- Hello everyone, welcome to another video.
Today I want to address an important, recurring question that many people who watch out channel have.
The question is: Why do the streets look so empty when film your videos? Or something of the sort.
I think it is a fair question, especially if people have never been to Italy, or have only visited on vacation and have been primarily to the main, touristy cities and areas.
I hope you enjoy this video, and that it clarifies your concerns.
For those of you who already live in Italy and know when I'm coming from, I would love to hear your comments and input.

People need to understand that Europeans live a much different lifestyle than say, Americans. Thank you for this info vlog🙂
Anyone interested in moving to a small Italian town would benefit by watching your video. Excellent.
Having spent time in Italy as a daughter of people who emigrated to Canada, I can attest to the accuracy of this. You have to understand that Italians are not governed by the rush, rush, rush mentality of North Americans.
For someone who never leaves a comment, I have to compliment you on the honesty, real life advice and humanity you bring to this video. Other vloggers tend to lightly push real estate, be super (overly) positive and skip over the hard facts. Keep your videos as lovely and realistic as you are Fiorella. The right blend of positive with the balance of life and its challenges does not deter followers but attracts them with appreciation for the message you bring. Wise and wonderful! Bravo.)
Well done, l live in a small town too and you did a great job explaining how things work. Once you get to know the rhythm of a town you start to get it, in winter people seem to hybernate but come summer everyone is out and about. Once again, great job. I live in Sicily.
First of all, oleander. That’s one big reason to move there. Also, olive trees. And bougainvillea. The food is also a good reason. Actually, I love almost everything about Italy and i can’t wait to move there.
I was born in Celano, Italy in 1964. My parents moved to the US in 1966. I wish they never did. Growing up without aunts, cousins, grandparents, and having very little money wasn't easy. Unlike Hispanics, I never got a day of bilingual education, so school was also a struggle. "not everything that shines is gold"
I'm half Italian, raised in Britain, and with lots of family and a holiday home in southern Italy. Everything you say in this video is 100% true, and important information for those thinking of moving to Italy. Especially true is the slower pace of life, and the importance of community and good relations with the neighbours. Even for northern Europeans this can be a shock. People think they want those things, but then some complain about how it is boring, or they have no privacy because neighbours keep wanting to be involved in their lives. These things are a feature, not a bug! But it definitely helps to be aware before taking the leap. So thanks for this very useful video!
After living abroad for a decade I just can't relate to living in the US anymore. It didn't feel like home when I moved back to the US and can't wait to leave again.
It seems to beautiful to be true. I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying it. It might take a while to wind down but once you do , heaven. Thanks for your direction 😊
Excellent You nailed the description of life in a tiny town. We experience these same issues with folks buying in rural Maine in the USA based on ticket price of a property without any understanding that rural life is different from the city.
We live in a village of 1200 in east central Italy.The beautiful explanation in the video comports with our experience in being part of the community for more than five years.
Thank you for this video, Fiorella!
Thank you for keeping us grounded in reality. For me this video made me stop and think. However, it made me want to work even harder to create my life in Italy.
Thank you, Fiorella. I think you explained this quite well. I really enjoy your videos as you are so honest and skip right to the heart of a situation. We found this same experience in our little village in Abruzzo, which is 1/2 the size of your town in population. The people are just wonderful and are so curious about newcomers. You are so right that you get back what you put into it. :)
Ciao Fiorella! I totally agree, of course! That’s why we call it La Dolce Vita…the sweet life! I talk about it often as well and love the fact that everything is slower, more in tune with nature and people follow a gentler rhythm. One of the best reasons for living in Italy in my opinion. Un abbraccio forte! 🥰🤗🌳🇮🇹
Terrific video Fiorella. I think it will be helpful to people who are considering a move to a small town, but it is also useful to those who like to explore smaller towns on their Italian holidays. Living in Melbourne, Australia, I have found it surprising that the small towns in Italy seem to be empty during the day and I have wondered where everybody was. I knew about riposo, but the towns were so quiet at other times. So different to here and in country Victorian towns. Interesting to know that the windows are shuttered to keep in the warmth.
Grazie per averlo mantenuto reale, Fiorella!
Thank you!! I like the idea of a smaller area but close to the sea. I like that because I think people are closer, not only proximity, but real friends- everyone looks out for one another.
Fiorella, thank you for this video, I enjoy watching your videos as usual and you are 100 % on the money, that is the reality of these little town, and I love that life and that is why I want to move to Italy one day, I keep saying that and I hope it happens and if not, I can always go for a 3 month stay with a tourist visa :) I love that the neighbors came out and helped you with some of garden.
