I love the genuine care Carlo gives to those he loves and truly takes pride in whatever he does. You deserve that type of special love that just ever existed anymore.

[@oilenglai4128]

Hi Nicki, my opinion is " go publish your book immediately " you have great flair with English and Italian and your vlogs are so beautiful, attractive, chic , elegant and well narrated...... you colour the mundane and attend the simplest....GO GIRL 🏁🎈

[@mariannesouza8326]

“You color the mundane and attend the simplest.” Wow that’s beautiful; you, also, have quite a way with words! I think your description would be the perfect first review, on the back of the book jacket.

[@oilenglai4128]

@@mariannesouza8326 why!! Thank you kindly..... It is Nicki... She shares her Positano so generously and beautifully!!!

[@chrisholzhauer3698]

It is easy for people to see such a beautiful place and say "I could do that." Not everyone realizes how much hard work it takes to upkeep all that! You both work hard for the life you love!

[@IVant2BAlone]

That is exactly what I was thinking. It's beautiful, but comes at a price that not everyone would be willing to pay. Definitley not a life of leisure.

[@limeykl]

What a lovely cemetery! Well kept and so close to the community..still part of the living:)

[@sandrapeterson2589]

That is the most beautiful cemetery I have ever seen! A credit to Carlo and his team xx

[@jennyoshea1958]

Carlo's impassioned Nooo at your desecration of his fine straight line lol 😂

[@lindabradley1054]

Carlo takes such good care of your land - it's beautiful!

[@Trillion0323]

Can you please consider doing a video on the cost of living in Positano? Buying, renting, utilities, food prices, where you shop for clothes, household good and prices etc. How it all works would be such an interesting video. Thank You. Love your content!!

[@wendyrobertson9359]

Absolutely loved hearing of the ancient traditions ....the cemetery looks magical in the evening and so beautiful in the daylight .....so respectful and peaceful it is ....just love your videos Nikki xx

[@johncarroll4826]

I am professor emeritus at a Canadian university. I have been teaching writing for years. I am also a novelist and poet. I would be happy to read your manuscript and give you positive, constructive feedback!

[@always.wondering.wandering]

I think those who have passed will love how much care has been put into the cemetery of where they were buried and all their family members can share in it as well. A lovely place to come and reflect on the people who were in their lives. I hope you find some good readers for your novel. And, if even you decide not to go through with publishing it, just the satisfaction of having something written down what was in you mind and soul I'm sure was very gratifying. Skye looks like she has a keen eye with the camera, hope she got some good shots that she liked. Have a good week Positano family.

[@FaithofMelchizedek]

Nicely said.

[@nspr8cio]

Loved this video. My birthday is on All Souls' Day (or Día de los Muertos) and since my son has passed recently this day has even more meaning for me. Carlo, the cemetery looks amazing and the lights are beautiful. Thank you.

[@eeebee7420]

Carlos it was so beautiful what you did with the installation of lights in the graveyard. I can imagine that usually many people would be at the graves on All Souls Day on a non-pandemic year.

[@susanwoodward7485]

Another beautifully filmed, fascinating peek into Positano life. I particularly love the music you chose for the first part of the vlog! The hibiscus and datura plants were gorgeous - never get tired of seeing what you grow and when it flowers, fruits and ripens. Can't wait for the olive harvest and oil pressing. Thank you so much.

[@minisahni884]

I had never imagined the cemetery was so pretty and with all the lights done up it was looking so beautiful. It was lovely watching your sweet daily life...going about doing your simple house chores....baking yummy looking pasta.You know when a vlog like this ends ..I'm like...AWwwwwww!!!! Why did it have to get over...😊👍🤗...we are all eagerly waiting for your book...💖

[@NickiPositano]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@josephlia4470]

l always watch your vidios cant wait to sèe more tks from malta

@@NickiPositano I cimiteri ed i morti, IN ITALIA, sono cose serie! I cimiteri NON sono luoghi per picnic o demenziali feste americanoidi come halloween. Dovresti vergognarti di profanare in tal modo i morti! In quel cimitero riposano i miei genitori. O tu togli SUBITO il video ( o almeno le parti che inquadrano il cimitero) o io denuncio te e il tuo compagno Carlo ( custode del cimitero). vergognati.

[@tracyc1630]

Just watched this video, i love the traditions that you share with us, being Christian myself, you show me how my faith is celebrated in italy, and i love it. Thank you, Nicki❤

[@Haupialani]

That cemetery is so beautiful and well maintained, I've never seen an Italian cemetery.

[@mrinmoyeee5979]

I’m so glad that I found you on KZbin , your videos are so beautiful and soothing . 🧡

[@Sandy-zr5hs]

I felt quite emotional looking at the cemetery, it is absolutely beautifully kept by Carlo and team and such a special place for your loved one to rest 🌟 ...fantastic vlog Nicki, you are such a lovely family 💕

[@almahudson3892]

The cemetery part of this video reminded me of going to visit my grandfather when i was very little, to clean the marble, place flowers, visit other family members and have a picnic. Beautiful. Thank you.

[@MrKatieh]

Every Sunday, with my husband, watch Wednesday's and Sunday's episodes. My husband wanted to make a surprise trip to Positano in June, but it got cancelled due to the virus. Thanks to your films I know which caffes and shops I would like to visit - my favourite is the one with the porcelain 😊😉 hope we will visit next year, at least you can enjoy the weather, it's been raining in London 😕 for a few weeks now. I would be happy to read your writing 😊

[@PaulHorneLA]

The hedge cutting really made me laugh. Carlo is a freakin dream. ❤️

[@utahershey4053]

I would love to test read your book. I use to work at Harper’s BAZAAR in NY. As part of my job I wrote and I also proofed. Would love to read.

[@utahershey4053]

No. Is it out and available?

[@ThePricipleOfParsimony]

Nicki your videos are like meditation. What a beautiful way to begin the day. I've been under such stress the last while and I literally find myself exhaling half way through your videos. Thank you so much. Do you think you can do one daily? lol Kidding. Also, that model looked a little like a dark haired version of Sky...both so pretty!

[@tiagorman1553]

Your cemetery is gorgeous and quite a testament to Carlo and his crew who maintain it. Kudos for you for not only making the pasta but carrying it up all of those steps. 😊

[@Shaikah420]

Love everything you guys do at house, all the gardening, washing, cleaning, cooking & going home or doing things outside home

[@anna-mariaathanasiou4645]

Hi Nicki! I'd be happy to read your book. I'm a published author myself and totally understand the need for feedback, even after 6 novels! I'm a fast reader and will be honest with my comments. I read everything from classics to chick lit, biographies to non fiction. I faced a similar problem on my first novel, where I couldn't find enough readers but thankfully it didn't deter me. Happy to help a fellow author.

[@ajalynn6066]

Nicki, you write so amazingly well, your words flow easily and with interest. I would definitely purchase your book!

[@mariannesouza8326]

Some might say that you and Carlo have the better view. Ocean, sky, trees, garden and not another house in sight. Beautiful!

[@jgrady9553]

So much to enjoy in this video! The cemetery looked beautiful, lights for the souls and remembrance. I would love to visit during all saints and all souls.

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

What a delightful video...☕️☕️ love the All Souls’ Day explanation and All Souls cakes.. far nice than the commercialisation of Halloween 🎃 which we have now..All Souls a time to reflect and remember. I remember a early 70s fashion for freckles ..we would paint brown eyeliner in dots and then blot .away it leaves a shadow of colour..it works very well .. Carlo keeps the cemetery so neat and tidy ..but loved how he wanted a straight line on your garden plants...and keep the leaves off the lawn...he’s right they kill the grass.

[@margal3120]

Best last words of any video 🥰 plus the lighting of the cemetery is absolutely beautiful and the cross cookies you baked are endearing to the traditions 🥰 love this one!! Thank you

[@willothewispl]

What a warm and lovely cemetery. Looks lovely all lit up.

[@brendam5356]

Just a beautiful vlog.The lovely photoshoot a skilled makeup artist Carlo is such a witty smiley love you see in his eyes his love for you.Skye beautiful inside and out credit to loving parents Skye and Nicola share a loving bond.The cemetery glowing lights for the souls departed love when closing the cemetery gates crying out to all souls We are closing and maybe a visiting soul visitor Thankyou Nicki always a pleasure devoted from Nz❤️❤️😍😍

[@beeb5012]

Another excellent video. Love watching these. The cemetry is a sight to behold, how beautiful it is.

[@kit2130]

Oooh the bells ringing with the view was breathtaking! I also loved the lovely music around 7:45, so relaxing & sweet. I have an idea about the leaves! A broom will work instead of a leaf blower if you don’t like the noise. It works best when they’re dry! Another idea about your book is to maybe make a 2nd KZbin channel with a link. Read 1 chapter or so each video while sitting or walking where it pertains to. You’ll get a larger variety of feedback from the comments! I would love to read it but I’m not much into history so that might hinder my evaluation! If it’s anything like your videos, the tourism board needs to hire you! 😃

[@franbooth4075]

Dear Nicki, I was a reader for a Publisher when I was at Uni years ago here in Australia. I am now retired and an avid reader so i would be happy and honoured to read your book for you. I am not very IT minded so don't know all the tricks of cutting and pasting etc. but I'll do my best for you. Fran Booth Adelaide South Australia PS I have travelled extensively all over the world but have not been to the Amalfi coast. I've been to Rome and to Venice many times.

[@Smartgran]

That was so moving. Thank you so much for that insight into a beautiful and respectful tradition. X

[@annettewalter2273]

The cemetery looked so clean and pretty.

[@frannieb5203]

Incredible. I feel so honored to see the cemetery and the lights.

[@samanthab1923]

Nicki, It was quite funny to hear you say hey to Carlo whilst he was blowing the leaves. All I could think of was guys yelling Oi! 😂

[@neusaniemann7462]

Positano is such a magical place! I do like to learn about the Positano way of life and it’s traditions. Thank you for sharing.

[@janetlombardi2314]

What a lovely video Nicki your videos have to be the best i have seen on youtube so natural and inspiring. How wonderful to see a cemetery in such good order so much respect for the dead. Many years ago I visited a family member's grave in Naples at that time I thought how lovely to see how the cemetery was well looked after. Looking forward to the next video and thank you to all for sharing

[@normasolomon1189]

Thank you for sharing this video - I love your day to day stuff - and loved learning about this tradition ❤️

[@michaelmccauley8085]

Nicki, your videos provide us much joy and happiness. Hopefully we may be able to visit your beautiful city next year. You are truly blessed

[@vivianrivera-franco3851]

Loved every segment of your video. Thanks for sharing. 💘

[@carolinetucker8954]

Thank you for sharing the footage of the cemetery, it’s such a beautiful looking place.

[@phyllisbrowning9273]

Beautiful, thank you for sharing this tradition. Carlo and crew did a wonderful job with the lights. We love to visit the beautiful, well tended cemeteries when we are traveling in Europe. Good job with the pictures and videos Nikki.

[@Maldives2025]

that cemetery is so tranquil and well decorated

[@su-anemerald]

Found the last scene in the cemetery very moving . Was quite surprised, as normally , I wouldn’t actually. The music was very sympathetic and I love how respectful it is and how beautiful the cemetery looks lit up and the care taken to keep it in such a way . The flowers are gorgeous too. ❤️

[@valleyiris2254]

Great storytelling. No doubt your book is just as interesting! ❤️

[@florenceharkey7931]

If your book is anything like your videos it will be a hit! I enjoy your videos so much, I look forward to Wednesday and Sundays. Thank you for the all soul day history loved it.

[@berthasanchez6559]

Maybe I sound redundant but every video you make is so beautiful amazing with your voice and the background music are so in tune with the scenery and the theme of your video never seen such a beautiful cemetery and with that panoramic view it just blows my mind, you and your family are so lucky to live in such special place take care Nicki❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@phillipleboa5251]

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO AND CAMERA WORK !!!!! LOVE IT !!!! Thank you so much !!!!!!!

[@danasandlin2435]

I especially love the church's tradition of all souls and all saints days--a fitting bookend of days instead of the secular tradition of Halloween, which becomes all about candy and horror--instead of about honoring the departed--very beautiful tradition about honoring those who have gone before and those who did their best to live an exemplary life--thank you for showing these memory days to us...dts

[@irenemulcahy2495]

Such a beautiful video. Love hearing about the history of the customs and your baking. I can imagine All the Souls awakening for the lighting up of the cemetery its a wonderful custom. I was intrigued by the model needing to have freckles.

[@jacquelinebreden5729]

I don,t know how i do it. First again .. always love your videos, even if you are just making a cup of tea in your kitchen

[@annepierson3449]

Going by your videos I'm sure your book will be just as good. Please don't let the possibility of criticism ruin it for those who I know will love it and yourself. You can't please everyone all the time and while no one likes negativity I can tell you that from here in far away New Zealand your information about Positano and Italian life is so very valued. You make beautiful videos which I welcome so much🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕

[@kellytowers8506]

That made me laugh ‘why are you bothering’. I too love using my leaf blower to remove the dropped leaves- it always looks So much Better! And is very satisfying!

[@manuelapereira6692]

Carlo maid me laugh he didn’t like the way you cut the bushes lol have a blessed Sunday!!! love your dairies❤️❤️❤️😘

[@wendyramirez529]

Carlo really made the hedge trimming look so easy. It was hilarious when you went crooked. 😂 The dresses the model wore were all lovely. The cemetery looked lovely. We also celebrate All Souls and All Saints but not in such a grand manner. Families go and light candles on the graves of their relatives. The Sushi looked awesome. Haven’t had since Covid started. Thanks for today’s video. ✌🏽Have a great week Nicki.

[@ameem8791]

I just came across one of your vlogs yesterday and now I’m hooked. What a life you have, in which I envy 😁. I’ve never been to Positano and it’s one of my bucket list. One day, I shall be strolling one of the narrow corners of this beautiful coastal town.

[@virginiafeliciano9318]

What a beautiful tradition in honoring the loved ones that have entered into their new life. The love and dedication to preparing the cemetery we so touching. Wonderful Carlo! The hedging of the bushes had me in stitches! Great news that Sky tested negative and I love her photography. The apple doesn't fall to far from the tree ❤️. I am sure that you have received 1000 replies volunteering to read your book and I'll be 1001. I love to read and visited Positano for a very short afternoon in 2018 so didn't see much other than the beach and shops. Most of what I have experienced has been through your lenses. Stay safe and God bless🙏🏻💞

[@pomme800]

The cabbage and kale are doing so well! What a difference from the small plants we saw going into the soil a short while ago. A glorious winter garden🌿🥦🥬...and seeing you on the shoot brought back many memories...I used to be a stylist and it's so true that you have to be inventive with what you've got on hand...light and time is so precious on photo shoots. Loved the vlog, les beaux paysages, the beautiful cemetery, the baking ...it's as if I can always smell the air from here ! Love to you all....

[@lorrainebrown3536]

Absolutely the most beautiful cemetery I have ever seen! Thank you for 🤗🙏🇺🇸

[@kylielogan8771]

Your videos have been a godsend in these Covid-19 times, thank you 🙏🏻

[@orion8835]

7:03 explains so much of WHY you stay there with all of its arduous trekking up and down to get in and out etc. Fun to see the shoot and you at work. Fascinating about the freckles being requested. The cemetery and All-Souls cakes etc were interesting to see.

[@lwest5686]

Happy All Saints Day! Thank you Nicki, it is always a pleasure spending time with you. I know you're talking to a camera but you are always genuine and I feel you talking to me as I'm sure, we in your audience, all do. It would be wonderful to see the olive harvest. I wonder if Positsno olive oil is sold internationally. I would definitely buy some.

[@gaymeyer9471]

Hello from Hot South Africa I am so enjoying your videos. It's been a bit of a stressful new year and what a pleasure just to switch off and watch all that beauty. Thank you 🥰

[@svamandolin3546]

if your writing is like your vids, you are good. Genuine, honest, elegant and very soothing and entertaining. Thank you for posting these. I am a subscriber and will buy your cookbook later today. Made the Orange Fennel salad and was excellent.

[@paivitiitta1884]

Soul cakes, what a nice thought and I loved the celtic music! We in Finland go to visit the cemetry and light candles , I'll try the recipe for soul cakes , loved so much this custom !

[@judithricca6915]

Thank you Nicki for telling the Celtic history of Nov. 1st and 2nd; I am very familiar with the Catholic tradition.

[@semikaren]

Loved watching this. The beautiful grave site lit up at night, so peaceful. Writing a book is such a personal journey and investment of love and labour. I do think it is so helpful for others to read and critique the words you have crafted, not so much to be critical of what you have written, but rather to enhance and improve on content, style, language etc. Many years ago, I undertook an English with Related Arts degree, which included creative writing. I found it really difficult to write actually, as my thoughts never really flowed or transferred so well from my mind to the written word on paper. For all on the course, weekly workshops were the dread for many of us......handing over our precious work for others to read , comment and critique. In my humble opinion, work shopping really proved very helpful, and enabled me to see things from a different perspective ....a valuable creative tool to embrace and not to fear. Well done for completing your book 😊

[@nikimarkwick9792]

Am so pleased that I 'stumbled' across your channel Nicki, it's WONDERFUL ... a little tantalising taste of life in Italy ... you LUCKY thing. PLEASE keep posting. Love from (another) Niki x x x
