@@TheGlobalExpats unfortunately my grandfather died before i was born. he ended up settling and living in New York. which our family moved from New York to Arizona in 1972. and that is where i reside now. i have never visited Messina but i would LOVE to. that's where my roots go back to. God bless you and thank you for the vids!
Thank you for being in our beautiful town (I am from Messina). Some people use to think that we have not much; instead I can surely say that my town is a quite nice place. I also hope that citizens were friendly as they always are (that is one of the reasons why Sicilian people are famous in all the world). I hope you would come back again if you can. Although you didn't eat our tipical "Mozzarella in carrozza" (what you called "fried mozzarella"), I hope you enjoyed our city and, as a matter of fact, I am sorry you couldn't visit more places and monuments...we really have a quite number of it in our city. Nice video anf Thank you again :) Fabio.
hey! i'm going to study in messina this year and if you have an instagram account i would really appreciate if you give me some tips about messina or maybe we can just talk about anything😊
Oh how right u are!! I have family from Messina and it’s their last name. I’m from a different city but what we all have in common is our kindness bless u Amore
Thanks guys, as a man born in Messina you did an amazing job! You are a little confused about rustici and mozzarella sandwich. ANyhow, please, if you will ever be in messina again, let me know and I will let you know where to go and I would love you to be my guests if I am in town (I live in US)
Thank you for your kind words, Rodolfo! Yes, a few people have been helping us figure out how to get the mozzarella sandwich, so hopefully we will try it soon 😅 And thank you so much for your offer, we will be sure to contact you when we visit Messina again - we will have to cross the straits by ferry soon! Matteo is obsessed with the story of Messina and it's special place in history! What part of the States are you living in? 🇺🇸
@@TheGlobalExpats it is my pleasure! The story of Messina is incredible; if there will be the chance it will be my pleasure to show and tell more about it. I currently live in Minnesota. Far from Caribdis...
I was born in Messina, I’ve lived ther for 21 years. Rustici is a category of street food: arancini, mozzarella in carrozza (the deep fried mozzarella sandwich), san daniele, cartocciata, pizzette, pidoni and focaccia are all rustici.
I discovered your travels through Italy during Covid lock down. They are such a great escape when we are stuck at home. I have been to Messina and the clock is absolutely amazing, considering it's age and the mechanics in it's build. I especially love it when it plays Ave Maria and the little church rises. I love the animals and the rooster that rotate. My grandfather used to talk about that clock so we made sure we went to see it when we went to Italy. Keep up your great travels and enjoy. Sydney Australia.
Hello I'm from Messina, you should have also gone to Torre Faro and Ganzirri which are two beautiful districts of Messina in front of the sea, there are there also two lakes and a wonderful nature reserve. Congratulations for the video, you are very nice :D
When I was in the Navy I visited this city, I met a girl named Graciella Cambria (Brunette) and her friend Anna. I had a good time getting to know them, me and Graciella really hit it off, that was back in 1989. To this day I still remember her. I remember one night I walked her home walking up those hills, we said good bye and then I could not remember how to get back to my ship, it was midnight and it started raining, I had to look for water to get my bearings and ran back to my ship. Beautiful city, I plan to visit again.
“Rustici” is the category of food which includes: arancini, pidoni, focaccia but what you were looking for is called “mozzarella in carrozza” and it is a rusticò like arancini and others.
Damn you two! Whenever I went into a bakery in Italy last time I was there, I would ask "Avete qualcosa con ricotta?" and always was given something delicious. I happened to watch your latest video first, dessert overload, and now I'm starting at the beginning and will follow your road trip. As if I don't have enough RUclips to watch and am always trying to lose weight - maledetto!
😂Thank you for your support Nina, we love having people with the same passion on this journey with us! Hopefully, we can enjoy a ricotta-filled treat together in Italy someday soon... and It's ok, as long as we walk it off 😜 🇮🇹
We have a question for Meshea and that is where did you get your necklace from it is so pretty according to my wife. She wants one just like it, would you mind sharing the information on your gold necklace please, thanks. We love your road trips and appreciate learning all about Sicily.
I don't really know how many under this video are from Messina, but anyway, I come from the province of Messina (I live in a town in the area), consequently I am from Messina. Ask a person from Messina what he thinks of this city and he will answer you with the biggest insults possible. (Bad management, bad bureaucracy, good mayor, but hated by bad citizens) As an essay said "One thing is good in Messina, the arancini". The "Rustici" are practically any type of fried food that can be eaten by hand. Fried potatoes, arancini, pidoni, and mozzarella in carrozza (Which actually isn't consumed as much in Messina, or at least, not as much as arancini and messinese focaccia). The dirty streets you have come across are only a few of those in Messina. A great example of bad bureaucracy are the famous sheet metal shacks of Messina, present due to the 1908 earthquake that completely destroyed the city (The few buildings that remained intact were inexplicably demolished by the police present to deal with the damage). About the "Bridge of Messina"... please don't talk about this. It's an idea from the 1950's, the problem is not ecologic, but economic. The money had to come from the north of Italy, and.. well, they will not come. With the covid problem and the EU economic support they say "We will make the Messina Bridge!"... i hope.
Rustici is a generic term for fried or baked finger food you can find in a rosticceria and it included arancini and mozzarella in carrozza among many others like sfoglia san daniele and pitoni....you were looking for mozzarelle in carrozza but i suggest you also try pitoni....the traditional once with anchovies...
So glad i found you! I've been watching all your videos all weekend. These are so informative but also so entertaining! You guys are fun to watch. Thank you!! PS where did you buy that awesome yellow skirt!!! :)
I m from Messina and you were looking for mozzarella in carrozza! You should have visited the northern area of Messina which for me Is the greatest: torre faro, ganzirri... Antway very good job! Greetings from a messinese Who now live in North Italy!
@@Theharpsabu Ristorante marina del nettuno is a nice restaurant with a view to the port! in the centre you have only this one otherwise you need to move to the northen part I mentioned before
@@TheGlobalExpats. we have been to Palermo, Mondello, Taormina and Catania… We have ferried on the Strait of Messina. We had 3 week around in Sicilia. Now we are Tropea in Calabria. So beautiful
Rustici is like a category so like fried stuff. If I were to go and get some rustici I would get a mix of different types of rustici the main ones are Foccacia , arancini and mozzarella in carrozza which is not a sandwich
Aww thank you so much kgosietsile, you’re so sweet 😅 we have just started road tripping through Italy, so we’ll be here for at least a year & a half, but we will definitely be back in South Africa sometime in the future! 🤗
You cannot really visit all of Messina in one day; not if you wish to explore Tirone, go shopping and walk up to the Sacra Re. There isso much of Messina that's off the beaten track but within walking distance.
Awww, y'all are so sweet. Going to Via Palermo is getting into the down n dirty reality of Messinese living for sure. I hope you stopped short of Viale Giostra. 😊
So interestingly enough I watch the Sicilian news on RUclips and they are always talking about their trash problem. I can’t exactly understand why they can’t get trash picked up but there are mounds of places where people just dump trash because they can’t seem to take it to the right place or something. So that was authentic Sicily that you found in that alley. Also I’d love to go inside of some of the churches with you if you ever go inside please share!
They do in the tourist areas unfortunately the government has never liked our amazing island and the more south u go the more disrespected u are! They don’t see us as true Italians hence why we wanted to stay independent and the last to joint the Italia county yet we are mostly more northern then northerners (mostly) dna wise! It’s sad when they won’t pick up rubbish for months on end but north Italy is becoming the same due to who leads us!!! Unfortunately!! The greats have said to not visit Sicily is like not seeing Italy at all! So that’ speaks volumes
New subscriber here. Y’all are hilarious. It’s nice you drink beer and eat good food and have fun! So tired of all the wimpy coffee drinking hipstertubers
Hahaha thank you, that means a lot to us! We decided that being ourselves is probably the best way to make a video.. and we definitely don’t want to be seen as ‘hipstertubers’! 😂
I hope there come a Africa europe Messina border with A bridge or a tunnel should be nice when im there i can going to africa egypt that should be cool
Messina, in reality, is a city where it's not worth any of your time. The cracked, run down streets and gloomy, dying vibe of a town that's authenticity was destroyed years ago in a massive earthquake and is slowly dying again due to economic troubles. My cruise ship stopped there for 2 days because of a storm. If you ever have to dock here, just go straight to beautiful Taormina, you won't miss anything interesting.
