yes more translations please.

[@phyllisannbonviso6641]

I love to hear the little one speak - every ounce of me listens intently, as if were the most important thing in the world.Oh when he said, "Mama mia! pick me up from off the floor - adorable! Grandpa in the garden with his helper....that is a good life my friend, real good.

[@KylieFlavell]

Good to hear - I worried I was just biased in finding his little dialogue amusing. 🥰

I totally agree with you both on the tiles… made with heart!

[@hannarudolv5005]

I first discovered your channel in 2021 when I was 13 years old and instantly fell in love with Italy through your eyes. I’m now 17 and on an exchange year in Italy, from Sweden, and experiencing it through my one one’s. Thank you for showing me the beauty of Italy, you’ve changed my life. ❤

[@KylieFlavell]

Wow!! Thank you for following for so long! I’m so happy for you experiencing this country now at the beautiful age of 17!!! 🎉❤

Wow, the tile-making was amazing! Your whole family is amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@theresecrisman6230]

Kylie, after nearly six years of dreaming about Italy and being inspired and encouraged by your videos, my dream is finally realized and I am living in Rome! While this is truly a dream come true, everything I imagined isn’t necessarily how it has worked out-I’m struggling to learn the language and make friends with Italians, my job is in tourism not something creative as I hoped, and my window overlooks a loud busy street, not a piazza. However, each day there are little moments as dreamy as my Italian fairytale when the ancient walls of a palace are aglow in the evening sun as I walk home or when the man making my cappuccino bids me “buona giornata!” I’m wondering if this was similar to your experience moving to Italy. How did you fully immerse yourself into the sometimes unfriendly, disheartening realities of life in Italy as a foreigner? And how did you create the career you were passionate about while maybe having to do jobs you didn’t like to make ends meet? While this is a question, it is also a thank you for being like a friend to me over the years and for tirelessly sharing beauty which has brought joy and discovery to my life. I wish I could give you a big hug and say “my friend, we’ve finally done it!” 💛

[@KylieFlavell]

Wow! Congratulations! I’ll answer this in my Q&A.

[@josianepolidori9896]

I love listening to Gianfranco saying: ''un capriolo, una mamma capriola.'' This small little boy is great at grammar, already understanding the rules of languages. Un bambino molto carino.

[@francescahamilton6856]

You look blooming Kylie. Not long now. I suppose you are already planning a scrumptious Xmas. I showed my Plumber your videos. He's watching all 36 videos of your 'Learn Italian series'. He's Albanian, speaks Italian, but says it needs brushing up. He's very impressed. They're excellent. You are a good teacher. You have lots of admirers. Take care. Francesca in London ✨️✨️

Oh wow, I spend a lot of time on the language ones so I’m super glad they’re helpful. 😊

[@Vincent-g4i]

Hello Kylie, We have been watching you and your family for the last few years since before your wedding. We totally enjoy watching the changes at the Villa as well as watching you interact with your family, especially your son. Your ability to capture real life moments are so precious and emotional. They give cause to self examination and reflection. A while back your family took a vacation to Greece and we loved your video. However we have been unable to find the name of the island and village your visited. Would you be able to share that information. Continued blessings to you and your family. Many thanks for the many hours of enjoyment you provide. Vincent

[@roshirahmati1603]

I just want to squeeze GianFranco, he is so cute ☺️ he is growing up so quickly. You have beautiful family what an amazing place for your kids to grow up. All the best giving birth.

[@femmenoire777]

Ahhh THIS is the life ❤

[@anabohanes107]

Congratulations on your second pregnancy Kylie! I have two boys as well and they are a joy. A 4year old committed to having fun all the time and a 4 month old who seems to be going the same way. Discipline and love all the way is the way to go. I love your videos and seeing you so filled with life. I’ve followed you for so many years too. We tried a move to a small village by Siena but we were so afraid of the neighbors we immediately turned around and came back to Austria. I almost went into a depression since Italy has always been my dream. My husband’s deal is that I first have to learn German before we attempt to ever try Italy again but I’ve resisted for 4 years to learn the language. I love how you guys live in a rural area and it’s probably safer. I life through your videos even though we also live in a beautiful place with vineyards but the sounds of Italian sing to my Colombian soul. Sending you blessings and a safe and loving delivery. ❤

[@marche49]

[@carrieheaps1325]

Very sweet episode Kiley. I loved seeing the drying baby clothes on the line. I have learned that newborns are more peaceful when clothed in natural fibers like cotton, linen and wool. Their systems don’t handle man-made materials. I think this info is starting to help parents. I’m excited for your darling family!

[@RomyHouston-y9v]

I actually read a study recently where natural fibers are better for the human body, not just children.

[@carrieheaps1325]

Agreed! Future content idea Kiley!

Sempre bellissimi ,i tuoi video Kylie! I just lie here and smile, laugh and marvel at all the lovely joy that you share with us. I'm missing Tuscany so much at the moment, as I'm here is Sydney but it's wonderful to be sharing precious time with family. Gianfranco is increasingly adorable and I giggle as he chats away in his perfect Italian. Che angelino! Loved seeing you all enjoy the new season oil and also marvelled at how they make the cotto ...isn't it wonderful? They truly are beautiful. We have some in our home here and there in small quantities but I adore and appreciate them. Grazie mille Kylie...alla prossima 🥰🤗😘Marisa 😘

As always your videos are magnificent. What a Beautiful place to live a life of love, peace and a happy family. Gianfranco is a very advance for his age. So meticulous in everything he does. Fabolous! We so look forward to seeing your beautiful journey. The land is incredible with spring like weather in November. I truly believe the seasons have shifted. Will you consider writing a book of your receipts. Also a coffee table style book of your Italian home design would just be so fabulous. I would definitely love to have a reference book of your style ideas for when we build our home. We will be incorporating as many of the old artisan ways i the design. Thank you for sharing your journey. God Bless

I love cotto floor and ceiling tiles as well, Kylie! It’s not just the history, but the uneven texture that throws light, color and shadow in a magical way. On holidays in Tuscany, I too love to lie in bed or even the floor and look up at the ceiling while taking photos. Thank you for this lovely little film! Alla prossima!

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

[@kathleenclark5877]

What a wonderful catch-up video. I am a Canadian and I love Italy. Recently, from 23 and Me, I received another update as they refine my ancestry which is essentially Scottish with a bit of the rest of the UK and Northern Europe. However, to my everlasting joy, I was told in an update that I am 1% Italian! How that happened, who knows but I am thrilled. This video was so relaxing and interesting. I appreciate your decorating updates and tours of your property. Like you, Southern Ontario has been experiencing uncharacteristically warm temperatures which is always welcome especially in November! Gianfranco is clearly being given the most loving inclusive childhood. His motor skills planting! And his hair colour. I would KILL for that hair colour! I am completely prepared to start decorating for Christmas which I start in the middle of November and leave up until at lest the middle of January, largely because I put a great deal of effort into it and because I just enjoy it so much. So, a suggestion: I remember a few years ago you did some gorgeous videos during which you were preparing for Christmas and you made a number of lovely homemade Christmas decorations. That would be lovely. I also agree about the artisanal tiles. That whole timeless element of building materials are as you say, riddled with the hands on texture that contributes to the warmth and texture of centuries old buildings which you are incorporating in your own ruin renovating is so fascinating to watch. I hope that this birth will be far more pleasant than your last. That was an absolute nightmare for you. Looking forward to your next video!

[@rgw5830]

I wonder how many sales Sleepy Denim and JW (Jasmine and Will) in Australia will receive from Brian's thoughtful gifts. Imagine a sideline for your Mum, sourcing and sending beautiful things from Florence for Brian's upcoming boutique store. I'd order Italian fabric from Casa dei Tessuti !
