No cheese.

All of the women featured on this channel are living history. They are truly treasures. Best channel on KZbin!

[@djm4854]

I share this sentiment 1000 percent, and I know we're not the only ones. I only hope and pray they continue to document---not just for the sake of sharing their beautiful stories, culture, and cuisine, but mostly bc these women deserve to be showered w/the warmth of loving attention & caring company.

[@angelakrautman8546]

I totally agree!

[@rjcoady21]

I 100,000,000% agree. All of my grandparents died before I was 14 and my mother in 2019. I only have anecdotal recipes from them. One is from "the Italians down the street" my aunt chewed my ass when I made it for them because I didn't "brown the beef" for a dish that was going to take hours. Now that's how she makes her spaghetti sauce.

[@Tantejay]

She rejected her suitors at a time where unmarried women were pitied or frowned upon, looked at suspiciously. She's a role model. Go your way, knowing there is a price to pay but don't go a way because people are expecting you to do. I would love to hear stories from her life.

[@aaronbegg3827]

There is a saying. Take what you want, and pay for it.

[@Tantejay]

@@aaronbegg3827 People should remind that a bit more. Too many take what they want without paying up.

@Jayla, 1st of all I like your name, I have a friend named Jayla, anyway, I'm 58 & long married, but I agree with you, my comment is I would say don't settle just to get married. I have 3 sons, 2 daughters, youngest is 31, but I did not settle

[@louislandi938]

I don’t know what I’d like more....to have a meal at Rosina’s house or to hug her. As a young child I did not appreciate my Nonas. I loved them dearly but couldn’t understand how special they were. Listening to all of these beautiful women makes me want to visit Italy, home of my grandparents. God bless all of them!

[@louislandi938]

Also, the number 1 reason they didn’t/couldn’t return to Italy is because they were wanted by the police. Very true comment!

[@oxigenarian9763]

I didn't appreciate or understand what I had waiting for me with my Nonas either. Now that I am old, I feel disconnected from my Italian heritage. When they came here, they told each other to leave their European roots behind. My Polish grandparents would not even teach my Dad Polish because, as they would say, "We are Americans now, we speak English." The Sicilian side of my family was probably the same way. If they are still alive, treasure your older parents/grandparents - you will never regret hearing their tales of the old country - it is, after all, your heritage, too.

[@silverlightx6]

@@oxigenarian9763 When I asked my dad about my heritage as a child I was always told: "a bit of this, a bit of that, 100% American Mutt." Having run what genealogy I can dig up, he wasn't wrong :)

[@oxigenarian9763]

@@silverlightx6 From what I could glean or drag out of the surviving members of my family, mine was far from that and, in spite of having a clearly Polish ethnic background competing with my Sicilian side, I found out recently that I am actually 1/4 Finnish and my Grandfather from Sicily was actually from Tuscany. These findings are mixed in with strong ties to Western peoples, presumably Celtic in origin. The intrigue remains unanswered today......

[@lauracolby6038]

I’m all choked up over this sweet Pasta Grannie, Rosina. I absolutely love this series and it makes my heart swell to listen to their life stories and watch and learn to make pasta. Thank you!

[@cristinapavesi4729]

Fantastic Rosina! Such an independent strong woman! Yes, a pension of 500€ is nothing, so unfair!! Politicians should watch this channel to see how fantastic are people like Rosina and pay them an adequate pension! And for the argentinian boyfriend: his loss!

[@NinaBaby210]

It’s the smile when they applauded for me!👌🏾❤️❤️ Marriage doesn’t happen for everyone and that’s okay!!! If you can’t be happy with yourself, how could you ever think you could make someone else happy? If more people spent more time figuring out who they truly are, and what’s going to make them truly happy; there would probably be far less failed marriages! I Admire her!🙏🏾🖤✌🏾

Beautiful hands.....I love watching her roll pasta. It looks delicious and know it is! These ladies are so amazing at their age.

[@agrenibatra]

To reject suitors because they weren’t accepting of her identity or affinity to her roots, she’s not only a great pasta cook, but also a feminist icon! I mean, I am sure it must have taken a hell lot of assertiveness and personality to live on her own terms in a patriarchal society. Such a role model!
