Ciao, Ricardo 🖐 and thanks for another wonderful video 🙏 I really enjoyed waching it. Montefalco is a beautiful, beautiful town and Gozzoli's masterpieces are absoutely impressive Great trip, thanks again, have a happy weekend!
Dear Ioana, always happy to read from you in the chat here! I agree, it's a special town.. One of the most beautiful I've seen so far I must admit. Umbria has a lot to offer for sure. Wish you a pleasant weekend and Grazie Ioana ✌️
Dear Riccardo I must say that this was such an amazing tour. I enjoyed it tremendously and was really excited when you took us along to see the Church of St. Francis, and the Museum with the beautiful paintings and artefacts. The Chapel of St. Girolamo and the stunning works of Benozzo Gozzoli was quite impressive. The cute and cuddly cat near the end was adorable. Really like viewing these incredible places that you visit.
Dear Lang, thank you so much, I say this with the greatest gratitude my dear friend. Today, when I was replying to you, I saw a little "icon" above your name, as a youtube creator I see now these and it says for how long we've been known each other... it says 11 months... incredible... almost 1 full year. Never met in real life but it's like we have in a way. The luck to live during these times I guess, where a video can connect people who have the same passions I believe... unthinkable jjust a few years ago. I loved Montefalco VERY much, it's one of my favourite ever towns I saw I must add... there was just something there which was truly captivating to not speak about the St.Francis' church of course and Gozzoli's art... just the alleys, the atmosphere.. something for sure. It happens from time to time in some towns and this is one of those for sure. Must be a fantastic life to live there I suppose
@@StillWanderer Wow I didn't even realize that we have known each other for almost a year. I believe the first video I came across from your channel was Barbarano Romano. I immediately was capivated by the enchanting, picturesque beauty of the town that I had to express my gratitude in a comment. You must know that as a child of 7 or 9, I became deeply fascinated and interested in places of Italy after seeing pictures of Etruscan artefacts, ruins and buildings of Pompeii, Herculeaneum and Rome. I first discovered these articles and pictures in an Encyclopedia about Italy in our home library. But of course through your channnel I've been learning about other interesting lesser-known places. Glad I subscribed to this channel and happy that we have become friends.
@@ACLang-hj9np dear Lang oh yes... Barbarano, remember it very well. Very pretty town. Indeed, a lot of time... A huge fan of Etruscan history as well here ) as you can see in fact... Most of my videos have been filmed mostly in their territory, north of Lazio and Umbria and South of Tuscany. LOVE that area very much and the Etruscan heritage. I would really like to thank you so much for the support given until today, I really wanted to stress on this Lang
Only in Italy can a town be small enough to fit on a hilltop yet have five churches and one chapel. Bonus points for the Fiat Panda at 39:12. Simply amazing to see that even the smallest, unknown towns in Italy have something that really takes your breath away. You never hear about incredible stuff in East Bumblefuck, Idaho, you know? But here, in Montefalco, you get this amazing art in a small chapel. Wow. Reminds me of the Cappella degli Scrovegni in Padova. God, I miss this country and its people.
Dear Hugo nice to see you again....ohh agreed on that panda, I still think a 4x4 version of the newer model is a little gem) still, never owned it before but always loved it. Montefalco is s stunning place Indeed... I was very very much impressed by the work of art in the st. Francis church...
@@StillWanderer Oh yes, the 4x4 version is cool as hell. If you ever go to Padova, the aforementioned Cappella is a must. To preserve the integrity of its frescoes, they put you in a temperature-controlled room until your body temperature and humidity reaches that of the inside of the chapel. In other words, no sweaty and hot tourists coming straight from the exterior. You are then allowed inside for something like 10 minutes tops, so that the air that you breathe can't affect the paintings. Flash photography is also strictly forbidden and they have a maximum of x visitors per day. They take this very seriously. I'm starting to sound like a tour guide for an actual italian... LOL!
Ohh the cappella degli Scrovegni... remember it...saw it many years ago. I wish I could go soon there too Hugo. It's truly stunning... remember its beauty and how it is preserved
I knew this would be good but it was beyond my expectations. The brickwork of multi textures was incredible. The museum is as good as any in Italia. Thanks for taking your time while filming.
Dear Ken, happy to see you back my dear friend. Surely it's not a super famous town but for me is one of my favourite ever... I found myself truly lost there in feelings and impressions. I toured around a bit after filming more... One of these towns where I truly feel happy to see if in their different "aspects"... Loved it anyway. Wish you a nice weekend my dear Ken
Gracias por tan bellos videos de la bella Italia, el país de las montañas, como siempre un disfrute verlos y recorrer con tu camara esas calles tan llenas de historia, me encantan, un gran abrazo desde México ❤🇮🇹
Lucyna, siempre feliz de volver a verte. Gracias y me alegro de que hayas disfrutado también de esta nueva gira. Amaba mucho a Montefalco. ¡Te deseo un buen domingo!
Dear Ivan, always happy to read from you and glad you enjoyed Montefalco... stunning town... And the church of st. Francis... impressive is saying nothing
These small and quite towns have incredible art and sculptures , they are really hidden gems . St.Augustine is well known for his philosophical theories . I am thankful for the moment when i subscribed your channel and came to know these wonderful places and enjoying their tours in such a beautiful manner . Amazing . Best wishes and a happy time ahead .
Dear Rajyashree, always happy to read from you 🤗 very happy you enjoyed also this new walk rear Rajyashree... agreed with you about St. Augustine and the hidden gems...I'm always impressed by these so-called "less" touristy towns....the ones people don't search for ... There's always something in each of them I discover while there even after reading before going. It's incredible as we are friends here for more than 1 year , almost 2 ...(!) Thank you as always Rajyashree.
@@vegavit2984 sounds like the two of you need to communicate. perhaps he's just as nervous about it as you are. is there any wise womanyou can speak with?
@@sharonlouisedoud9769 Dear Sharon! My work is connected with people and it always seemed to me that I understand them well. And now I see that this signor does not need me at all. But at the same time he ... for what?
Hello Riccardo, always the best, thanks so much for this complete visit of Montefalco, the so called balcony of Umbria, a splendid city and area. Want to visit Umbria, one of the rare italian region without coastline, the green heart of Italy... Hope longer introductions with drone and music or with only music.
Dear Romanes so glad to see you again dear friend. Indeed... Montefalco was stunning. First time I visited... Glad also the drone intro and music are appreciated. I'm thinking of creating a new composition only about Umbria soon. Wish you a nice weekend dear Romanes
Querida Yolanda, siempre es un placer leerte y saber que disfrutaste también de Montefalco. Gracias mi querido amigo y te deseo un buen fin de semana. Un abrazo!
Riccardo, Sometimes I'm in a hurry and don't pin down a comment but always a "tumps up". Indeed this is pretty charming town with beautiful surroundings. The Chapel of St Girolamo and Gozzoli's masterpieces are just breathtaking. They remind me of the Renaissance paintings I saw in "le Louvre" museum when I visited Paris. I enjoyed video very much, thanks.
Dear Esther, always happy to see you back again and Grazie as we say for all your kind words and for all your support throughout these months. Montefalco was an absolute pleasure surprise for me...first time I visited and I was impressed by Gozzoli's masterpieces as well... I remember that in the church, I decided to stop filming and stayed there a bit by myself to just enjoy it that way, without a camera... It's one of those places...
@@StillWanderer Don Ricco! Questo piatto è per chi ama il cibo naturale molto semplice. Ti piacerà questa zuppa, perché i viaggiatori hanno sempre un buon appetito!👧😺
@@StillWanderer Durante i miei viaggi nei piccoli paesi, ho conosciuto tante brave persone. Sono stati molto gentili con me e mi hanno persino offerto una cena fatta in casa. Sei d'accordo sul fatto che il cibo rurale sia sempre più gustoso del cibo di città? Ho memorizzato le ricette, ma sono tutte estremamente semplici. Il segreto principale sta nell'aroma unico della frutta e verdura più fresca. Hai mai mangiato l'uva direttamente dalla vite o un'arancia da un tralcio? È un miracolo!🍇🍊🍋🍏🫒🍅🥕🌶🥦
@@vegavit2984 D'accordissimo Vega, praticamente su tutto quello che hai scritto. Ultimamente pensavo di annotare i miei viaggi un una sorta di diario... tante persone conosciute, tante interazioni... molte volte smetto di riprendere e mi si avvicinano per chiedere della camera etc. Ho bellissimi ricordi che forse sarebbe bello mettere nero su bianco... chissà se un giorno riesco. Rileggere tutto fra qualche anno potrebbe essere interessante. Ah si si... mangiato l'uva dalla vite ma l'arancia mai ahimè. Mia madre ha "l'anima contadina"; un po' l'ha passata a me e a mio fratello; non moltissimo però) Ma il sapore del cibo rurale ..... come non essere d'accordo
Oh, another Umbrian gem. Another town to aspire to visit!😊The church and museum of St Francis of Assisi is beautiful, and the paintings in the chapel of St Girolamo have such beautiful colours. I'm so "jealous" of you, Riccardo, having access to all these beautiful places and art. Thank for sharing 🤗The pussycat in the office was cute😽 Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Oh btw, want to ask you, does anyone ask you what you are doing when they see you walking with all that camera gear? (Just curious)
Dear Geraldine, thank you and glad to see you again) indeed, I feel quite privileged whenever I can visit these places for sure, though I can't always film every weekend of course. But when I do I try to mix the travels somehow. Aha there in the museum I asked for its permission to the ladies and so they were ok with me filming but on the streets, sure many times I am stopped and asked. Some just don't care while others maybe wonder what "that guy is doing")) usually I make some friends this way, lots and lots of times I had to stop filming and we started chatting about the camera etc. A friend told me to start writing maybe some memories of the travels and put them in a blog or something... maybe... Wish you also s nice Sunday Geraldine 🤗
I have to re-watch the beginning because I am hand sewing a top and I kept pricking my fingers with the needle :/ That wasn't to far from Menotre Rainfalls
@Still Wanderer | Italy in 4k I think I need thimbles for 6 fingers instead of one 😂 Sewing 2 blankets together seems like a very good idea right now! Did you hand sew that or use a machine... or was it for a machine. I didn't quite understand what you said. Im sorry We just had a winter storm coming through, and we ended up getting 2 inches of ice. It cold here 🥶
@@jessicabey275 basically I had to see 2 large blankets for covering a large old agricultural machine from the weather elements. Used an automatical sewer...it didn't come good )
once my subscribed master invoked the streets alleys, broad as well as meter cage roads, in lighted bodies via digital media, similar intonations of yet subtler forms awaken in mental maps which never sleep renews a life in dreams!
Bellissimo meraviglioso video. Museo splendido. Grazie.
Ciao Francesco, felice sia piaciuto il video, grazie mille a te
19:15 incredible view..what a beautiful place!
Agreed Rich, stunning looking town / very charming
