Restoring a Palazzo in TUSCANY

This is a journey of love and passion with a little bit of madness. We purchased this amazing Italian Palazzo and every weekend for over a year we have been slowly bring this historical Italian home back to life. My name is Nick Ferrand and with my beautiful partner Victoria Greenwood we have laughed, cried, argued and dreamed of one day moving in.

Glorious home Nick and Victoria!

[@italianproperty]

Thank you.@@yeahweburnstuff

[@aprilmax1956]

What a wonderful property. You and your partner will fill it with blood, sweat and tears and love to bring her back to life. When you opened the door to show the ball room it brought a tear to my eye. Not sure why, possibly just in awe of such beauty. Listening to your over the top excitement brings a smile. We stand with you Nick. Proud of your progress and would be so grateful to get updates on your restoration process. I am sure once you and your lady settle in your comfy couch with a glass of wine and sit and feel your surroundings peace will surround you both. Excited for you and her.

[@sueczerniak1266]

Couldn't agree more!

[@peterlarsen7779]

Hear! Hear! 👏👏👏

[@italianproperty]

Thank you so much. Best wishes, Nick.

[@joellenmeek658]

I’d love a video of you rummaging through all the bits and pieces you’ve found in this wonderful house.

[@italianproperty]

Coming soon! Thank you 🙏

[@lizziec7495]

I remember this home Nick, i loved it then. Please keep us up to date on the restorations, i can't wait to see the finished result, Its going to be magnificent. You are very lucky to have found this gem.

[@italianproperty]

I know. Every day I pinch myself. Thank you. 🙏❤️😊

[@moviebuff6490]

Thank you Nick for including us on this epic journey. Yes!Please do updates now and then. It's easy to see why you and Victoria bought this magnificent home,and I'm sure it will be absolutely beautiful and filled with love and happiness. Your energetic enthusiasm will see your vision come to life.

[@italianproperty]

🥰

[@connieworcester55]

Oh WOW,, Nick, that place is beautiful.! That ballroom .. oh my. ! Yes would love to keep updated on the restoration of this historic beauty. Thank you so much for the lovely tour..

[@jamesbarr2597]

Nick, I'm speechless. I've restored three stone houses and understand the feelings of unadulterated love they stir in the soul. Ancient terracotta, hand fashioned beams, original doors, wells, room-size fireplaces, frescoes ... it's a long list of bliss. The galleried lounge is Venetian masked ball on steroids. And then there's the garden. Bravo.

[@italianproperty]

Thanks James. 🙏

[@sharonparker4]

Congratulations, Nick, what an incredibly beautiful home you & Victoria are restoring!! And that ballroom is achingly beautiful!! We will watch this video again & again; it’s such a treat! And yes, we would love a rummage. Also, my vote is not to paint the man cave ceiling; what fantastic history in every corner of your beautiful palazzo!👏👏

[@italianproperty]

Thank you Sharon. I agree with you. 🙏❤️😊🤗

[@judit1783]

Every room, the garden, the floors, the ceilings, the walls, the old tub.............wordless....no - wait - one word - heaven. But, I would not want to clean it!! lol

[@annedodd5888]

Speechless!! Absolutely stunning doesn’t begin to describe the grandeur and beauty of this house The ballroom is stupendous. 1620 keeps racing around my mind. How did they do it? Obviously it was built for a wealthy family but the workmanship and attention to detail is astounding for a house in a road in Anghiari. I for one hope you continue with videos of this restoration. Also, some historical information about previous owners would be intriguing. You are a very fortunate man to own this and the house is very fortunate to have you & your family as guardians. Buona fortuna!!

[@italianproperty]

Thank you 🙏🤗❤️😍🤗❤️

[@risalangdon9883]

Nick. Whenever I see old historical buildings like this one, I can't help but think about it's history. My mind starts thinking about all the stories that the rooms hold. Just imagine the secrets the walls hold. It's witnessed many wars, conflicts & private meetings. While also possible happier stories of party's, celebrations, holidays and perhaps loved ones returning from war or long travels. This is when one really wishes that the walls could actually talk 😆.

[@hinarajpoot6812]

Yes, you are right, walls speak and are witnesses to many stories.

[@italianproperty]

Agreed. Thank you. 🙏🤗❤️

[@briansit762]

I remember you showing us this property and I told myself, “he’s gonna buy it!” Because of your immense enthusiasm- well, you are usually very excited about a lot of the places you present, but there was such a spark about this one. I am very happy for you and your family.

[@italianproperty]

Thank you Brian. 🙏

[@Jane-3229]

Oh my goodness! Completely and utterly stunning ❤❤❤ thank you so much Nick and Victoria for sharing your magnificent home and all the beautiful restoration you have both done. I so wish you could share more of your journey like the chateau owners do in France. What with your fabulous personality and wonderful partner I’m sure you would be a huge success. Thank you again for sharing. I absolutely loved every minute of the video ❤❤❤

[@italianproperty]

You are so welcome. 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@sandramuis7430]

OMG, Nick, priceless…….what a find. You are the Perfect person for this property. So very happy for you. Please do keep us up to date on the progress of the renovations. Lovely!!! 👍🥰❤️🥂

[@glleon80517]

Nick, as a former realtor, I think we tend to sometimes wander into hyperbole when we show property. But you, Nick, are truly and authentically in love with Italian architecture, and you use the same descriptions for your own home! ❤

[@italianproperty]

🥰 Thank you so much. Best wishes, Nick.

[@gwindhorse3594]

Looking forward to seeing her completed. Quite THE house. Grand Dame of the Grand Dames. Thank You!

[@italianproperty]

Pleasure. 🙏

[@stephaniefox5929]

I just can't find the words! You had me in the first few minutes with the beautiful doors, and hand forged hinges. By the time you were at the staircase my eyes filled with tears of excitement. Then the ballroom! Just no words! This magnificent home has been patiently waiting for the perfect family to come restore happiness, passion, patience, and love back into its soul. A partnership written centuries ago, continues once again. Congratulations to you both! 👏 ❤

[@italianproperty]

My eyes just filling up with tear. Thank you. ♥️

[@angelamoreno5914]

My goodness!! What can I say about such a masterpiece of beauty! Wow! If anyone can love, appreciate and preserve such a historical building…it’s Nick! It’s in your voice in your words and your contagious excitement of this accomplishment ! It’s absolutely stunning, I wish nothing less than many decades of happiness in this beauty with everyone close to your heart Nick! You work hard and you deserve to have your dream fulfilled. I genuinely feel so happy for you! Congratulations ❤

[@djo4308]

Yes, it is a masterpiece!

[@italianproperty]

Thank you so much. 🥰 Bless you, Nick.

[@anniethompson1041]

Wow so beautiful. Nick it's always been delightful to hear the enthusiasm in your voice in every property you show, but with this house I can just feel your pure happiness and even ecstasy (especially in that stairway). Many blessings in this house for your family for many years! I hope you give us another tour as the work gets completed. Beautiful!!

[@italianproperty]

Thanks so much. N

[@robinsbuck]

Oh my. This property is in such loving hands. Your care and love for its history is satisfying to watch. I am trying to imagine how I would decorate such a living room that is already decorated…. Hoping for that video someday. Thank you for your videos and charming nature.

[@italianproperty]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching

[@peterlarsen7779]

Congratulations Nick and significant other with the purchase of this cracking building! Thank you for taking us on this guided tour! I hope to see more when you are either moved in, or when you have finished...or _both!_ Would love to see more from that treasure trove room of yours! 😊👍 Cudos to you for keeping hold of so many of the stuff that was in there when you took ownership. Thank you also for staying true to the houses heritage and history (e.g. something as menial as that _one_ floor tile), and also supporting the artisans that have done an extraordinary piece of work for you... Well done! 👏👏👏👏

[@italianproperty]

Thanks Peter. 🙏 Nick.

[@anthonyrondolino8148]

Enthusiastic and in love with life. You go Nick!

[@user-ro1xm1oe5l]

I absolutely love your new home. My husband and I are in the USA and love Italy. Your show is outstanding....the history and knowledge of architectural design has taught us so much. Please provide updated videos of your property. We love old and historic homes and items.... Don't change anything about yourself or show.... outstanding just the way you are...the love and passion are demonstrated in every presentation. You're not just selling a home but the history of ITALY. WE LOVE YOU.... THE CAMERA WILL ADJUST.. Rhonda and Jack

[@italianproperty]

The house will adjust! 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@mistressmon]

I always tell people that envy is a terrible trait to have. BUT this property of yours has given me a clear case of it. It is so beautiful. I just want to cry .... incredible

[@janetsnyder4368]

I am so happy for you and your wife….you deserve this..please do a video when yo are done and moved in …dont leave us hanging on the end result..your amazing……we love your show….❤

[@italianproperty]

Will do!! Thank you 🙏

[@juliagriffin603]

The ballroom! The ceiling of the storage room! This is going to be just insanely beautiful❣️

[@passionatelifeproject]

I'm a little late to this one but, OMG! What an amazing place you have there Nick. The Grand Ballroom is such a treat! I'm sure you'll never see another one still relatively intact like this one. And yes please, I love a good rummage through old homes, a video of the amazing stuff you've salvaged would be awesome! And holy guacamole! That ceiling is amazing! I'm so impressed that you are keeping as much of the originality of the property as possible. I absolutely love history and not enough of it is saved when renovating. You've got yourself an absolute treasure there!

[@italianproperty]

Thank you. 🤗🙏❤️

[@martinstensby2011]

Oh, Nick, I can hear your pure love for this fantastic historic building, and that gives me happiness too! I feel so happy and secure that you are the perfect and caring owner of this treasure of Italy! Thank you very much for showing us this palazzo! The wall paintings in 3 d in the saloon was wonderful and amasing! Congratulations to a fantastic property!

[@italianproperty]

Thank you Martin. ❤️

[@lacrosse1314]

Yes, please. A monthly restoration update video would be most welcome!

[@lewiswood812]

Nick, I have done a lot of historical renovation in old east Dallas and found soda blasting to be the best to preserve the old finishes and not destroy the the old finishes. I love your enthusiasm for this project and wish you the very best. My buildings were a little over 100 years old and are all on the National Register of Historic Places.

[@italianproperty]

Wow Lewis, that sounds amazing and thanks for the tip. Would love to see some pictures. 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@maureenelia7122]

You look like you are floating with happiness and fulfillment! Clearly you are in the place that has been waiting for you! What an amazing home and adventure!!! Thank you for sharing this!

[@maureenelia7122]

And I share your position about being 'stewards', not merely 'owners'...I've always felt this responsibility and honor with my homes.

[@italianproperty]

🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@johnmcdermott5505]

So cool you ended up owning this wonderful piece of history. Your palazzo and the one with the rooftop garden and untouched pharmacy from the ‘50’s are the two most memorable properties you have shown in my opinion. Just wonderful stuff.

[@italianproperty]

Thanks John. 🙏❤️

[@kirkdeshotel2632]

OOH WOW NICK THE BALLROOM IS a purchase point on it's own. And a Huge Garden, almost Nick, I hope you do give us "Monthly Tours". Looking forward to seeing more Nick, Outstanding; Blessings Always KIRK'OUT'PEACE

[@kylaodonnell5016]

Wow Nick! What a beautiful property. I can totally see why you brought it. What a staircase and garden! Congrats on the 100k subs. I love your videos

[@italianproperty]

You are so welcome. 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@tahiradarling5518]

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen on the internet.

[@italianproperty]

😊 Thank you so very much! 😍🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️ N.

[@user-fv7gm6wk7e]

Your new home is so amazing! Lots and lots of space, and history. So glad you are restoring your home. I am very happy for you guys! And yes when you are renovating, keep us up to date with your progress!

[@elizabethcarrington5819]

I would have bought this house for the ballroom and stair railings alone❤❤❤. So incredible and special.

[@italianproperty]

Thank you. We think so too. ❤️🙏🤗

[@aureliogarofalo5017]

Hello Nick, it is 1pm eastern Canadian time Saturday October 21st. 2023. You have a wonderful palazzo here and I can see the potential of what this will become after the work is done. I can here the excitement in your voice. Stay healthy and good luck in your project. Can't wait to see the finished product. This palazzo is grining from ear to ear that it found you to bring it back to life.

[@italianproperty]

I know. 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

Oh Nick! When you opened the door to the ballroom I just gasped... Then shouted out loud "Oh Nick! OMG, what on earth?! YES!" 😂 The first thing I'd do if I bought a house with a room like that is have a candlelight picnic on the floor of that room with baroque music and local wine and pinch myself! 🙌 The entire house is incredible! Oh and That Garden!?What in the world... You found THE house, made of history and dreams! And inside a villeage too! Everything about the house is fenomenal! Unique! Beautiful! And what a warm vibe! Oh it will take years to restore, and there'll always be work to do on it, but that's part of the whole lifestyle and for sure a labour or love. I hope you do get to move in relatively soon. That will be a milestone and make progress from there easier. But it's good you are staying elsewhere until it's comfortably livable in any area. That's one of the things my friends on many yt restoration channels often say, when they break down the "What we wish we had known before", is waiting to move in until your first living space is comfortably heated, with fully functionable kitchenette, laundry and bath. You can count on me watching any and every video you share about your space, with pleasure! There's so much to see and talk about. I have a zillion questions. The window in the stariwell you installed is fantastic, I cant imagine what it was like without it! The lime painted rooms beautiful! Yes, totally agree, it's old skool paints that bring walls like these back to life, no modern paints. Egg and linseed oil tempera is also a beautiful alternative that won't release chalk, is washable once it's cured a few months and is overall more durable for high trafficked areas, also kitchens etc. It's very easy to mix up yourself with easily available and affordablr ingredients (earth pigments, fresh eggs, boiled linseed oil, water, a little vinager and some calcium carbonate for structure) and easy to paint with, extra beautiful if you use a long bristled brush in layers. Matte and changes constantly with the light, but can also be brushed up to a sheen (nice for darker hues in kitchens, baths etc). Used since the early renaissance! (the Sisteen Chapel for example) My God such beauty you have to care for! I'm so happy for the house too, it now has owners who will cherish it and bring back it's glory ❤❤❤ 👌 Thank you for this BIG reveal. How generous of you. Congratulations on your award, and yoir followers abd your own dream house in Italy. You're an ambassador of all the qualities you found in your home to be, you certainly deserve it Nick. Bravissimo!

[@italianproperty]

I'm so sorry I missed your message. I always enjoy receiving them. Thank you. Have a great week. Nick.

[@normannason]

How wonderful and generous of you to share your new home with us, Nick. I and my wife would absolutely love to see more videos as you continue with your marvelous restoration process. You have purchased a diamond in the rough, and we can all see that with your passion, love, and skill, you will restore this home into the masterpiece it once was. Bravo!

[@italianproperty]

Thank you both for your kind message. 🤗❤️🙏 Nick.

[@kalipress4338]

You have the background showing older homes. So feel you would be charmed by this and sure it shall be beautiful while preserving the history. The garden will be delightful when you get to it. Thank you for sharing your new home

[@RetiredJohngolfsalot]

Nick….what can one say….a beautiful, stunning home that you and Victoria are bringing back to life. We so appreciate you taking the time to share with us and we would LOVE to see progress videos and of course the final reveal. The property is gorgeous. Congratulations and keep your videos, your infectiously wonderful attitude and your love of properties and Italy coming…now off to watch your latest property offering 😊

[@italianproperty]

You are so welcome. 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@andreagoldberg3104]

Oh my goodness! I remember this property and remember how excited you were to show it! I can't tell you how much joy it gives me to know you bought it! I am in awe of the cantilevered staircase and the fresco - obviously it's a dream! Would love to see the progress you and your partner make on the restoration. Congratulations on the KZbin award, as well. No one deserves it more than you! Thank you for your passion and your love of history and architecture - you help keep the dream alive in me!

[@italianproperty]

🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@deborahditaranto]

Gorgeous, gorgeous home, dream and piece of history! It is very fortunate to have you and your family as it’s new guardians! What a perfect fit! I feel your passion for this restoration project- it shines through the screen. Buona fortuna! (More vids of this when you can, please!) Deborah p.s. the ballroom is to die for and those wood burners!

[@italianproperty]

You are so welcome Deborah and yes, I will be doing more videos. 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@LanaALaBonte]

Wow 🤩 Thank You so much for sharing Your Own Renovation Experience! As soon as you went into that “theater room” I’ll call it, I remembered seeing the original video you made. Those frescoes are priceless! I love them. This is so exciting! I agree with the more elegant lime walls versus rag. The work you’ve already done is outstanding! I can’t wait to see how it evolves! What a Gorgeous Labour of Love! I love how this “investment” is the gift that keeps on giving with more & more surprises revealing themselves to you! I laugh thinking that the cantina has more depth under those stones… quietly removing them I bet you’ll find more treasures! I have had some of the most interesting conversations around keeping the “unearthed findings” quiet & away from prying government seizures. 😂 🎉❤🎉

[@italianproperty]

They can only buy it now when we sell it, which will be never! 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@robertknitzer7588]

Congratulations, Nick! What an amazing project. So much potential. Can’t wait to see more videos as the house and gardens progress!

[@italianproperty]

You are so welcome Robert 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@rosegarden147]

I glad that this property belong to you for your love in working in properties in your country and sharing them to the world ,very very hard work but I see your happy in your face and this episode is phenominal .Hope to see the next episode of this property.

[@peggyjoyce7763]

Love the opening shot. This is your BEST house tour because it's obvious you and Victoria are in love with this palazzo and are probably the only couple in all of Europe who will lovingly restore this amazing structure back to sparkling beauty no matter how long it takes. Good for you Nick. All the best. I'm putting you on my "get in touch with" list the next time I'm in Italy.

[@italianproperty]

Thank you so much Peggy. Looking forward to meeting you. Have a great weekend. Nick.

[@rosemarienin9823]

That murano glass chandelier in the mess room would be perfect for that ballroom. You could have light shades custom made to give it more elegance.

[@TheAwakeningangel]

Well I do not know where to start, WOW Nick what a treasure, I like you am a lover of Architect and old things of Beauty, and well this home is all that, when they say Jaw hits the floor well I now know why, I actually was looking right into the screen to see that wonderful fresco in the ballroom it was as if you could walk right into it. The rooms are amazing and you have both done great work so far, the glass ceiling must give so much joy in all seasons as the yellows and orange streaming in and down in the summer, the winter nights of full moons above it what can I say. But yes yes I want to see it all as much as you can show. The Garden I would love a walk around that too please, lol, Oh how I wish I could turn back time the first place I would go is Italy. Sadly I can only dream through your wonderful videos, The very best of luck to you all and just cant wait for next instalment. Much love sent to you and yours Dede xxxxx

[@italianproperty]

Thanks so much Dede. You are so very welcome. 🥰 Best wishes, Nick.

[@johnnewhouse1235]

We love you too Nick. You fill your videos with your warm and happy heart and share it all with us. Italia suits you so well, and you are perfect for Italia. Sometimes, clichés come true, like a marriage made in heaven. Thankyou for all the chuckles, your faithful friend and dog Mackie, and for taking us all on your magical travels. You always give us time to appreciate the beauty and fascination of all your properties. It's Aladin's Cave, 1001 Nights and romance and beauty. And a taste for all your viewers of properties and landscapes and places to admire and imagine being in. The palazzo you are restoring will tell many more enchanted stories along the way as you all give this place your tender loving care with as yet untold years of celebration and good times to come. We send our love to you and all your family and happy guests to the house. Anghieri and that long, endless road will be a bit, and much more special, with you living there. Best to everyone on the channel. Un salutone a tutti da Bruxelles, John

[@italianproperty]

Thank you so much John. So grateful for your very kind comment. 🤗🤗🙏🙏❤️❤️ Nick

[@lazios]

Just for buying a property subject to the Italian superintendence restrictions, you deserve a medal, I can only imagine the struggles, difficulties and bureaucratic battles. That said though, in "change" you have a gorgeous Palazzo, congratulations. 🍺

[@italianproperty]

To be honest it’s not that bad, as long as you don’t want to whitewash the entire house. 🤣🙏🤗

[@protectanimals9792]

The BALLROOM. Oh wow !! I had to watch it again. I can only imagine having a few glasses of wine and just looking at the incredible room. Wow !!

[@avemason9981]

I did not see original video of home, so all new to me. A ballroom! Rummage video? Absolutely. What a treasure you have invested in. It will be a well spent life living there. Not yet done watching. I am on the 1st floor. Okay..done. The work your and Victoria's hands do to restore for your lives there, will be so rewarding, as you enjoy all the builders did originally. So blown away by the size and beauty of it, Nick. Blessings to you for your life to be lived there.

[@italianproperty]

🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@sharonfranklin9255]

All I can say is WOW! You have hit the jackpot with this treasure. I wish you and your family many years of joy here. You have an eye for hidden gems. Please keep us updated as you progress. My jaw dropped as you filmed from the railing down into the grand ballroom. This is a stunner. Bravo!

Thank you! You too! Best wishes, Nick ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏

It will be interesting to see how you will light your home inside and out. There are wonderful things they are doing with LED these days, including battery powered that does not require running wires.

[@marydonohoe8200]

You are very deserving of this remarkable find, Nick. You will respect its history and its extraordinary significance. It has taught me things of which I had no idea. The wells! The solid rock wash basin! The ballroom with its trompe l’œil mural was a delightful surprise! Thank you for sharing your joy in Italian architecture and history, and especially in your wonderful “new” home!

The floors and the wood work is awesome. What a dream property! Words fail me.

[@tonyaustin4472]

Nick :-) you and I share the same DNA….I’ve spent most of my 75 years in old houses, mostly -17th and 18th Century doing the same as you, restoring with love and care the buildings I’ve been lucky enough to have occupied. However I have learnt one awful lesson and it’s this; when you move on be careful who you sell it to! I bought a very sad looking but (to me) utterly beautiful 17th Century farm house that had been left empty and derelict for 20 years. The windows were Georgian 5 paned sashes with the original glass; it cost a fortune to restore them but restore them I did. The external and internal walls were all original lime plaster (just like yours, wonderfully uneven)…I could go on and on! But I sold it to a couple and when after a while I happened to pass by the house, I saw to my utter dismay all the windows had been ripped out and replaced with the most ugly plastic double glazed units you could possibly imagine; the 17th Century oak front door replaced by a hideous plastic door, the lime plastered external walls now coated with concrete….it broke my heart and grown man that I am, I cried. Just remember, all of you who love Nick and this site as I do, be careful who you pass your treasured work on to, cos the pain of seeing 5 years of love and care and hard work being trashed is almost unbearable. Love to you all :-) Tony

You are so welcome. 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick. PS: This is my last house.

[@candyauxier1776]

Oh my! I could watch any number of videos that you make of every inch of the house and garden. Then you can make videos of every single thing that you found in the house lol.

[@tommyer1313]

Nick!!! I’m so jealous of you, you little bastard!! Your home is amazing, as are your home tours! Your excitement and joy is contagious, and your appreciation of the old is right up there with mine. My partner’s parents immigrated from Italy, and I’ve been trying to convince him to buy a home there since we’ve both retired, and I’m almost there! Thank you for your channel, yours is the most enjoyable of all the other channels about property for sale in Italy, and when we do buy a home in Italy, I hope it’s one from your channel. Ciao, and keep up the good work!

[@italianproperty]

You are so welcome. 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@Agentxile]

I love the lime paint. It's not that yellow paint. It's gorgeous. My goodness, Nick. That ballroom would be my bedroom. You're house is so special. I'm happy for you.

[@italianproperty]

You are so welcome. 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@bf9436]

O M G!!! My mouth dropped open when you took us into the ballroom! I could just live in that room! Sigh...oh to live in a space like that. Yum You're gonna need a tux to hang out in your new salon! LOL! So gorgeous.

[@avemason9981]

I am not finished watching yet but I do not want to forget my comment for the rooms under the roof. Keep wood as is, with perhaps a little protective finish, clear. I love old wood as you, what life it has 403 years later, my goodness! Just gorgeous.! I grew up with American old homes of 1627 in Ipswich, Massachusetts. The oldest are on registers and must be kept up by the people living in them. The work the people of Itay and USA did in those years is amazing.

[@italianproperty]

Wow! 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@afus01]

Amazing!!! Please keep us posted on your progress and yes, a thousand times yes....rummage!!!!! Congratulations on your KZbin award! 👏👏👏

[@patricialipp7950]

Oh please please please keep us updated on your journey returning this beautiful property to its glory again. What an awesome house and what a job you have in front of you but man oh man...what a labor of love it will be. The ballroom...crikey what a beautiful space!!!! I look forward to more please and thank you xoxo🙏❤😘

[@italianproperty]

Thank you Patricia. It’s going to be fine. 😊🤗❤️🙏

[@caldosan5823]

The Ballroom made me emotional. I feel it’s in good hands however. Amazing.

[@italianproperty]

♥️

[@spyounis]

Lovely property and it's lucky to have found you.

[@italianproperty]

Thank you. 🙏

[@wernerdanler2742]

Good grief, Nick. What an undertaking. I should live so long to see you complete it. 😮 😂😅😂 That upstairs bath. I saw a bidet, a tub and the corner of a sink. Mmm, what's missing? The ball room is very dark but I suppose when this palazzo was built they thought it didn't need more windows because balls are at night, so lit by candles. There is no other use for the room. Brad from Bradsworld in Tuscany bought a flat in a palazzo a few months ago and had some sort of special treatment done on the walls. It's a plaster that after it dries gets a fine powdery coating on it. I guess it's an old Italian technique. He said it looked great. A presto ciao and cheers Nick.😊😊

[@italianproperty]

I’m putting in two extra toilets and two extra bathrooms. It was a very dull day but there quite a lot of light from the reflection of the other buildings. I think the reason that the ballroom is in such great condition is there’s no direct sunlight. The ballroom is going to be our reception. Thanks for your comment. It’s all going to finished by Feb 2024. 🙏❤️😊

[@rosemarienin9823]

In your study to be, those beams are amazing. Sandblasting would leave a nice finish, but messy. How about scraping them closer to bare wood and giving a whitewash finish. That would give you the class that you want. The faux finish on the stairwell at the attic level is a nice idea, just needs to be redone.

[@metalgirl]

My hubby is an architect and I’m an artist/ metalsmith… this is right down our alley!!! Love your videos!!

[@italianproperty]

If you’re ever in Italy come over and I’ll happily give you both a tour. ❤️🙏😊

[@SteveAmatoTemeculaCa]

I really enjoy your enthusiasm Nick for everything old and the history from bits and pieces to architecture. It is important to enjoy what you do for a living and you show us every week the passion that you have; that is incredible . I try to surround myself in my life with people like yourself. I know it's hard work but the reward is priceless. I appreciate what you do keep it up :)

[@italianproperty]

That’s a really lovely message. Thank you. ❤️

[@laarawilliamsen]

Hi Nick, Oh I love that on the roof shot, I'm glad you have a rope on. So exciting to be touring you and your partner's home! Yay! Lead on! Wow, one day! Your two are totally great! Oh what a magnificent roof cave for you! Oh I am so happy for you, what a garden....it is huge! and in the town/village!!! I believe keeping the ceiling original as long as it is safe! Gorgeous bedroom (I don't care for lime rag!) looks great! Ceiling is gorgeous! Love, love, love the Latin! what a great wood burner antique, here in Canada just that would cost a fortune. Yay, I agree --leave the plaster alone !There is a fortune in old antiques there! OMGoodness THE BALLROOM. Holy, holy, so magnificent! YES PLEASE MORE RUMMAGE! OH THE CEILING, OMG and the floor. This room is definitely a PALACE Ballroom. Love it so much! Yes, the light is crazy beautiful on the stair rail and through the window. Ohhhh! The original well and I'm so happy you are keeping the old door! Wow,, solid stone carved wash.sink. Okay $50 is such a good insane price for 15th century door! Beautiful! OmG more ceiling painted and the Doctors office would make a great art studio~!! I am so very happy for you and your family, Nick and yes, I would love to see more of your beautiful Palace as you continue to refurbish it. Wishing you all the Best Laara, Canada

[@italianproperty]

Dear Laara, I haven't been able to reply to all the comments due to other matters. So sorry for my delay. It's always a joy receiving your messages and observations. 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@laarawilliamsen]

@@italianproperty Thanks so much Nick, for all you do! Best Wishes, Laara from Canada

[@marietownsend8396]

Nick, Nick, Nick and Victoria thank you for the fabulous tour. I love your enthusiasm for your very daunting home. Please keep us updated as you restore all of it. And when you have time I would love to see the garden close up.

[@italianproperty]

We will. 🤗🙏

[@paulhornsey-pennell1931]

i barely know where to start having watched this ... other than that ballroom is INSANE! and the garden is extraordinary ... and, once again, your commentary is such a joy to hear someone so genuinely happy .... but finally i have to take my hat off to you for the sheer courage and commitment for having taken this on. the work you have both done looks utterly fantastic.

[@artbronny3432]

I remember falling in love with this property when I first saw the original video. Tis a stunning gem with the lot. Thank you for sharing Victoria and your loving restoration, Nick. Beautiful. 💙

[@sfmrgil9674]

Mr Italian Property, you are a greatly entertaining and enthusiastic property showman. Thank you.

[@italianproperty]

🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@lavadodhugo5181]

CONGRADULATIONS ON YOUR STUNNING PURCHASE!

[@RandR55]

Wow! Just wow!! I do hope you can save the wall and ceiling frescoes... maybe just wash with a weak vinegar/baking soda solution with a couple drops of tea tree oil (defo test on a small corner first)? Lime paint on the non-frescoed walls and wax on the floors would be my preference also and your finish is stunning. This palazzo and you are a marriage made in heaven, Nick- the grand old dame will be grateful for the attention and gorgeous when finished, and you will be the deserving owner of a peerless home. Much happiness. Updates please!

[@italianproperty]

Thanks for your tips. Sorry for my delay. 🥰 Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@arturocostantino623]

If you’re curious Matisse did a painting of an attic room just like yours. He used it as studio.

[@italianproperty]

Do you know the name of the painting? Best, Nick.
