[@garywilson9640]

Thank you for this. It is fascinating for me. My Italian Great Grandfather's Ancestry was from Milano via Sicily. He immigrated to America in early 1870s. He purchased his ranch in my community on August 23, 1880 which I've now inherited. I'm now the 4th generation owner. The one story passed down to me was he always insisted that Raviolis be served for every Christmas Eve dinner. I continued on with that tradition this past Christmas. The 143rd year doing that in my community. I also have the family ragu recipe and methodology. I'm glad to see her use Carrots and Celery. Our secret ingredient is plenty of Nutmeg, which I have a sneaky feeling is her's too 😊

[@giansala7409]

Congratulations, continue to keep this tradition alive!!

Love that you surprised everyone and what beautiful works of art your Nonno created!

[@followchrist5399]

Your videos are always so heartwarming and sweet! I love to watch them! I live in a rural part of Arkansas and we also use a wood stove for heat during the winter. It’s pretty common in this area if you don’t live in town to have one. Some people use it as their only heat source (like us) and others have one to supplement their electric heat or in case of a power outage. Hauling and stacking wood is hard work. What a great son. ❤

[@nanskischaeffeler9041]

There are lots of people in Switzerland, France and Italy who use wood-burning stoves to heat their house. The modern stoves are very efficient and some can be used to heat water which is then used to heat existing radiators by being plumbed into the central heating system. So not old-fashioned at all,but very ecological!

[@annedodd5888]

Wood burning stoves are very popular especially amongst people who convert their older houses back to their original and expose the fire places. They give out great heat and create a very cosy atmosphere. However, they are not good for the environment. They emit CO2!!😢😢

[@moorenicola6264]

I'm Irish and in my early 40s. In my early childhood we had a Parkray fire, which was a fire built into the wall with a door and a glass window run on coal or anthracite. It used to heat the water and so in turn the radiators. Sometimes it would get so hot that the radiators would start to bang and we'd have to turn on the hot water tap to cool the rads down. I was too young to get the coal from the bunker in the back garden but I did rake it out the following morning and clean the glass. In summer we obviously wouldn't light a fire but we had an immersion to heat the water. A real fire is so comforting though.

[@superkatertot5425]

Exactly! We're being scolded not to burn wood, don't use gasoline, but to purchase EV that costs outrageous PLUS 5-15K to replace a battery that is the MOST UN-RECYCLABLE thing!! It's nonsense. Do your part to recycle, and then 91% of plastics aren't even recycled. If the wealthy, jet-flying, multiple homes people lecturing us from Davos actually cared, plastics would not be everywhere including the oceans. You and I are doing our part, these elites are NOT. They don't like us having a small life with a little woodstove which is actually heating places like Alessio's mom's entire home. GLASS is 100% recyclable and our foods need to come in glass vs. plastic.

[@nicoladc89]

@@annedodd5888 Wood heating is carbon neutral. It emit the quantity of CO2 the wood had absorbed. The problem is all the other things it emit and the process to obtain the biomass, usually cutting trees without replacing them.

[@annedodd5888]

@@nicoladc89 recently I’ve been reading that wood burning stoves, although very popular, are significantly contributing to fossil fuel emissions. Having said that, isn’t nearly everything doing that!!!

Beautiful video. So comforting, like I'm home there with you. I love Alessio's mom, the wood stove (the best heat!), his grandmother and her star cat, the chores of being home, the specialty stores, the sound of small town life, and of course, his grandfather and his astonishingly beautiful mosaic art. To be surrounded by all of that everyday is the most wonderful way to live. Why do his grandfather and grandmother live apart, I wonder (none of my business)? And I cannot wait to follow your journey to meet his brother and father. Where do they live? What do they do? What's the family dynamic like?

Hi Alessio and Jessi, that stone wall was really amazingly beautiful and so much detail. I have never put Celery and Carrots in Lasagna but will have to try it. All of the dishes looked really tasty. Have to say that the Celery looked really fresh and Green with so many leaves on the top. In the USA you can hardly ever get that nice of Celery in the Super Market. Glad that you showed the individual shops that you can buy specific things in his hometown. Usually the food you get in those shops are much better than the normal Grocery store Meats and Produce. Really enjoyed the vide as it is always interesting to see how people live in different parts of the world.

[@GinnyScates]

The celery and carrots are not part of Lasagna specifically, but they're ingredients that make the soffritto (sautéed?) in which you will cook the ragù meat. My mom does it too, I just don't care if the soffritto is just onions or the full onion-celery-carrots trio... 😅
