Summer in Puglia 😍 Pane Pugliese and burrata with tomatoes and basil every single day- breakfast, lunch and dinner. Scorching sun, cool turquoise waters and prickly rock beaches that tear the bum out of your swimsuits 😂 There is no better place for Summer this side of heaven. 🙄😘❤️

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

ah I couldn't agree more, thank you for summing it up so beautifully Helane :)

[@silviaquaggiotto4907]

Le orecchiette con le cime di rapa sono semplicemente deliziose!

I am So happy you get to travel with your mama ❤

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Thank you it was a lot of fun xx

[@Lisamol11]

Wonderful! Thanks for letting us live vicariously! I've never been to Italy but hope to go someday. The food looked WONDERFUL! How wonderful to see your lace-making cousin! And I loved your new earrings and dress--you looked so fab! Yay!

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Lisa you must go! I think you would love it:) Thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful week! xx

[@Lisamol11]

@@AlyssaBeltempo you're right! I think I would too! I'd love to go with my mom someday particularly so it's fun to watch you travel with yours. ☺️ Have a great week and weekend!

[@giovannavissa5037]

We were there for two weeks. The second week was dedicated to your wedding and all the activities your mom painstakingly had organized for all the guests that week. It was wonderful a d everyone appreciated her efforts and participate with you your beautiful wedding day. Giovinazzo is a lively town, friendly and close to so many other towns each with their own history.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

I'm so glad you were able to be there for my wedding Zia! So special :)

[@sinnombre4357]

Never in a million years would I have thought that you liked elaborate earings like that! They look great! Lovely trip. I too love digging through the piles of clothes at the markets when on vacation in Spain.

[@littlesparrowchannel7637]

Italy is definitely on my bucket list. What a special place. Thanks for sharing this video 👍👍🎉.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

You will love it, so many special things to see and do xx

[@MsBaby1959]

Hi Alyssa, most Italians who live up North Immigrated to the industrial triangle Milan/Turin/Genova way back in the '50s/60s and have either kept or inherited their original family homes in the regions down South. So in Summer or during the Christmas period they head back to their original family's hometown or city. Lovely video Alyssa, btw my older son's girlfriend is from Francavilla Fontana in Puglia, we live in Torino. PS your mom is lovely 😊

[@skihillsandy]

Great travel vlog, loved the earrings! Your Mom is the best, what a beautiful family in Puglia. 🙏🏽❤️

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

[@gracedarlenemcpherson9079]

FABULOUS TRIP!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@maureenanne3199]

I happened upon your vlog while perusing fashion, and immediately had to click when I saw the episode on Puglia. I have traveled many places in Italy, all stunning in their own way, but none affected me with as much emotion as Giovinazzo, birthplace of my maternal grandfather, who by the way, had two sisters named Corsignana! All of Puglia s a treasure, but I will never forget our time in Giovinazzo and can't wait to go back.

[@martaanna3698]

Lovely blog, Alyssa. I plan to move to Malta, in which I fell in love after two weeks vacation 😉so from there it'll be close to south Italy. I dream about visiting Italy (I only visited Venice 10 years ago) and Greece.

[@AlyssaBeltempo]

Oh wow that's amazing! I have been to Malta and it's very beautiful! Amazing that you'll be so close to southern Italy, lucky you!

[@martaanna3698]

@@AlyssaBeltempo Malta is close architecturally and culturally to Sicily. But also to India, specially when it comes to some architecture solutions. I love India. I went there (mean Malta) and and some pictures to my sister. And she asked "So, when are you moving to Malta? 😂" Tha question blew my mind. I started thinking, talking to my husband and... Yes. We nade a decision. I already moved my life once from Poland to Germany. After that experience I feel that I can do again 😉

[@maroulio2067]

Sounds like a fantastic move.

OMG Alyssa, this vlog is brilliant. Reminds me of the wonderful times spent with all my aunts (who cook on stovetops as small as that) and their delicious food in Crete; hanging out with my cousins on various beaches there and just enjoying the great weather and towns. The earrings were wonderful - what a great find!

[@patriciad.7309]

A lovely surprise video, thanks! Your Italian is so good, I could even understand some of it (I did 3 years of Italian at school 30 years ago) - did your mum and dad speak to you in Italian as you were growing up? Anyhoo, lovely video, lovely family, great food and style!

[@dluckygurl8]

Spent two weeks in Puglia two summers ago and I loved it!!! I loved how laidback and easy that family holidays was - no loads of tourists, so many towns/cities to visit that are totally different from one another, and amazing, fresh local food (as always anywhere in Italy)! Nardò, Gallipolli, Santa Maria di Leuca, and Lecce stood out the most for me. So many other places to visit as we didn't get to see the northeastern part...I wish to visit again...soon, I hope! Loving all your vlog posts! xx - New Subscriber from Germany

Hi Alissa, I didn't know you are half Italian. What a nice video, it remembers me of the summer holiday in Sicilia. I live in the North West of Italy, it's a bit like Canada. That's why I like going to the south on holiday. Brava, go on line this! Ciao?

Ciao! ( With exclamation Mark, Sorry!)

[@obscurity7]

Watching this in Oct 2021, after 45 years of lockdown and semi-lockdown and if-you-know-what's-good-for-you-don't-travel ... oof, it's rough! It's giving me Andalusia vibes, which is where we went on our honeymoon. As for the shopping, I almost never buy clothing or bags on holiday (anymore) because I'm in a different headspace when I'm traveling, and invariably I come home with pieces that do not at all fit with my wardrobe and lifestyle. My husband, on the other hand, goes absolutely wild at the shops in Italy in particular, coming home with beautiful Italian tailoring.
