There's nothing that can replace the feeling of walking into Saint Peter's Basilica the first time. It's immense and breathtaking. I'm agnostic, so it's not just a Catholic thing. Come on, Michelangelo's Pieta in there! When in Rome, don't miss it!
Add the Sistine chapel to that! I didn't expect La Pietà to be that small though. Anyway, everywhere you look in Rome is magnificent. So full of history.
@@jrodayeoh I love Matteo, and his funny easy-going attitude, but I don't think he does his (and my) beloved Italy justice while being dismissive and flippant about its treasures, and advice about what to skip. This surprises me, to be honest. I hope anyone who views this as a 'must see in Rome guide' can also find a better source for visitor info. And by all means, Matteo, keep the comedy coming.
to be completly honest: for me it was underwhelming. the art and decor just dont make sense in the space. too much gold, too much clean marble, too much everything. this may sound super dumb, but the basilica is just overcrowded with ostentatious stuff it doesnt make any sense. what i can recommened is st maria maggiore (also in rome) or the cathedrals in ravenna.
Watch out Rick Steves we have a new tour guide in town! Between the hilarious and delightful commentary & the good eats traveling with you would be EPIC!
Matteo, are you my long lost relative? Lol. For real! Being Mexican and Italian (I’m not Irish though, but, my cousins, Trisha and Nick are. Plus, they’re part Italian too). Sailor Moon is my jam! When you mentioned Rick Steves, I thought of my Nonno. He loved watching him. In all honesty, when I’m having a bad day, your humor puts a smile on my face. Thank you for being an awesome entertainer! 💖
Everybody feeds the cats there!! All the surrounding neighbors. There's also a cat-sanctuary there, Torre Argentina. Anna Magnani also often fed and cuddled the cats there!
Literally every time I watch his stand up or any travel clips it gives me life lol if ur depressed or just feeling down n need something to cheer u up I highly recommend watching any of his clips he’s so entertaining 😂🙌
I am Rick Steves and here you can see Matteo in his natural habitat 😂 Joke, but the trues is, it is really nice to listen to you and see italy at the same time. Thanks for taking us with you
I enjoyed your walk through the Campo de' Fiori - I loved that place. And my husband and I ate at Osteria da Fortunata, where the lady was making pasta at the counter!
I thought the same thing about the spoons. 😆 The Coliseum is a bucket list item of mine. I would love to go see it. Thanks for bringing us along on your trip!
I enjoyed my time in Rome. We were on a tour and walked right in to the Vatican and the Coliseum. You crack me up when you show your sarcasm and start talking Italian really fast. 🌈
"La cucchiarella"!!! Matteo is spot on there! That wooden spoon is what my Italian husband (from Naples) would get in the kitchen and yell "cucchiarella!" when our kids won't stop trying to beat the living daylights out of each other. That word works like a charm I swear. 😂😂😂😂
It’s funny you mention the calendar, we were there in November and I brought one home for my friend and he loved it! Also, we stayed right by that cat sanctuary.
I had one a few years back and someone said it's actually the same guys every year. But I was in a line for something there last year and there was an actual Hot Priest right in front of us.
Lifetime straight dude that’s been married twice and has three kids(one adopted two natural). Matteo is the first person I’ve seen that would make me question that at all.
That cheese guy was impressive! And oh my god did I love your Rick Steves impression! I hope hope hope he sees it because it was spot on! You are awesome! I had a hard day and you made it so much better. I want take a vacation to Rome and go pet those cats.
I went to Rome this past September and saw so many of the things you had in your video so this was so gorgeous for me! Next time you go, there’s a little neopolitan pizza place just off the piazza Trevi that has a line two hours long on a Tuesday night that i highly recommend if you or someone you’re with likes a good buratta pizza. (I know I know it’s like a tour of Italy) Like everyone there the proprietor was beautiful and kind. Thank you for the memories and the tiny dancing lady!!
Eating a Neapolitan pizza in piazza Trevi in Rome is probably the most touristy thing you could do. Avoid at all cost, explore outside the immediate historical city centre if you're looking for anything at least a little bit authentic.
@@cescovan I mean if you're looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza than you gotta go to Napoli (Naples). Otherwise, nothing wrong with being touristy if you're a tourist.
Yeah and they also call it the typewriter because it looks like one. In general most Romans never really liked the Victor Emanuel Monument since the days it was built lol
I love Rome, people just eating pasta, wine, coffee, smoking cigs, singing opera in the streets and most of the historical sights are close, construction never ends and the Vatican is its own country but it's like the met on steroids.
If you have a "Gambino!" The guards will let you bypass the line for the Vatican,... they did for us and it was amazing, they even let us walk in places nobody else was allowed.
Is the restaurant at the end of this video Roscioli Ristorante Salumeria? If so, I sat at that exact table on my last trip. I love your standup - and these videos in a Italy, my favorite place, make me happy 😊
That grandma's dancing was so wholesome. She better work.
She better work! So Matteo❤😂
I referred to it as the typewriter or the wedding cake. They were very offended and derided Americans.
She's retired, she ain't gotta work for nothin' no more 😉
100% here for Sailor Moon references. The entire Moon Kingdom design is a big ol love letter to Italian architecture

I’m an atheist but no need to believe in god to admire wonderful masterpieces❤
@@Veronica_Boer Amen to that! 😉😂😂
I want Matteo to travel the world, this is so entertaining! :)
Agree! 🤣
I died at Matteo finally realising Catholic Grandma’s Bedrooms being what they are 😂
I’m trying to learn Italian right now so just hearing the conversations and having the translations helps a lot
Ok but he hit the perfect Rick Steve's smile right after making the most underrated punchline in Italy. 6:48
Watch out Rick Steves we have a new tour guide in town! Between the hilarious and delightful commentary & the good eats traveling with you would be EPIC!
@4:53 Irish children too! The “wooden spoon” was used as a threat growing up if you were really misbehaving 😂

I almost chocked from your Rick Steves impersonation! Thanks for making me laugh and for giving me ideas for my trip!
'Theres no emergency, they're just dramatic' XDD
We need a full Matteo as Rick Steves set.
"Gen Z, this is iPhone 13!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
6:52 - glad you found an Olive Garden in Italy. Your friend Nick will be over the moon.
pure italian blood... he pulls a perfect umarell pose when admiring the vatican 😌

Good Rick Steves impersonation! 😂😂 Haha - it IS time for an update. GIVE MATEO A TRAVEL SHOW.
Yo, Rick Steves is BOSS. I would pay to see you two do travel videos together 🤣🤣🤣
The Rick Steves impression is so on point 😂😂😂😂😂!
That Rick Steve's impersonation was spot on!
No, he didn't say the guy's name correctly.
Of course that roman guy suggested you to sell real italian parmigiano at New York. Love that
The camera work is exquisite on this one! 💓 Reminds me of those new airbnb commercials? Hope that's a compliment lol love your vids Matteo
You Go Girl💃Just Fabulous!!
Clicked expecting an “ok” travel video. Got the most hilarious tour of Rome with a really excellent host! Love it!
That little dancing lady is likely feeding the cats.
The weapon of choice for my Irish mom was also the wooden spoon lol
Love all your stuff Matteo can’t wait to see some more stand-up comedy. Please come on tour in Australia 🇦🇺❤️🧡🧡💛💚 🙏🏻
@hafizzifah1737 Sportman Hotel, Spring Hill
This is great! Comedy travel show 📺 🗺️
I thought the same thing about the spoons. 😆

You're literally morphing into Liza and I love it ❤
I live in NYC too. Thanks for sharing your trip to Rome.
I LOVE these travel Vlogs

Love it!!!! Rick Stevens!!!! I love his shows, but you nailed it. You crack me up Matteo!!!
That cheese guy was impressive! And oh my god did I love your Rick Steves impression! I hope hope hope he sees it because it was spot on! You are awesome! I had a hard day and you made it so much better. I want take a vacation to Rome and go pet those cats.
I'm voting for Matteo having his own reality show!! :D
Chris‘s throwback Thursday Moment so cute 😁
I was just in Rome, and papa benedictus died when we landed and they buried him on our last day there lol
Spooky 👻
Came more often then...

COSMIC MOON POWER!!
"here I'm standing in the night...
My crescent wand, The only Light"
One of my favorite cities. The absolute BEST food hands down!
Every region in Italy have their own BEST food. Really.
LOL the Rick Steves impression killed me.
THE RICK STEVES IMPRESSION. I screamed
I want a second part. And a third one. And maybe also a fourth one.
“Btw there is no emergency they’re just dramatic” - Italy in a nutshell😂
“You may have the universe if I may have Italy” Giuseppe Verdi 🇮🇹
I seem to remember Romans calling the Victor Emmanuel Monument the "Wedding Cake". And the PBS tour guide is Rick Steves; and he's a drip.
Yeah and they also call it the typewriter because it looks like one. In general most Romans never really liked the Victor Emanuel Monument since the days it was built lol
"That child is old enough to drive"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
La mia Città ❤ Tanto casino e tanta arte. Vederla con i tuoi occhi mi ha fatto sorridere! Grazie Matteo 🇮🇹
That is Definitely somethng Bob would wear! Y'all are friends for real!
I love Rome, people just eating pasta, wine, coffee, smoking cigs, singing opera in the streets and most of the historical sights are close, construction never ends and the Vatican is its own country but it's like the met on steroids.
I gasped when you started talking about Sailor Moon!
Take the Skip-The-Line Tour!! Shorter, but with a guide and earphones. I'm still getting over seeing the McDonald's in Vatican City!!
matteo lane italy videos >>>
Matteo standing in the colonnade saying "lotsa columns" got me laughing and that's how you know I'm a fucking nerd
“I feel like a Kardashian” 😂😂
thanks for representing both sides Matteo!!! #HotNuns
The Rick Steves impression is hilarious. I'd really watch Mateo do travel shows
ODDIO that pasta at the end had me salivating. Was it better than Olive Garden?
6:54 Nick suddenly pays attention!
Steve's.. poor Rick 😂😂😂😂
"we were on a date" lololol
YES!!!! I almost bought the Priests of Rome calendar when I was there to give to someone for Christmas. I soooo regret that decision.
That cat sanctuary probably has the least rats and mice in the whole of Rome.
I ‘am watching from Italy and I can stop laughing!😂
Best Rick Steves impression ever!!!!
Can't get enough of this guy 😍
6:10, sailor moon
He vacuums his cheese?...which reminds me its time I vacuumed my fridge.
I’ve watched every Matteo Lane video on the internet. Here I am. Sigh.
Same old obligatory pasta dish at the end. 😂
More vlogs 🤣🤣🤣😊😊😊pleaseee
That pasta though!
Found this more entertaining than I expectec
If you have a "Gambino!" The guards will let you bypass the line for the Vatican,... they did for us and it was amazing, they even let us walk in places nobody else was allowed.
What is a gambino? I don’t understand and I am Italian ahahahah
I learned literally nothing about Rome while watching this video, but I had fun doing it 😆
At least you know the gay bar, is across from the Coliseum. now you know.
Wow it really films like I'm there! Best tour guide ever!
You know Rick Steves is a famous stoner. That's why he so mellow and eating hella delicious food.
I love Rome. I cry every time I have to leave.
Oh for Chrissakes Mateo! There are other things on that damn menu!
How about a sketchbook tour? Would love to see your work Matteo!
THE GIANT TYPEWRITER
That's a new one.
What a nice singing voice. I want to hear more.
I have 5 of those hats… 😂😂😂
One for every Ralph Lauren shirt?
That was the best Rick Steves impression ever
I went to Rome a year ago and we had to be up at 6 am to go to every little tourist trap thing
Rick Steves honors Italy with his travel advise.
There’s no emergency, they’re just dramatic 😂 True! Often times either the cops or the ambulance turn the sirens on to skip traffic 😡
Is the restaurant at the end of this video Roscioli Ristorante Salumeria? If so, I sat at that exact table on my last trip. I love your standup - and these videos in a Italy, my favorite place, make me happy 😊
That IS very Bob the Drag Queen indeed
