Love this video! My Familia is from San Vito Tagliamento and it brings back memories of my Nonno and Nonna. And yes Toronto Canada has a huge Friulano community and presence.
Quando abitavo ad Abu Dhabi avevo appeso la bandiera Friulana in camera: una sera, guardando il riflesso del nostro palazzo su quello davanti, mi son accorto che ce n’era una appesa pure nell’appartamento sotto il nostro! La citofonata è stata d’obbligo... ;)
I smiled throughout this whole video, Mary Jane. What a wonderful experience for you to feel a little bit of your home here in NYC. The food, the elders telling their stories...so fascinating. I know this was a special time for you...thank you for sharing!
Nessun goriziano e triestino pervenuti, ottimo 😁 a parte gli scherzi è veramente affascinante sentire le testimonianze di persone da più di 50 anni negli stati uniti che mantengono ancora l'accento. Mandi fantas

This video reminds me when in 2014 I was a visiting lawyer at the Northern university in Denver, Colorado. One night the dean invites me for dinner cause he wanted me to meet an Italian professor living in Denver for a decade or so. Went to dinner, introduced to this guy and we started talking. While chatting I started noticing a peculiar accent so I asked: where are you from in Italy? And he said: don't bother....it is a very tiny village in the far north east. Well, I said, Italy is all small villages! Tell me the name. And he said: I come from Buia.........OMG.....I am half furlan. My father is from Gemona del Friuli (Udine) where part of my relatives still lives...and Buia is a little suburb of Gemona!!!!!! So we started taking about the frico, the Ledis valley and all the furlan beauties. So, perhaps this is a small world....but definitely furlarns are everywhere!!!!! Mandi frus!!!!
My father's family is from Buia, and I've been to Gemona many times! My first time was as a child, not too long after the earthquake, and I still remember seeing the devastation and all of the emergency camps. I'm glad they were able to rebuild much of the architecture in the old/original style.
Conosco il Friuli per motivi di lavoro e anche se non sono Friulano, ho bellissimi ricordi di questa regione e mi ha fatto piacere guardare questo video con queste persone e i loro ricordi, perché ho sempre trovato un ambiente dove mi hanno apprezzato e voluto bene e dove mi hanno fatto sentire a casa. Grazie Friuli.
@@andreaghisolfi4614 Scusami, per ragioni di privacy, preferisco non pubblicare la mia città di provenienza, posso solo dirti che è a circa 270 chilometri poco più o poco meno. Buona giornata
OH MY GOD!!! I MISS POLENTA!!! Yo I lived in Pordenone (la città), and I went to the mall in Udine all the time! I also would go to Udine for Ethiopian food! I've been to Maniago as well! I was super excited watching this video! I love that they stick together no matter where they go! I can only imagine how you must feel. What city in Italy are you from? If it was in the PN province, I've probably been there. I miss Italy! Good times! Great people! Great food!
Really enjoyed this video of your visit to the FF club in Queens! I think I’m in the 1954 photo at 9:07 when I was 15, at the very back table at the upper right sitting next to my mother. My father is directly behind us sitting at the head table (he was an FF officer then; think it was “recording secretary”. I think he’s also in the 1936 picnic photo at 10:37 in the middle front row, wearing a tie. I grew up in NYC in the ‘40s and ’50s on the lower East Side, first 33rd and then 32nd between 1st and 2nd. My parents were originally from Buia and my older brother was born in Tricesimo (I was born in NYC in ’39). I knew some Furlân fairly well but have lost much of it through lack of use. My parents retired in 1961 back to Buia and I then moved to Texas, first to Houston and then to a small community north of Dallas where I am now in a retirement community with my girlfriend. I am widowed with two adult children. My wife and I so loved traveling through Friuli that, after her death in 2001, my daughter brought her ashes to Buia and scattered them on a particular hilltop near Buia that she enjoyed so much. Having traveled extensively throughout mainly Europe, I still think the Friuli region near the mountains is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Al ere un plaĵe di viôdi les videos de Mary Jane. Grazie! Fuârce Friûl! (forgive me for butchering that beautiful, expressive and colorful language!) Bob Desiderato Denton, TX
Ah this is amazing!!! In the Famee Furlane website I read "The area from 37th Street to 23rd Street, between 1st and 3rd Avenues was known as “Piccolo Friuli” at the time and early meetings were held at Marchi’s Restaurant on 31st Street." So you grew up right there! Also Buja and Tricesimo are very close to where I come from and where my entire family still lives. It's nice to hear you and your family are so attached to Friuli and you still remember some Friulan. I send you the best greetings!
Thanks for your kind response. I now remember the name of that hilltop in Buia; think it's called Monte and there's a church there also. On another matter. I used to note that there were subtle differences in spoken Furlan depending on where the speaker came from. My father used to joking call residents from the other side of the Tagliamento "ajins" or something like that. (Gee, I hope that's not overly insulting or derogatory! - I don't really know!)
@@robertdesiderato8664 Yes, Monte di Buja. You’re very much right there are many variants of spoken Friulan and on the left side of the river Tagliamento we tend to make fun of how the people talk on the other side of it, since it’s quite different.
Nice video! I had 2 Veneto´s grandparents and 2 Friulian´s grandparents who emigrated to Argentina after the First World War. Many Friulans also came here. Thanks Maria for sharing these stories!
My brother sent me this video, and I was amazed to see my grandfather in the 1936 photo! According to my father, he was an officer in the club. My family emigrated from Buja/Buia to NYC in 1928.
WOW!!! You truly recognized your grandfather? I wish I would have shown those pictures a bit better in the video now. So glad to hear your story. I come from very close to Buja! :)
Once again your video has made me very emotional. I was thinking of the old world, WW2 and their struggles. Franco was so ready to tell those stories as if he was telling it for the first time :D I was either crying or smiling and in awe throughout most of this video. They had some fascinating stories to tell. The nostalgic feeling induced by the wonderful music. I feel a deep connection to Italy. Great interviews. You really captured the entire place very well.
I'm glad you enjoyed the vibes. Most of the people at this age are ready to tell sensational stories and that's one of the many reasons I particularly enjoy the company of elderly. Here in NYC I'm missing that interaction because, especially in Manhattan, the population is very very young.
I'm coming over to NY soon,with my Mum. I lost my Dad last May,& miss him so much. He was born in Riese Pio X,which I don't think is too far from Friuli. Would love to go to this club for dinner one night & to meet these beautiful people who grew up in the same region as my Dad. Would be so comforting for both my Mum & myself.
Grazie per questo bellissimo inaspettato regalo, la mia mamma era friulana e anche il mio cuore lo è, ci ho trascorso la mia infanzia e ci vado sempre volentieri. Ho condiviso il video con le mie cugine e anche per loro è stata una bellissima sorpresa. Un saluto a tutti i Furlans, w il Friul!♥️♥️♥️
Mi ha scaldato il ,cuore questo video il senso della comunità soprattutto per chi e dovuto o è voluto emigrare è impressionante. Solo a guardare il video mi sono sentito a casa. Un abbraccio enorme ai nostri connazionali a new York vi prego mantenete i fuochi accesi!!
Fantastico pezzo di storia, ogni volta che a New York sentivo parlare italiano mi sentivo molto più vicino a casa. Con questo video molti ricordi sono venuti a galla!
Veramente emozionante....mi é scappata una lacrima....un abbraccio a tutti i friulani nel mondo, non dimenticate mei le vostre origini, tanti saluti a tutti da Latisana...fuarce Friul
I love the friulian accent. You should come to Argentina. Here we have a lot of Friulians asociations. Siamo molti calabresi ma avevamo anche Friuliani, Napolitani, PIemontesi, e da tutti le parte dell'Italia. Io ad esempio sono nipote di una calabresa, ma ho degli amici Friuliani. Baccene grande.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video ! It was fascinating to listen to some of the older members that came to US after the War .. they are the last living link to the world changing events of WW II. The club looked very nice inside and the food delicious, so this club still must have a good sized membership. Sadly ,many of these clubs can no longer attract younger members to carry on traditions . Club President Marcello looks WONDERFUL for being 90 years old ! He could easily pass for a much younger fellow 😉 Hope you can visit again and perhaps become a member ! 🌹🥀🌷🙂
Hi Mary Jane, glad you got to meet some of your regional country folk, but I have a question. If you had no clue beforehand, who these people were, do you think that you'd somehow be able to tell, that they were originally from your region?. I'd be curious to know as to what might distinguish them from other Italians?, and especially after having lived for a long period in the United States.
I have an uncle living in Canada, he's 95 now (but still drives, you wouldn't say he is more than 80 years old), who is originally from a small town of of Friuli...and when he speaks Friulan it's so funny because of the strong american accent...by the way, Frisanco and Poffabbro are two nice towns and there's some very nice hikes you can make from the area (e.g. Mt. Raut)
omg non sapevo fossi friulana anche tu e non avevo idea esistessero dei club di friulani in giro per il mondo! spero tu possa tornare qui il prima possibile, mandi mandi 💗:)
It always amazes me the number of stories that older people have. All of the history that they have to tell. And to think most of them will never have their history recorded in any way.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Wow, it's really sad that anyone would mock that, although frankly I can't say it's surprising. What a terrible attitude. Without generalizing too much, the elderly tend to be ignored and discarded by this society if they are no longer considered useful, and it's maddening. In the Latin culture that I come from it is not like this. My comment was about the fact that the history of people's lives, wherever they are from, are rarely recorded in one way or another for posterity. It's staggering how much history we lose out on because of this. Old people often have such fascinating life stories, and your video is evidence of that.
A lot of northern Italians made their way over in addition to the southern immigrants from Italy. My father was one, representing Pordenone as well and he can still speak his dialect proficiently!
My father in law was from Regalbuto in Sicily ... they formed a credit union in Brooklyn in the 60s.... lots of Italian immigrants got their first loans at the credit union. He also lived in Catania.. he fought for Italy but his brother fought for the USA IN WWII.
Wow This Is Amazing, My Wife Use To Make Polenta With Beef Stew. When Fried And Spread Some Gorgonzola Cheese On It And Enjoy! New York Is Truly A Focus Of All The World's People! Great Video!
Looks like you had a wonderful time. I'm so happy for you! As an Italian-American, who through a series of events, has lost the link to his Italian heritage; I can only imagine how you must have felt. There is no place like home...and I'm very glad that you were able to find a little piece of it here. :)
Nice video ! It’s always amazing find people from your same Region/country... you can feel at home also if you are in another part of the world! I was in a meeting with italians here in Denver... was amazing ! I appreciate your video and I think is a good method for improve my terrible english 🤙🏼🤙🏼
My family's heritage is Calabrese. It's so nice to see Italian communities still getting together in NYC, even if it's not my own. There used to be so many Italian families in NYC & they had to fight for so much recognition & support because they didn't get much respect back then. When Fiorello LaGuardia became the 1st Italian mayor of NYC, the Italians were so happy & many people liked him as a mayor. Same thing for Cuomo Sr. He's the son of immigrants. But now most Italians have either moved back to Italy or to Long Island, Westchester, or NJ because due to the change in demographics, they started to feel underrepresented or they just wanted to move to the suburbs & be a part of the rising middle class. So now there's not many of us around these days.
@@Jay-vr9ir Exactly. Not too many people understand the discrimination that Italians faced, especially Southern Italians. I'm not going to repeat the names that some Italians were called back in the day. And when my grandparents came to the USA & started a family, there were both positive & negative reasons why they never taught my dad & uncle Italian, the negatives being the persecution from WW2.
@@mynewyork165 The problem with Italo- Canadians we still have not made any significant progress when it comes to government and many corporate things.Years ago Toronto appointed an Italian police chief Julian Fantino and there was a bit of controversy , over his appointment .People from India and third world eastern countries have made more progress in Canadian politics . Some of the jokes ,I had to hear as a child were very insulting and Italians were treated as clowns . My first employer , was very insulting , I was young it was a different time and I did not know , what he was doing was borderline illegal , especially by today's standards .That is what I like about the U.S. , being Italian means respect .I know World War 2 and the way Italy acted in World War 2 , did not help things for Italians especially in Canada and it has taken a long time for people to forget .
@@Jay-vr9ir Wow. Thanks for sharing. There's probably a bigger Italian community in Toronto than here in NYC right now. Or at least a tighter one. Those with my last name live in the Toronto area too. Not so much in NYC, but in Toronto & NJ. I don't have any family in Canada that I know about. But one day this guy with my last name called me from Windsor, ON. He was trying to trace his family. Thus was before the DNA tests came out. I don't think we were related though. I mean, not immediately.
@@mynewyork165 It use to be big especially in Toronto , Ont the entire city was known as littly Italy .My how things have changed now Toronto is mainly Indian Pakistan and East Asian , there are 2 little Italy places , College St West and St Clair Ave West .Many Italians here did not have children , including myself , so we are slowly fading away or I meet young people that are half Italian or a quarter Italian . A big Italian community is in Niagara , there are close to 3 Italian Association Club buildings in Niagara .
Where are they located? I may visit those folks one of this days. I'm from Trieste and I know Friulani don't exactly like us that much but I hope some Grappa may alter their indomitable spirit.
Unfortunately quite far, in College Point. They gather every Friday evening for dinner, you can just go on the website and you'll find a couple of phone numbers you can call to book it!
@@WhatashameMaryJane Very true, there are several! 😅 My family belongs to the Hamilton club and we occasionally attended events at the Windsor Fogolar.. The Fogolar Furlan in Windsor is gorgeous!
The areas at the border with Veneto in the province of Pordenone. This province tends in general to speak a more Veneto-influenced Friulan. In the city of Udine there is the Udinese dialect which is a dialect of Veneto, although spoken by very few people nowadays.
Wow! I was sent this video from my brother-in-law. You met my cousin Enzo with his wife Kathy. I love how he explained that Colle Di Arba in the provincia of Pordenone used to be Colle Di Cavasso Nuovo in the provincia of Udine!! Mandi da Toronto!!🇨🇦
Yes. Actually when my parents had their passports it stated Colle di Cavasso Nuovo as their birthplace. We try to go back every year as my husband is from there too!
My mother is from udine, my father English but my heart belongs to the friuli, swimming in the fiume tagliamento followed by prosciutto in San Danielle washed down with plenty of tokai.
Actually, i believe that it's one of the sweeter video you had shared us. I smiled all the time, and I'm sure you and them will keep these moments into your hearth. Next time bring your husband with you. He must love you so much...he waited all the time confined into the car! Hugs to you :-)
Ethnic social clubs are important wherever you are in the world. Where I live in Canada there are 30,000 people who can trace their ancestry to the small town of Racalmuto, Sicily. They used to have an annual parade for the Madonna Del Monte in both Racalmuto and here. There are more Racalmutos here than in Sicily. They maybe only have 8,000 people left there.
I have the same flag at home! My wife lived in Friuli all her childhood and one year I was able to get to know her comune and her friends gave us a flag. Do you have the contact info for the Friulan center in Canada that they mention in the video? Lovely channel, best regards!
No I don't but you can look up either "Fogolar Furlan" or "Famee Furlane" + the name of the city or town you're interested. I know in Ontario there are big ones in Toronto, Sudbury and Windsor. Hope it helps

Hi Mary Jane, glad you got to meet some of your regional country folk, but I have a question.
If you had no clue beforehand, who these people were, do you think that you'd somehow be able to tell, that they were originally from your region?.
I'd be curious to know as to what might distinguish them from other Italians?, and especially after having lived for a long period in the United States.
Wow, thanks MJ beautiful video... grazie
I’m happy you got to experience this!
Sounds like an Italian region well worth exploring! Ps what's the most popular card game in Friuli?
Briscola!
I have an uncle living in Canada, he's 95 now (but still drives, you wouldn't say he is more than 80 years old), who is originally from a small town of of Friuli...and when he speaks Friulan it's so funny because of the strong american accent...by the way, Frisanco and Poffabbro are two nice towns and there's some very nice hikes you can make from the area (e.g. Mt. Raut)
omg non sapevo fossi friulana anche tu e non avevo idea esistessero dei club di friulani in giro per il mondo! spero tu possa tornare qui il prima possibile, mandi mandi 💗:)
What a great video. I enjoyed this
It always amazes me the number of stories that older people have. All of the history that they have to tell. And to think most of them will never have their history recorded in any way.
In Friuli and in Italy in general we pay lots of attention to our elderlies and their stories. I've heard Americans mocking us for that.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Wow, it's really sad that anyone would mock that, although frankly I can't say it's surprising. What a terrible attitude. Without generalizing too much, the elderly tend to be ignored and discarded by this society if they are no longer considered useful, and it's maddening. In the Latin culture that I come from it is not like this. My comment was about the fact that
the history of people's lives, wherever they are from, are rarely recorded in one way or another for posterity. It's staggering how much history we lose out on because of this. Old people often have such fascinating life stories, and your video is evidence of that.
Splendido video!
Complimenti Maria
A lot of northern Italians made their way over in addition to the southern immigrants from Italy. My father was one, representing Pordenone as well and he can still speak his dialect proficiently!
My father in law was from Regalbuto in Sicily ... they formed a credit union in Brooklyn in the 60s.... lots of Italian immigrants got their first loans at the credit union. He also lived in Catania.. he fought for Italy but his brother fought for the USA IN WWII.
Amazing! My grand grandparents emigrated from San Vito Al Torre (back then, in Gorizia) to Brazil before the 1st WW.
odddioooooo che figata guardare sto video da udine è emozionante
This looks so exciting for you! 🎉♥️
My family was from Meduno. I hope to make a visit there one day.
Wow This Is Amazing, My Wife Use To Make Polenta With Beef Stew. When Fried And Spread Some Gorgonzola Cheese On It And Enjoy! New York Is Truly A Focus Of All The World's People! Great Video!
I enjoyed so much the video, very interesting people and stories
Looks like you had a wonderful time. I'm so happy for you! As an Italian-American, who through a series of events, has lost the link to his Italian heritage; I can only imagine how you must have felt. There is no place like home...and I'm very glad that you were able to find a little piece of it here. :)
Awesome episode, Molto Bello, greetings
Nice video ! It’s always amazing find people from your same Region/country... you can feel at home also if you are in another part of the world!
I was in a meeting with italians here in Denver... was amazing !
I appreciate your video and I think is a good method for improve my terrible english 🤙🏼🤙🏼
My family's heritage is Calabrese. It's so nice to see Italian communities still getting together in NYC, even if it's not my own. There used to be so many Italian families in NYC & they had to fight for so much recognition & support because they didn't get much respect back then. When Fiorello LaGuardia became the 1st Italian mayor of NYC, the Italians were so happy & many people liked him as a mayor. Same thing for Cuomo Sr. He's the son of immigrants. But now most Italians have either moved back to Italy or to Long Island, Westchester, or NJ because due to the change in demographics, they started to feel underrepresented or they just wanted to move to the suburbs & be a part of the rising middle class. So now there's not many of us around these days.
The same thing in Canada , up in Toronto, Ontario .Italians had a very hard time in Canada , over the years .
@@Jay-vr9ir Exactly. Not too many people understand the discrimination that Italians faced, especially Southern Italians. I'm not going to repeat the names that some Italians were called back in the day. And when my grandparents came to the USA & started a family, there were both positive & negative reasons why they never taught my dad & uncle Italian, the negatives being the persecution from WW2.
@@mynewyork165 The problem with Italo- Canadians we still have not made any significant progress when it comes to government and many corporate things.Years ago Toronto appointed an Italian police chief Julian Fantino and there was a bit of controversy , over his appointment .People from India and third world eastern countries have made more progress in Canadian politics . Some of the jokes ,I had to hear as a child were very insulting and Italians were treated as clowns . My first employer , was very insulting , I was young it was a different time and I did not know , what he was doing was borderline illegal , especially by today's standards .That is what I like about the U.S. , being Italian means respect .I know World War 2 and the way Italy acted in World War 2 , did not help things for Italians especially in Canada and it has taken a long time for people to forget .
@@Jay-vr9ir Wow. Thanks for sharing. There's probably a bigger Italian community in Toronto than here in NYC right now. Or at least a tighter one. Those with my last name live in the Toronto area too. Not so much in NYC, but in Toronto & NJ. I don't have any family in Canada that I know about. But one day this guy with my last name called me from Windsor, ON. He was trying to trace his family. Thus was before the DNA tests came out. I don't think we were related though. I mean, not immediately.
@@mynewyork165 It use to be big especially in Toronto , Ont the entire city was known as littly Italy .My how things have changed now Toronto is mainly Indian Pakistan and East Asian , there are 2 little Italy places , College St West and St Clair Ave West .Many Italians here did not have children , including myself , so we are slowly fading away or I meet young people that are half Italian or a quarter Italian . A big Italian community is in Niagara , there are close to 3 Italian Association Club buildings in Niagara .
Si vede la tua felicità, un ritorno a casa 😊
Where are they located? I may visit those folks one of this days. I'm from Trieste and I know Friulani don't exactly like us that much but I hope some Grappa may alter their indomitable spirit.
Unfortunately quite far, in College Point. They gather every Friday evening for dinner, you can just go on the website and you'll find a couple of phone numbers you can call to book it!
@@WhatashameMaryJane Thanks I live in Westchester right off I 95 with no traffic is probably 40 minutes or less.
Thank you for this video! So nice to see what other Famee Furlan's look like :)
My pleasure! Have you visited another Famee Furlane?
@@WhatashameMaryJane I have! A Famee and Fogolar in Canada. They look similar to the one in your video 🦅
Where in Canada? There are several ones!
@@WhatashameMaryJane Very true, there are several! 😅 My family belongs to the Hamilton club and we occasionally attended events at the Windsor Fogolar.. The Fogolar Furlan in Windsor is gorgeous!
Brava MJ, bel video!
Eddig,ez tetszett a legjobban!! Meg csinalj ilyen videokat!! Gracias....E possibile?
Nem beszelunk Magyar itt!! :)
so touching, great stories and memories
Can I ask you a question ? which parts of Friuli people speak Veneto ?
The areas at the border with Veneto in the province of Pordenone. This province tends in general to speak a more Veneto-influenced Friulan. In the city of Udine there is the Udinese dialect which is a dialect of Veneto, although spoken by very few people nowadays.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Thank you very much!
We have a famee furlane in toronto & i was born in Pordenone & i go back ogni due anni & still eat .y tradional dishes ❤👍👏👈🇮🇹
I love this. You have a new subscriber!
Video stupendo !!! congrats !!!!
GENIALLE the table social in new york. ARRIVEDERCI. 2021
Capisci che sei a casa quando qualcuno ti dice: “mangia prima”.
Great video!
Wow! I was sent this video from my brother-in-law. You met my cousin Enzo with his wife Kathy. I love how he explained that Colle Di Arba in the provincia of Pordenone used to be Colle Di Cavasso Nuovo in the provincia of Udine!! Mandi da Toronto!!🇨🇦
Enzo is your cousin? I’m glad you were able to understand his explanation, unfortunately I started recording after he began explaining. Mandi!
Yes. Actually when my parents had their passports it stated Colle di Cavasso Nuovo as their birthplace. We try to go back every year as my husband is from there too!
wonderful - happiness to you, what fun
My mother is from udine, my father English but my heart belongs to the friuli, swimming in the fiume tagliamento followed by prosciutto in San Danielle washed down with plenty of tokai.
Ahahah love it! Your English surname says it all also :)
Actually, i believe that it's one of the sweeter video you had shared us. I smiled all the time, and I'm sure you and them will keep these moments into your hearth. Next time bring your husband with you. He must love you so much...he waited all the time confined into the car! Hugs to you :-)
Adesso voglio la bestemmia dal tetto di New York.
magari in arabo
Dio boe
Mio papà diceva: cjastron o smerdion...
@@gianfalco8527 sta su de doss...
Molto peggio il campanilismo misto a razzismo becero che una bestemmia
Mary Jane u are making me hungry. That food looked mouth watering yummm😛😛
Friulani regnano ovunque 👏❤️🇮🇹
Ethnic social clubs are important wherever you are in the world. Where I live in Canada there are 30,000 people who can trace their ancestry to the small town of Racalmuto, Sicily. They used to have an annual parade for the Madonna Del Monte in both Racalmuto and here. There are more Racalmutos here than in Sicily. They maybe only have 8,000 people left there.
Che trip ritrovarti qui dopo tanti anni, tra le mie raccomandazioni di RUclips !! Ciao bella! 😄
Ma dai proprio qualche settimana fa ti ho nominata mentre ero al telefono con Giulia!!! Ciao Chiara! 😁
I believe Lidia Bastianich the PBS cooking show chef is also from your area. Are you familiar with her?
No
Bellissimo video.☺️ Mio padre era di Valeriano, vicino a Spilimbergo.
I have the same flag at home! My wife lived in Friuli all her childhood and one year I was able to get to know her comune and her friends gave us a flag.
Do you have the contact info for the Friulan center in Canada that they mention in the video?
Lovely channel, best regards!
No I don't but you can look up either "Fogolar Furlan" or "Famee Furlane" + the name of the city or town you're interested. I know in Ontario there are big ones in Toronto, Sudbury and Windsor. Hope it helps
Bello! Davvero emozionante!
Poor Ali. Thank you very much! I haven't had rabbits since.... ein Zahn dem Schrot im Hasen nachgab. Do you like pheasant too?
Yes but rabbit is my favorite!
In the introduction of this vlog you show a beautyfull sunset over manathan.. from a roof balcony..i have a question from were you filmed this? East arlem? Bronx area? I am courious to know ...seems from North anyway..?
Saluti da Udine❤️
0:22 Audiokennlinie bauchiger, nicht ganz so linear. Allerdings gefällt mir die synchrone Türe... war das Absicht?
An Ende habe ich mit dem Audio lange überlegt und bin zu dem Schluss gekommen, es ist genau richtig.
11:44 Farbabrisse und so, wegen Licht, Kamera etc.. unbedingt beibehalten.
Der Rest ist schon ziemlich gut. (+)
Also, eigentlich bin ich begeistert... 🤔🤓
Vom Inhalt auch... 😅
