@@anna_m59 Influencers just show the typical tourist spots and usually put things in an unrealistic perspective. This kind of content from a local is much more valuable to discover the 'real' Italy. Sure, they can give some good advice for traveling as a tourist, but you get the best insight from the actual locals. Often the tourist destinations and parts of town are not where the actual Italians live and spend their time. If you want to really discover the culture, you need to go beyond a tour of the highlights and historical sites. The overwhelming majority of influencers don't really have any knowledge of the places they travel. It's just about money.
@@irene_italianI lived in Seattle for 2 years. The ferries there are exactly the same. I live in San Diego now. We don’t have ferries here, but there is more sun ☀️. It’s so beautiful at the Mediterranean coast! You have it really good. I love Italian women. Your eyes are even more beautiful than the sea 🌊.
This vlog is more authentic by a real Italian vlogger. My Family and I went to Italy last September 2022 and we really love it. I will be back someday in God's time.
That was easily one of the best videos of travel in the south of Italy. Thank you Irene e tuo papà. Also, please don't ever become or classify yourself "an influencer". You are much better than that.
As someone from China, a country tens of thousand miles away, Italy is but a paradise in my dream. And this dream came true during my holiday while studying in the UK. A trip to Palermo and Cefalu was honestly the best travelling exprience in 2 decades of my life.
@@irene_italiandon’t visit China 🇨🇳 Irine No good 4 u!! Keep eating a lot so ur 👃 nose 👃 getting longer 😂😂😂 Pinokio !! Don’t 4 get 2 eat everyday ur nose 👃 have 2 grow much bigger 😂😂😂
your video is ammmaazing, you have a wonderful talent. your story/video is beautiful, innocent and genuine . It is a rare piece of realness in an ocean of fake stories/videos we see these days. for a minute I thought I was watching an Italian film. The whole thing is absolutely delightful to watch, beautiful narration, music and of course the scenery and your personal story, looking forward to part2
Your video is quite good. My Grandparents came to USA from Centrache, Calabria. My grandfather arrived in 1901, my Grandmother arrived in 1912. She missed boarding the Titanic by hours because her ship did not arrive on time, (a good thing or I wouldn't be here) !
@@fabiogonzalez4000 Yep! Mom and dad are Italians. Proud to had been born in Argentina, however in my book that makes me an Italian o una Tana como me decían en Argentina and yes I love Italy as well 😀
We drove to Calabria and took the ferry to Messina. Such a beautiful area, all of it. People overlook Calabria and shouldn't. Thank you for your wonderful video!
So happy I found your channel today and am looking forward to part 2. You're so adorable and your dad is a very interesting guy who knows a lot about many things and remains curious, which is so important.
I love Sicily, one of my favorite towns is Taormina! I am an American and lucky to have Italian grandparents which allowed me to apply and receive Italian citizenship. We plan to leave in October to start looking for property. Your video is amazing and your narration is beautiful. I can't wait to see part 2. Thank you for such a beautiful glimpse of Sicily.
I am an American currently working on getting Italian citizenship. Once I have my Italian passport, I will need to decide where to live. My ancestors are from Puglia, but there is beauty and great food to be found in every region. I just discovered your channel and really enjoyed your perspective as a local. Thank you. I am now a subscriber and look forward to seeing more of your videos. Ciao e grazie mille!
I received my Italian citizenship and passport through, juris sanguinis 10 years ago and also looking to move to Italy. There are so many beautiful places in Italy and like you, I can't seem to be able to decide where to live. Going back in the fall to do more searching. In bocca al lupo.❤️🇮🇹
Lee Moraglio, like this young lady and her dad, me and my daughter have traveled Italy extensively! Even though I too am of Calabrese descent, born in Liguria, I can tell you that if you are looking at food, quality of life and amazing culture and music, Puglia is the best place to be! for you, if you still have family there, it will be easy to settle in!
@@gdionwood, thank you for your feedback and recommendation. Bari has a lot to offer in terms of weather, food, friendly people, scenic views of the Adriatic, and a lower cost of living. Lots of reasons to move there in addition to meeting my distant relatives. However, my biggest pause about Puglia pertains to its location on the boot vis-a-vis other towns and cities. I am someone who wants to spend a lot of time traveling around and exploring Italy by train. If my home base is there, won't it take me significantly longer to travel to all of the places i'd like to see if I'm living on the east coast rather than the west coast? It seems like Bari is just far enough away that trying to do a day trip to most of the towns and cities on the west coast would be challenging. Everyone has different goals, priorities, and things they'd like to do. For me, travel and sightseeing will be important, but I do want to have a home to return to in the evening. Thanks again!
My grandpa is originally from this area in Italy. I still have family that live here. I would love one day to visit. Thanks for posting this video I loved watching it.
I am in the states but my family is from ISCA. I was there in 2019 and loved it! Soverato was so nice too. You are lucky to live in a beautiful country! Please keep the videos coming!
Grazie Irene per il video, I hope all Italians realize how beautiful your country is. I'm Italian but born in Australia and extremely proud of being an Italian and our incredible cilture. I honestly believe that Italy has been touched by the hand of god.
Grazie mille bella! I agree with other comments it is great to have a local do a video of how they see where they live. It is refreshing your tour of Sicily 🇮🇹❤️♥️😘
We loved our visits to Italia, from north to south. You are 'pretty as a picture' and have a lively personality. With your father's knowledge thrown in with your ideas, you make fine guides. Sicilia was a highlight for us. Your video from Taormina and Catania brought the life and color back to us.
This was a wonderful travel blog from beautiful Italy, you deserve a lot of followers, you tell the story like a fairy tale. I spent 3 weeks at Secilia 2021, fell in love and will go back later this year, I think one day I want to move to South Italy. Cheers from Norway
Your video and commentary was amazing. Beautiful scenery, and the food looked so good, especially the cannolis. Big thank you to your Papa. Lovely family. Yes on a part 2
This is great, Irene. Thank you for sharing your family and your love for teaching Italian. I was in Italy last summer for two weeks but unable to visit the south. My birth father's city is near Bari, but we weren't able to meet any of the relatives this trip. Next year! And, a visit to the south is in order, definitely. Thank you, again!
Grazie Grazie! Your video spoke to my heart. I enjoyed it so much, very well done and beautiful. I grew up in Chicago in an Italian speaking home. My grandparents were from Abruzzi, and I miss hearing Italian spoken. I hope to see much more of you and your father! 💖❤️💕
Hi there from germany (berlin). You Italians have everything what we dont have. I dream of living in south Italy and playing guitar all day. But well it isn’t possible :(
I'm an old grandpa in Penscola, Florida, but I enjoy watching videos of other parts of the world. If I had the money, i'd visit Pompei. I would also visit Sicily since my aunt's father was from there. I don't remember what part pf Sicily, but he made the best brandy in the world! Thanks for the video, and I hope you make more.
I think you’re. Needed to be locked. Up. And destroy the. Key. And. Stop. Talking. Nonsense everything is coming out. Of. Your. Trap is bullshit stay. Put
I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in update NY in the USA. Seeing you reminded me of girls went to school with, although they did but gave your delightful dimples. Most of my friends’ families were from Calabria and Sicily, so this was very nice to see where they came from. Thank you.

STAI FACENDO UN BEL LAVORO … AUGURI , E DI NUOVO, GRAZIE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was fortunate enough to have visited Italy when I was in the Navy. I fell in love with the country and her people. I always thought that I would get a chance to return for a visit, but many years have now passed and I guess that I shall never return. Thanks for the video tour.
Wow... Loved your video my Father comes from the Province of Messina, my Mother from Catania and my Mother's Mother was from Taormina, watching this brought back many memories... thank you. Love from Sydney Australia,
Very cool video! I much prefer watching a local describe the area of a place with all the little funny things like the dad being in it. I would have my dad in mine as well. 😀 What a beautiful place and the sense of community is wonderful.
what a lovely video, Irene! That brings back so many memories of our holidays in Italy - yes life is much more intimate in Italy when you are off the beaten tracks. I would appreciate a second video very much.
Grazie per questo video. È esattamente quello che voglio fare quando andrò in Italia quest'anno - camminare per la città e mangiare del buon cibo! Voglio assolutamente vedere la seconda parte. Inoltre, non esiste una cosa come troppo vino.
I loved this video! You just got recommended to me because this is the type of videos that I normally watch. I only have one suggestion, I would love to see more videos but speaking in Italian, I feel that the experience is much more immersive that way. It is true that probably most of your watchers are foreigners but nothing like a local speaking their native language which is already very beautiful ❤
Very reminiscent of my childhood summers spent in a small village in Greece with my grandfather. I've been fortunate to visit Sicily twice...what an amazing place! Taormina was impressive but equally enjoyed time with Sicilian friends in a nearby small village on the northern coast. As a southerner from the US, I can appreciate your father's dialect as it is as culturally important as the art & food of that region. I love Italy & hope to make it back there sometime soon!
To be honest, where I live in the UK everyone greets everyone else, those who live here and those who are just visiting. Anyone will help you whether they know you or not. It is outstandingly beautiful and green. The local food is fabulous. The weather in southern Italy is hotter but here we embrace the seasons and all the unpredictability of them. I’ve been to Italy a few times and I love it BTW! and do go to Sicily if you possibly can.
A beautiful part of the world. Calabria is splendid. Your dialect is almost identical to mine. Originally from Sambiase. La mia anima è per sempre Calabrese. Mille grazie e buona fortuna.
Just found your channel! Wow! Incredibly beautiful Italy. The whole country is surrounded by sea. Your videos are incredibly relaxing and entertaining🙏 Subscribed !
I was searching for vlogs for small Italian town life by local people, I am happy that RUclips has suggested me this channel. Very beautiful place. It is even more better because of someone local making it. Keep making such wonderful vlogs about the real Italy we want to see far from big cities.
Life in South Italy must be a captivating experience! The rich culture, beautiful landscapes, and delicious cuisine are truly enchanting. I can only imagine the warm hospitality and vibrant atmosphere. It's definitely a place worth exploring and cherishing. Cheers to the wonders of life in South Italy! 🇮🇹❤
@@raisagorbachovma sono sempre meno che in America , con questi stereotipi l'Italia dovrebbe essere un campo di battaglia , sono tutte bugie , la criminalità esiste soprattutto nelle grandi città e composta principalmente dagli stranieri
Keep vloging! Brought back memories (2019): the ferry ride to Messina. (Thanks for the info about Crusades), the right turn off the E45 to Toarmina, the view of Etna, Piazza IX Aprile Taormina, the narrow walkways, Villa communal di Taormina, fantastic Ristorante Al Giardino and cable car to beach. My wife’s grandparents are from Vallefiorita, and Montepaone Province of Catanzaro. Keep making videos, you are good.👏🏻
Do you have a message to send to my dad? I can pass them on 😂 Follow me on Instagram to get even more South Italian feelings: instagram.com/irene_italian 🇮🇹
He is right of course about Etna being the largest volcano in Europe. Also, his reasons for enjoying Sicily are so true. My family is from Sicily. You seem like a great family and I really enjoy seeing the South of Italy. It's magnificent in so many ways. All Italy is. Excellent job.
I am 100% Italian, second generation, born in America. My father's family from: Naples and my mother's family from Sicily. I look forward to going to Italy for the first time! I've always desired to do so all of my life! I feel the time is coming soon! Irene, you have been an inspiration to me through your videos! Both you and your country are so very beautiful!!! More to come!
Che bello!! La mia famiglia è di Calabria anche, però sono di Irlanda. Sarebbe fantastico se facessi più video in italiano! Naturalmente con i sottotitoli in inglese, è divertente vedere la vita quotidiana in italiano :)
A really great video. Thank you for sharing the places of Sicilia and Calabria, the home of my ancestors. Thank you also for sharing the languages of the region and the delicious food. Buona serata 🌹
Irene, thank you for sharing your travel experience. I liked it, but I wanted to see more of the guys playing the instruments and singing. That was really nice. Happy Holidays.
Great video Irene. You’re not an annoying (American) travel blogger who overreacts and is overly emotional about everything. Very calm, informative and beautiful video
I've learned so much from your travel guide videos, and I love how you immerse yourself in each culture. By the way, have you caught wind of the new v4 Bento Bag from NomadLane? It could be a valuable companion for your journeys.
I wish only locals were travel influencers. This is the best kind of videos. subscribed for more!

@raisagorbachov And trying to make a loving there. You gotta pay off: Camorra, Ndragheta, La Mafia and La Santa Corona Unita'.
@@raisagorbachovma sono sempre meno che in America , con questi stereotipi l'Italia dovrebbe essere un campo di battaglia , sono tutte bugie , la criminalità esiste soprattutto nelle grandi città e composta principalmente dagli stranieri
Haven’t you forgot something?

Keep vloging! Brought back memories (2019): the ferry ride to Messina. (Thanks for the info about Crusades), the right turn off the E45 to Toarmina, the view of Etna, Piazza IX Aprile Taormina, the narrow walkways, Villa communal di Taormina, fantastic Ristorante Al Giardino and cable car to beach. My wife’s grandparents are from Vallefiorita, and Montepaone Province of Catanzaro. Keep making videos, you are good.👏🏻
Do you have a message to send to my dad? I can pass them on 😂

He is right of course about Etna being the largest volcano in Europe. Also, his reasons for enjoying Sicily are so true. My family is from Sicily. You seem like a great family and I really enjoy seeing the South of Italy. It's magnificent in so many ways. All Italy is. Excellent job.
My Great Grand father was from Naples . Parents from Argentina . Lots of Mediterranaen blood . ❤ extra virgin olive oil does wonders
Great video! This is the Italy I love... far away from the hoards of tourists.
The title caught me. Irene's beauty and her gentle tone brought me further into this captivating chamnel.
How beautiful trip!! Thanks a lot! The best: your father speaking in dialetto. Un bacio alla prossima!!!

I am 100% Italian, second generation, born in America. My father's family from: Naples and my mother's family from Sicily. I look forward to going to Italy for the first time! I've always desired to do so all of my life! I feel the time is coming soon! Irene, you have been an inspiration to me through your videos! Both you and your country are so very beautiful!!! More to come!
Sei davvero bravissima! Grazie mille per questa puntata ❤
🙏🙏🙏
So beautiful and peaceful! Your videos have a slower speed that I love. Well done
Fantastico, certo che vogliamo la "part two"!
Che bello!! La mia famiglia è di Calabria anche, però sono di Irlanda. Sarebbe fantastico se facessi più video in italiano! Naturalmente con i sottotitoli in inglese, è divertente vedere la vita quotidiana in italiano :)
I think it took about 10 minutes for me to fall in love with a beautiful Italian girl and her home country.
A really great video. Thank you for sharing the places of Sicilia and Calabria, the home of my ancestors. Thank you also for sharing the languages of the region and the delicious food. Buona serata 🌹
It looks beautiful, both the town where you live and the city in Sicily and nice cafe culture :-) .
Irene, thank you for sharing your travel experience. I liked it, but I wanted to see more of the guys playing the instruments and singing. That was really nice. Happy Holidays.
Irene my dear-my youngest daughter is also Irene- thanks for an eye opener tour of your lovely part Italy! Blessings you and your dad.
When wine comes in a jug, it’s a good sign to come again. Great video. Thanks for your snapshot of Sicily.
Sicily is so Beautiful I've never been but it is my Homeland. My Family left in 1919 Compabello Sicily but I'd love to go see it one day
You definitely should. It will probably exceed your expectations!!
thank you so much for taking us on a tour of your beautiful area and sharing your family! I enjoyed seeing it and your story very much!
Great video Irene. You’re not an annoying (American) travel blogger who overreacts and is overly emotional about everything. Very calm, informative and beautiful video
I agree. Some of them go to the most expensive tourist destinations which is fine. I would rather see the “real” Italy in the south.
Nothing better than a guided tour of Italy with a beautiful Italian girl.
Well done and interesting. I am in the US and just bought a house in Umbria to retire in. I can’t wait to visit your region. I want part two.
Happy Retirement 🎉
you bought a house in Umbria ?? You lucky man, amazing region & unique places, I'm not exxagerating. Congrats on you !
Amazing choice! Umbria is a must
I've learned so much from your travel guide videos, and I love how you immerse yourself in each culture. By the way, have you caught wind of the new v4 Bento Bag from NomadLane? It could be a valuable companion for your journeys.
