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.)
Thanks Antoinette. We think that it wouldn't do anyone any good to not be honest and open about the good as well as the bad. There are already enough movies that make us see living in Italy with rose- coloured glasses. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 😀
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.
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.
Thank you for this video, Fiorella! What we like about the town you selected for your home is the fact, that you have the slower lifestyle of the countryside there. But at the same time you can enjoy the bigger towns at the sea which are only 30 to 60 min away. This exactly what we would like to have!
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. :)
Tuscany here, mountain village. It's the same here. We're looking for a warmer climate. The winters can be very cold here and long but the village folks are amazing. We feel at home and welcomed. My bad Italian brings a smile and encouragement.
@nancybelser4186 - I hope you're enjoying Abruzzo. I am currently in search of a property in Teramo/Pescara area. I like their proximity to the sea and mountains.
Thanks for your take on the rhythm of Italian Life. It meant so much to hear your thoughts on this and conveyed "the feeling of Italian Life" very well. This is what I'm looking for.
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!
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. One exception is that this town is fairly lively both in the mornings and late afternoons, with people out and about, strolling, chatting, in bars, etc. There are also concerts, community dinners, and festas throughout the year. And yes, mid-days it is pretty quiet. It took a while to break our old habits, but we now thoroughly enjoy the quiet break. Since stores are closed during that period, we simply partake in the same things that our Italian neighbors do: have a nice long, leisurely lunch and rest or tske a nap. Also, as stated there are larger towns within a short drive should we seek more choices. Within an hour radius, there are seven lovely larger towns with all the goods and services, arts and culture, museums and night life like larger cities.
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 😊
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. That’s what I hope for my self and hubby when we move to Italy (part or full time) Thank you!
What a refreshing video!! Most channels paint kind of a negative picture of what to expect when moving to Italy. But, instead, you are honest while giving a unique perspective of how to view things that may seem different or negative to some, but after hearing your take on it, it seems doable. Like, I was worried about getting bored after a while living in a small town, after the novelty wears off. But, all you need to do is think about it as a suburb wheteby you can simply take a quick train ride to the next city, or even country for that matter. Which is the biggest appeal for me, as I would never be able to afford to see most of Europe by living here in the U.S. Thank you!!
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. Anyway, I sent the link of your videos to Nicki Positano's channel since they were looking around for a house that does not have 500 steps, one day, I think they want to move one day in the future, just to have the ease of parking and getting their stuff directly inside their home instead of going up and down 500 steps, so you may see new folks coming to your channel since I mentioned it.
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.
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! 🥰🤗🌳🇮🇹
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.
I have seen your videos good job. Good luck in expending your channel. Canadians are out all year round. We are very active weather does not detour us. Glad for the information I was wondering where are the people,do I have to live in Rome to see anybody.
I didn’t see trevi fontana and many people and always wondered where are all the folks ? You narrated beautifully with facts ! If people move, Hopefully they can speak Italian and slowly assimilate and make friends with the families in the neighborhood!
I do understand why you had to review this with us and I will say I've traveled to Italy twice in religious pilgrimages and we went to the big tourist cities and I enjoyed them all along knowing this would be nothing I can afford and I have thought of smaller towns. I would appreciate a smaller town as long as I had access to transportation to the big cities if I felt so inclined to visit them as I would not be driving myself. Also I enjoyed how you mentioned that the people were of older ages and the young people are moving to the big cities, it's the same here in the States Thank you for this I appreciate it very much, have a wonderful afternoon
You're welcome Jocelyne. Many of us would be priced out of the bigger cities, plus many of us also prefer a quieter life, so these small towns fit like a glove. Most towns have bus services. It may take longer to do things but if you don't want to have a car at least you wouldn't feel isolated. There are for sure towns that are more isolated than others and we really didn't want that feeling.
Commonsense info for everyone to consider wherever you are. The key as she said, you get back what you are willing to put into it. Mainly your interactions with other people. Thank you for reminding me.
Hi, thanks for the content! Questions: what is the difference between the Internet connection speed in big cities and in villages that are being promoted by the state? How is public health and safety in these villages? All the best.=)
Excellent videos of great properties! Will you help find a property for an individual? Love the small towns, can you talk about the public transportation!
Hi Ric D. You can send us an email to rossinniandco@gmail.com About public transportation, most towns, if not all towns in Italy have a bus service. The frequency depends on the size of the town and the areas it covers, as well as the season. Is that what you wanted to know or did I misunderstood your question?
Hi fiorella, solo quiero decirte que aunque no te he escrito hace rato, sigo mirando tus videos y disfrutandolos. Me he dado cuenta que estas poniendo mas videos ultimamente, me parece muy bien, especialmente cuando muestras propiedades. te ves muy linda en este video, i like the look! un abrazo !
Hi Sagi. Just get enough information about the basics to see how you feel about things, but don't allow knowledge to overwhelm you or stop you from making a decision.
@@rossinniandco Thanks Fiorella :) it's really challanging to choose where also. what is the best way to know? how did you choose Molise? please don't send to watch another video lol
@@Sagi56668 Hi Sagi. This is the only way I can answer some questions as these have been asked many times and it's just not possible for me to answer the same question repeatedly
My family is from Pescocostanzo and it is a nice place, but too cold in the winter for me. Also, it is a little expensive due to being a destination for tourists and skiers in the winter…..I like the Italian small town way of life and I am looking for something further south… Ciao !
Thank you for your realistic, mature and balanced outlook and point of view. Forgive me my question, as you came from a more cosmopolitan Brisbane and probably be surprised by it but you sound like someone I can ask it. How do you think these small town folks would react to or treat people UNLIKE themselves, in general? Or people of color or Asians, in particular? TIA
Hi Fiorella. Other than likely the cheaper price of property, doctor recommend purchasing close but outside a seaside town like you did or directly in the seaside town (termoli)?
@@rossinniandco I didn't realize how many typos were in my first post, sorry! I am looking at potential investment opportunities in the Molise region, and would prefer to be as close to the sea as possible - Termoli is on my radar. The price of homes is probably cheaper inland versus in the heart of Termoli, which is an advantage. But I am curious to know the other advantages there are investing more inland in a place like Montecilfone versus on the coast in a place like Termoli. Thanks!
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.
When you go to Italy and other countries as a tourist, you tend to see only the most touristy spots and not necessarily the real country and town life!
It was noticeble years ago, ghost towns, uninhabited, older generations and inheritance is their last generations...well as long as you can be found in case of an emergency...yes no one is in a hurry from that lunch hour, something lacking in countries where work is nonstop...the best thing is to stay a few months to try it out...small towns can be peaceful and empty...it depends if you like crowds or absolute quiet..kindness goes far and it is essential
Molto utile. Una mia cugina, una farmacista, abita a Mongressano, un piccolo posto abitato di 3,000 persone. E` molto bello; la gente e` amichevole. Non so se io possa vivere li`., ma devo dire che la sua casa e` bellissima e lei ci tiene molto i concittadini.
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"
As a retiree in a living inside a fairly large American city , I can’t imagine my life getting more boring in a small Italian village. My ancestors moved here 100 plus years ago and I just don’t feel I belong here.
When I moved to Italy I had a list of requirements. No apartments, no street lights, not in a village or town but not too far out, and a big garden. So, that's exactly what I found, a nice old house with plenty of room, one neighbour who's 87 years old and her house is a safe 100 metres away, no lights at night, 5 km to town and 7500 square metres of garden. Perfect for the dedicated sociophobe. Oh, and of course absolutely no dogs, bloody noisy nuisances that they are.
That is what I always wanted but I am afraid to go for it. Many people I know bought beautiful cheap houses in Sicily fraction of the price in my country but I find it hard to take the plunge as you need to live on your savings.
I made a video about some of the differences between living in our small town and living in Brisbane, Australia. You may find it useful 🤗 ruclips.net/video/vVRKLHWL-k8/видео.html
@@rossinniandco Okay. That's what I was wondering. I want to live in a small town, but without a car, I don't want to be cut off from other things. So as long as there are busses, that's great. I live in a small area now with no bus access. That's why I asked. (I'm in the states, unfortunately)
Hi - I've been watching daily vids on Portugal Italy Spain for two years or so now. You video: FULLY RENOVATED FAMILY HOME in CUTE ITALIAN TOWN with beautiful floorings. MOVE IN READY €65K ITALY. Is the first perfect home I have seen, albeit it is big for one person. Priced perfectly. Now maybe I watch too many variety of You Tube vids because it seems my main worry is (call me crazy!), being too close to the many types of mafia groups infiltrating Italy and I don't want to be approached for buying a home there and getting a knock on the door for their "tax collection" money for protection purposes. Has anyone experienced such or is it mainly done to business people? I am wound very tight and know it would take a good deal of time for me to relax into a rhythm. For me starting out in a big city might be ideal, winding down till comfortable enough to move alone to a small town, like mentioned in above video you put out. For a single person its a huge ordeal and kind of scary yet exciting too!
Hi Estella. I haven't heard of any people having problems with with the mafia. Yes, of course they exist, but I think these days they have a bigger fish to fry and other sources of 'imcome', rather than trying to get a few bucks from the little guy. In saying that, if anyone has any other experience perhaps they would post it here since you asked? Thanks for watching 😉
That's right, and young people eventually feel the urge to discover themselves in a different place, whether that means going to a different place in Italy or the world
@@rossinniandco 100% for sure. Do you both ever travel to Switzerland? It is just north of Italy so not too far. Our latest video is about Switzerland.
My son was just married in Rome… it was spectacular, beautiful, breathtaking, but way too crowded for my liking… I can’t be shoulder to shoulder with people on a daily basis… I’ve been through too much in my life over the past 20+ years raising my three children alone and doing my best to mold them into good and respectful adults who can be benefits to society… I’m tired, no exhausted, so I’m looking for peace… close to the beach, smaller population, but not far from Rome makes Molise very attractive… I’m okay staying inside in the colder weather and I love being a part of community, which is how I was raised, so to be in a place where I can help others and it be appreciated is a very appealing touch…

That's so true.
Hopefully as people become more aware of the small towns they can open up their horizon.
It was noticeble years ago, ghost towns, uninhabited, older generations and inheritance is their last generations...well as long as you can be found in case of an emergency...yes no one is in a hurry from that lunch hour, something lacking in countries where work is nonstop...the best thing is to stay a few months to try it out...small towns can be peaceful and empty...it depends if you like crowds or absolute quiet..kindness goes far and it is essential
Molto utile. Una mia cugina, una farmacista, abita a Mongressano, un piccolo posto abitato di 3,000 persone. E` molto bello; la gente e` amichevole. Non so se io possa vivere li`., ma devo dire che la sua casa e` bellissima e lei ci tiene molto i concittadini.
What about when a home has NO windows ?
I don't think I understand your question

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"
Hi Guys! Subscribed! It's a helpful video for sure. Thanks so much. Also wrote you an email! Regards.

As a retiree in a living inside a fairly large American city , I can’t imagine my life getting more boring in a small Italian village. My ancestors moved here 100 plus years ago and I just don’t feel I belong here.
👍
We always talk about how our social lives are way busier here in this tiny town than back in OZ.
Thank you for being honest about Italy's population decline which is running at about 200,000 yearly
Thanks for watching
It's the reason why you will choose a small house...for tranquility
When I moved to Italy I had a list of requirements. No apartments, no street lights, not in a village or town but not too far out, and a big garden. So, that's exactly what I found, a nice old house with plenty of room, one neighbour who's 87 years old and her house is a safe 100 metres away, no lights at night, 5 km to town and 7500 square metres of garden. Perfect for the dedicated sociophobe. Oh, and of course absolutely no dogs, bloody noisy nuisances that they are.

That is what I always wanted but I am afraid to go for it. Many people I know bought beautiful cheap houses in Sicily fraction of the price in my country but I find it hard to take the plunge as you need to live on your savings.
I'm from a city/town in NJ with about 70-80,000 residents,i'm thinking this is on the small side,so 1,200-2,000 is tiny in this comparison
I made a video about some of the differences between living in our small town and living in Brisbane, Australia.

Are there small towns where you don't need a car? Where public transportation can take you everywhere? I want a small town, but I don't want a car.
Hi. What do you mean by 'everywhere'? Usually in any small town the bus will take you to towns nearby and the main city/cities in that area.
@@rossinniandco Okay. That's what I was wondering. I want to live in a small town, but without a car, I don't want to be cut off from other things. So as long as there are busses, that's great. I live in a small area now with no bus access. That's why I asked. (I'm in the states, unfortunately)
ciao :)
Ciao bella 🤗
Hi - I've been watching daily vids on Portugal Italy Spain for two years or so now. You video: FULLY RENOVATED FAMILY HOME in CUTE ITALIAN TOWN with beautiful floorings. MOVE IN READY €65K ITALY. Is the first perfect home I have seen, albeit it is big for one person. Priced perfectly. Now maybe I watch too many variety of You Tube vids because it seems my main worry is (call me crazy!), being too close to the many types of mafia groups infiltrating Italy and I don't want to be approached for buying a home there and getting a knock on the door for their "tax collection" money for protection purposes. Has anyone experienced such or is it mainly done to business people? I am wound very tight and know it would take a good deal of time for me to relax into a rhythm. For me starting out in a big city might be ideal, winding down till comfortable enough to move alone to a small town, like mentioned in above video you put out. For a single person its a huge ordeal and kind of scary yet exciting too!
Hi Estella. I haven't heard of any people having problems with with the mafia. Yes, of course they exist, but I think these days they have a bigger fish to fry and other sources of 'imcome', rather than trying to get a few bucks from the little guy.
In saying that, if anyone has any other experience perhaps they would post it here since you asked?
Thanks for watching 😉
So funny i thought your backgroud is Italian and your husband just Australia
We are a really mixed bunch 😄
Universal small town life: Small towns have less industry and opportunities and big towns have more industry and jobs.
That's right, and young people eventually feel the urge to discover themselves in a different place, whether that means going to a different place in Italy or the world
@@rossinniandco 100% for sure. Do you both ever travel to Switzerland? It is just north of Italy so not too far. Our latest video is about Switzerland.
Cool, Aden went a long time ago but I haven't been.
Are you guys passing through or will be there for a while?
My son was just married in Rome… it was spectacular, beautiful, breathtaking, but way too crowded for my liking… I can’t be shoulder to shoulder with people on a daily basis… I’ve been through too much in my life over the past 20+ years raising my three children alone and doing my best to mold them into good and respectful adults who can be benefits to society… I’m tired, no exhausted, so I’m looking for peace… close to the beach, smaller population, but not far from Rome makes Molise very attractive…
I’m okay staying inside in the colder weather and I love being a part of community, which is how I was raised, so to be in a place where I can help others and it be appreciated is a very appealing touch…
