A tour of the village where we bought our Italian villa to renovate. The village is almost untouched and filled with hidden passageways and paths, and full of surprises. This was filmed on the 27th of June 2020.

Spent 1980-86 in Gaeta Italy (age 10-16) travelled all over the place while there, Tuscany is beautiful. The treasure hunter in me is going crazy looking at all those old ruins, I remember my dad diggin Roman coins by the handfuls when we lived there.

HI Metal, there is history everywhere you look in Italy, and so much of it is untouched! Maybe I should get a metal detector!
@ciaobella89634 жыл бұрын
Let me add that in medieval villages (I live in one too) the slopes on the passageways were built with stones buried sideways that functioned as steps. Hard to describe. The lumpy bumpy way the stones were laid was to ensure good foot grabbing for people and to make the passageways easier for animals to manage, to get them to and from the cantinas (under the volte/archways). It is clear that over the years, Guinadi residents have paved over those ancient steps to make the sloping walkaways which are MUCH easier to traverse.

Welcome to Guinadi ! My family has been here since, I don't know but a lot of time ! We have two houses and one was in the same state as yours (with the " chestnut room ") with no first floor, my parents had it renovated and know it's very beautiful. We live under the vault (19:05) at the end of it. We'll be here by the very end of July (like all the others), maybe we'll meet ! Oh and if you don't know what to do about the damigiane (the wine containers) we would like to take some ! So happy to see people like you renovating and taking care of those old houses. :)

I was born in London but my parents emigrated to Canada when I was a small child, a few years after WWII. Maybe the house this KZbinr is renovating (he won't provide his name haha) was at one time part of your family property. The extensive cantinas indicate a lucrative agricultural income for that previous home owner, not to mention the prestigious loggia with columns, high ceilings, end-of-via position, and other architectural artifacts. Maybe you can research it more and find out. It would add to the existing richness of your family's history don't you think?

Thank you for a wonderful tour of the village! Walking around the villages near my house is one of my favorite hobbies! I'm waiting on someone down in Rome to process my petition for a reciprocal amateur radio license. Once that arrives I will be able to enjoy another hobby. Until then I can't get enough of wandering around and looking at homes that were built in the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries! The locals are not overly impressed with the age, but it is very impressive to me. It's great that Italy has public services (water, sewer, gas, electric) in localities with so few residents. I saw a couple of post boxes on people's homes, and wondered about home mail service. Where I live I have only seen 1 letter carrier come to the street 1 time. The post office is only open for two or three hours each day. I'm always at work, so I've never seen it open. I won't go on and on. Again, thank you for the tour. It's great to see your village with sunshine. Have a wonderful day. David

The love affair between Britons and Tuscany started in the 18th century, when taking a Grand Tour to Italy became a fashion among British aristocracy. Young aristocrats would travel Europe for as long as a year to complete their education. Tuscany was a favorite destination because of its geography, historical significance and friendly Government. Some aristocrats bought "vacation homes" in Tuscany, some who were Catholic married into the local nobility and remained there. In the earlier 19th century a number of British entrepreneurs moved to Italy, they mostly lived in Tuscany, but some lived in Sicily whose Royal family (the Bourbons) was also friendly to the British.

With Nelson came thousands of British sailors and many entrepreneurs. One of them was a Scotsman named William Sanderson. Sanderson who belonged to the Minor nobility, landed in Sicily in 1817 in the city of Messina when he was wounded in battle against Napoleon. He founded Sanderson and Sons a company that operated until 1981.

That was a lovely tour, especially for those who have never been to Italy before, nor seen an ancient stone village in Comune di Pontremoli. The hillside villages of Lunigiana are special indeed. But let me say that Guinadi is not a small village by a long shot. It's a good size village and is well known for the community spirit, and activity there. It has a couple of restaurants, a community center, a bar and it used to have a small post office. But a few years ago, a lot of our village post offices were closed. At any rate, this is a thriving medieval village and a wonderful place to own a home. Well done! :-)

They are from Yorkshire, mostly York and my grandmothers family are Scottish mostly from inverness and isle of sky. Still have lots of family there and was so fascinated growing up listening to my grandmother tell me stories of back home. So just after 911 I sold up and moved to the UK for 7yrs.My mother fell ill and had to move back to the states to care for her. I use to visit France a lot and traveled all over the UK reconnecting with family and such. I always wanted to go to Italy and never made it. Your really giving me that itch again to see Italy.

16:30 Can't exactly read the inscription, but it looks like a plague monument (I'd guess even 14th century), with a votive Maesta (16-17th century) - this marble sculpture of Mary with Child was likely funded by the locals as a way to thank the "higher powers" for getting away from the pestilence. And, from the inscription (I can see "indulgenza"... "concessa"... "vescovo"...) one could figure out, the Catholics should believe that this image is miraculous and upon praying at it one can get rid of some years in the Purgatory.

Thank you for the most enjoyable walkabout of your pretty little village. I love medieval hilltop villages and have explored many in the south of France and Sicily.

Thanks for the little tour. So pretty and serene. You seem quite high up in the hills there.

Hi Louise, we're at about 600m, so fairly high I guess, but not for us because we live in the Austrian alps!

Love exploring old French and Italian villages, there's never anybody about. Yours looks lovely.

Hi Anne, actually lots of people about, I cut them all out though... surprisingly lively commune!

Great idea to show us the village, what a long history it must have. It’s excellent to see that at least a few people live there and some work is being done!

Hi Bea, it is a wonderful village, and is still very lively, just no so much in winter!

How beautiful! It was a journey through time, very old houses, a lot of tranquility, nobody on the way, a deep silence ... a place to relax and connect with nature. How lucky you are! I saw that he was well accompanied (with his son), great! Thank you for sharing this amazing place!

Hi Fatima, I did run into a few of the locals, but cut them out. But it is tranquil, and very good for the soul. The boy loves it here too! Thanks for watching!
