ Congrats to you both and Max of course

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you

[@janinecorletta1737]

Magnificent!!! Couldn’t be more proud of both of you for holding true to your dream of Italy, toughing out the difficult bits, and creating and becoming one with what is truly a spectacular home. So proud and happy for you. I cannot wait to visit, I miss you both but these videos bring so much joy. 😃💛

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you so much!!

My wife and I just returned from Vinchiaturo in Oct 2023. My great great nonna was born there in 1876 and grew up and married in 1903. She lived at 46 via Borgo. Today the property is a 2 story with no roof, just the side door entry with steps. When looking out the front of her place, just to the left looking toward the hillside, there is a small black lion headed fountain that was used by the community for water. Wondering if you know where this property is and we'd like to know how far you are from this point. We're so excited to have found your KZbin and it brought back many memories!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Hi, I'm so glad you found our channel. That is our street. Ben's grandfather was born at 29 Via Borgo. I think that house is where the fountain is that you are talking about. We are at the other end of the street at the beginning.

[@alexhatcher8812]

the Happycasa table!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Yes! Thanks for noticing.

[@sannefridolin]

What a mogic little world you have there, the perfect creative playground to build your dreams!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

It really is, thank you so much.

[@claudettep212]

Hello from Ontario Canada. I discovered your story on a CTV article that came from CNN. I’m sure you’ll get a lot more Canadian subscribers. I am anxious to start watching from the beginning on your new life in Italy. You did a fabulous job recording this video - slow and easy to follow the layout of the land. I find it interesting that you own the land behind your neighbours house and it seems they don’t have a garden area? Congratulations on your move and I look forward to learning more about you both and this region.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thanks for watching and subscribing. So the neighbor told us that his father traded their property for a piece of prosciutto. Not sure if that is true but it's a good story and very Italian.

[@claudettep212]

Haha! What a deal!

[@Dr-Red-Duke]

Hi, just subscribed and watched 1st 10 minutes. I would think the rocks, particularly on the edges, are to keep snow and ice from sliding off the roofs when you close a door hard. It can be dangerous! Love your channel, guys !

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thanks for subscribing. Glad you like our channel.

[@granttisdall]

Congrats on the article. Very happy for you. We were the first viewer this time so enjoying the recap and seeing all that you have accomplished this last year!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you so much!

[@KevinLindaSkinner]

Absolutely spectacular! What a beautiful transformation! God bless you both ❤️❤️

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you so much!

[@josephburgio9843]

Hello, can you give us the link to the CNN or the title on the CNN show...thanks

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Yes, of course. Thanks for reminding me. I'm also going to add it to our profile. edition.cnn.com/2024/01/22/travel/this-us-couple-bought-a-home-in-the-forgotten-region-of-italy-heres-what-happened-next/index.html

[@josephburgio9843]

Wow!!!. I watched the CNN article and it was amazing!!!.. you both made me feel that I should just get up and go!!!...to Siciliy...I was born there and came to Canada when I was 12 years old and my heart still pulls me to go back and retire there!!..we have been to Italy numerous times and still love it!!

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thanks so much. @@josephburgio9843

[@antoniopecora9837]

Your video is truly inspiring, and it's incredible to see you both living your dreams in Italy. I came across your story on CNN, and it resonated with me. I'm considering a similar path upon retirement, but obtaining Italian or EU citizenship has proven challenging. The Italian embassy in Canada suspended the program due to a high volume of applicants. Did you seek assistance from someone in Italy during your application process? I'm exploring options and would appreciate any guidance you can offer.

[@ouritalianadventures6190]

Thank you so much. I would say it's better to work with an Italian law firm specializing in citizenship. It is faster than doing an embassy but you will need to come to Italian for 3 weeks at the end. We used this firm below. I hope the link works. www.studiolegalemetta.com/?fbclid=IwAR3NIPaqKvs4zvp97_aCVwjaneJIi6hqe3zqppZWwQx45rur3HFeoHx5t8I It was worth the money and they speak English as well as Italian. Let me know if we can help in anyway or any other questions.

[@antoniopecora9837]

@@ouritalianadventures6190 thank you so much for the advice. I will definitely reach out to them. Looking forward to seeing your future videos as you settle in to this new chapter of life in Italy.
