Thank you for sharing your mom, her home and the beautiful stories! The Mosaics are breathtaking! Your family lives in a beautiful part of the countryside ❤
Not sure if you guys will see this but my grandma went to school with Alessio’s grandfather, Dario. We came across this video and I was showing her so she could see Cavasso (her hometown as well), and she couldn’t believe it when she saw her childhood friend.
Oh, my gosh - that is one in a million chances ... how wonderful🥰🥰
I wondered what town it was.
The coolest thing is that after you mentioned the name of the village I typed it into google maps and checked out the satellite image. And it took me only 3 seconds to see where Allessio's Mama is living. The house with the mosaic is really standing out.
So he literally grew up at the very foot of the alps. Right at the end of the garden they start.

Bump
In the hopes that they’ll see this!
Alessio’s mom’s American accent is THROWING ME OFF 😂
The love in the family is so clear ❤
She sounds like she may be from the New Orleans or Baton Rouge area. I’m from New Orleans.
@julieparham6674 she is
@julieparham6674 She is Italian American, Same with Alessio. Alessio was born with dual citizenship
alessio and his mom are both Italian Americans
Yes you don’t expect the American accent. Her Italian is very authentic sounding.
My parents are from Cordenons, and I toured part of northern Italy and it’s spectacular! I also toured the mosaic school in Spilimbergo. It’s awesome! Love speaking Furlan! Keep that ancient language going, not many people know it! Ciao! 🇨🇦
Cordenons people speak a dialect similar to the Venetian. The most part of Pordenone province speck this dialect
@luigidallagnese2056 I think it's all pretty mixed there. I'm Australian but a lot of my relatives come from towns like Chions and Azzano Decimo (the other half in towns across the border in Veneto) and they all spoke Veneto but with lots of Furlan influence.
Brava ❤ e dove abit ora?i
my family is from Rauscedo, Friuli is a fantastic place.
❤ from pordenone. Ciao
Your grandfathers work is incredible!
Can we please have a documentary on Alessio's mama if she is inclined? Would love to hear the story of how she came to be in Italy.
Oh that would be amazing if she wants to
Your mother I swear is American. I am Canadian so I have difficulty differentiating New York and New Jersey accents, but I think she is from one or the other NY or NJ
@thisoldnurse1521If you listen there in the beginning when he's talking to her while she's making dinner he talks about her coming back to the States to Louisiana where she grew up.
What is the name of this town
@thisoldnurse1521 Metairie Lousiana sounds like a soft Long Island . NY accent
There's a lyrical quality that was captured in this video - the house, the mosaics, the garden, the wood fire, the rain, lasagna, the black cat, church bells ringing, the lovely relatives... This was such a delight to watch! ❤
This isn't normally in Italy, 'cuz Is a Rich italian's House... Average Italians live in small, old, damp rented apartments
@hyomaaiiroofficial non è vero, perché mio padre vive in una grotta e si sta bene. Ps: io sono di Matera
Anche no !
Da quanto manca dall'italia?Avete l'idea che in Italia andiamo a fare i bisogni nei boschi !!!
Il mio commento è per hyomaaiiroofficial
@hyomaaiiroofficial Chi glielo ha raccontato?
There’s nothing more heartwarming than a son’s love for his mother and a mother’s tears of joy ❤❤❤
So much beauty and history in Italy, including the landmark that is your family home. Thank you for sharing the story.
This isn't normally in Italy, 'cuz Is Rich italian's House... Average Italians live in small, old, damp rented apartments
Every country has it's beauty and history
@hyomaaiiroofficialma che stai a di? 😂😂😂😂
@hyomaaiiroofficialyou must be a very angry individual.
@hyomaaiiroofficial, true. The family lived in USA and were able to start a good life in Italy
His family's house is a piece of art (like everything else in beautiful Italy). Oh, a good helping son makes a nice husband for sure.
Your grandfather was very talented. And the entrance with all the stone work and beautiful front door and all the art work everywhere else must make you proud. Maybe you should stay in that town for good. So nice to see your mama and grandfather ❤
This isn't normally in Italy, 'cuz Is Rich italian's House... Average Italians live in small, old, damp rented apartments
@hyomaaiiroofficiali wouldnt say what is average in italy like in every other country some ppl are well off some not, ppl in villages can have money or not
@FANSpiele it's clear that you don't really know Italy, especially regarding the issue of taxes (Equitalia docet), illegal work, corruption, the gap between your much loved radical bourgeois whites like this one in the video, and those who barely live with €400 per month. Unfortunately I have survived it for over thirty years and I KNOW WHAT I SAY...
@hyomaaiiroofficialwhere on earth did you get that idea may I ask??
When you're an artist hired to travel the world, you can probably name your price. No one is surprised that grandpa did well in life.
Alesio and you should move back when you can to that house. So much history. Look how beautiful the area is. Priceless memories will be relived and new ones will be formed.
Such a beautiful place to live. The mosaics are wonderful. Such amazing art in your yard. The Lasagne looked delicious 😋
Isn't normally in Italy, this Is a real Rich italian's House... Average Italians live in small, old, damp rented apartments
Ramsay's take in other countries gastronomy is always way off, he did that in Portugal, and some of the things he cooked looked nothing like the real food we eat and I should know I'm portuguese. 😂😂😂
@hyomaaiiroofficial bull crapp, and I am Italian and I know ,you do not.
@hyomaaiiroofficial wtf are u saying dude, u're not even italian. That's not true.
@hyomaaiiroofficial BS/TROLL...Italy is a top 10 economy, military, trading nation, wealthiest citizens in the WORLD, #2 EU industrial power, member of G7, founder/member of every major world organization. Speak for your poor self.
Everything was so beautiful! The history of the mosaics, your Mom’s cooking, Nonna’s wood burning stove. Thank y’all for sharing this with us.
Jesse you are always beaming when you are in Italy. That is your happy place. Your entire face is just pure happiness when you are in Italy 🇮🇹
As an italian ..i am crying . We are very open ... As Alessio . We hate walls. 😊❤
To be honest , she is always beaming .A happy person.
This is so touching!! The family! The food! The history! The mosaics!! Wow!!! I love the rooster crowing, the church bells, the family!! And on and on!! Poor Mom working on a project but wearing her USA shirt!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thats a good man. When they pitch in and do chores and help out, very respectful and right thing to do. Good quality in men , to have.
I knew this would be a great video from the title, but Alessio's grandfather's beautiful mosaics, and all those stories of his life elevated it to fantastic! What a charming family!❤❤❤
So beautiful, I would like to visit Italy one day. The walk up to the house was breathtaking. Made me smile so big when I heard your mom is from Louisiana, Im from Louisiana too just moved to Ga two months ago for my husband to have a better job opportunity and I miss home already. You can tell how happy Alessio is, the heart is always where home is. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I loved this video! Allesio’s mother’s house is very beautiful. All of the stone steps, and artwork and the gorgeous multitude of plants and trees. Thanks for taking us along.
Everything seems so much more thoughtful in Italy. It's beautiful.
Goosebumps to hear furlan and see the mosaic and the landscape and your Nonna. My father passed away last year. A man from Friuli.
Thank you!
You must miss him. I lost my mother 22 years ago when she was 43. My father and his wife live with us, I'm so grateful my children are growing up with him. ❤
Art, music, math and science all came from overseas. Love what I watched, and your grandfather mosaic work is one of a kind. Don't take it for granted.
That was sooo wonderful to see your Family!!! What a surprise for your family… & that you were able to help them with the chores. Your Grandma is so cute!,,❤️
Thank you for this. It is fascinating for me. My Italian Great Grandfather's Ancestry was from Milano via Sicily. He immigrated to America in early 1870s. He purchased his ranch in my community on August 23, 1880 which I've now inherited. I'm now the 4th generation owner. The one story passed down to me was he always insisted that Raviolis be served for every Christmas Eve dinner. I continued on with that tradition this past Christmas. The 143rd year doing that in my community.
I also have the family ragu recipe and methodology. I'm glad to see her use Carrots and Celery. Our secret ingredient is plenty of Nutmeg, which I have a sneaky feeling is her's too 😊
Congratulations, continue to keep this tradition alive!!
Go pay milano a visit
😅....
A mother’s love for her child is a beautiful thing. She was so happy to see both of you. ❤❤❤
I love how her speaking varies back and forth between accents. It’s telling to her personal culture
What a beautiful story! I am from Austria and spent several holidays in Italy, especially the northern part. I love the Italian lifestyle and I have to go to buy original food and drinks. Now I have really the wish to see more of the landscape around the Tagliamento.
And you are such a heartwarming family, all the best from Vienna!
This was wonderful!! The history, the lifestyle, the cooking….. all of it. No wonder Alessio is so proud. He has much to be proud of! Can see why you love it so!
Was 🤯 when she spoke english, then you said she grew up in Louisiana and it all made sense! Loveley place and lovley family!
I feel like this was one of my favorite videos that you guys have made about Italy and Alessio’s family. Thank you so much for sharing it.
What a beautiful couple you are and his family are so friendly. If I could live anywhere it would be Italy, it's beautiful and the people too! Great video thank you both. That Mossaic wall looks fantastic, so much history.🇬🇧💖🌞
It is so good to see you both not only visiting your family, but helping them while you are there. Beautiful!
Nothing like momma's cooking! I would give anything to eat my moms cooking again... enjoy the little things folks.
The house is beautiful! The mosaic tiles are breathtaking and really a labor of love!
You are both so special. I'm praying for your journey to having a baby! These stories must live on in the next generation!!
I second this!!
@jeb11505 Your prayers were answered!💓
Your Mumma is gorgeous! And you grandfather and grandmother too. They would've loved every minute of seeing you. Very special indeed 💗💗💕💕
Your grandfather's mosaic art is amazing! Thank you for sharing his story.
I love mosaics, I have done with glass, but it is AMAZING with the rock. Lasts so long. Beautiful
The house, the beautiful mosaics and the food. Plus spending time with your family. What a wonderful trip!
All I can say is Breathtaking, i can't find the words to describe the beauty. I have always wanted to go to Italy ❤❤❤
This lifestyle in Italy is just beautiful. We should all live like this we would be better people for it. These surroundings are so authentic and unique, the cuisine is respected world wide. Thank you for sharing this ❤❤
It s possibile everywhere ..you only have to think about priorities. Slow Life . Affects. Take some time only for you. Listen to your Heart and live the present😊
Your mom’s expression was priceless. Bella❤
Your mom’s English had me floored! Was not expecting that! And your Nonno’s beautiful artwork, wow!! 👏

It was truly wonderful and heartwarming!

Those steep stairs are what's keeping 96 year old nonna going strong! I really loved this video and seeing true Italy and your family and the love.
Your mom is awesome and her cooking skills....amazing! And your grandfather's mosiac work is spectacular, oh my what an artist!
Beautiful vlog. It made me homesick for home 😢. Alessio love on your grandfather as much as you can. I would give everything in this world to be helping and working with my grandpa right now. Thank you for showing us your lovely life. ❤
THANK YOU for sharing your Grandfather's beautiful story! He would be so proud of you for honoring him and helping his legacy to live forever❤
I love the small town and all the fresh food. Love all of you ❤
your grandfathers work is incredible. Old school craftsman that has long been lost.
Wow, your grandfather is very talented. Beautiful stone art work. Lucky you have such wonderful history of his life. Love the story. Good luck and wish you and your family the best.
This was an AMAZING video! Those mosaics are breathtaking and that garden is a Paradise! Meeting your family and seeing Northern Italy was truly wonderful and I hope you do more like this.
For some reason I just feel so connected to you both and your family! Your story is so much like my husbands and my story! I will continue to pray for you both on your journey! Blessings

And now I’m crying. I just love you guys.
Wow, Italy is beautiful thank you for the family history. I would love to visit some day 😊 💙💜

I love all your videos! I grew up in New Orleans and your mamas accent makes my heart so happy. Reminds me of home!
Can you cherish his art pieces? You never know, 200 years from now it can be in history books. 🙂🙂🙂❤️❤️❤️🙂🙂. Beautiful mosaics
This isn't normally in Italy 'cuz Is a Rich italian's House... Average Italians live in small, old, damp rented apartments
Non è vero tanti italiani hanno casa propria soprattutto al nord .Hanno fatto tanti sacrifici anche all' estero e adesso stanno bene @hyomaaiiroofficial
@hyomaaiiroofficialil nonno di Alessio viene dal Friuli gente che lavora duramente e qui la maggior parte della gente ha casa propria mandi mandi
I’m ready to subscribe to Sonia’s Table! 💚♥️🎅🏻
Love that you surprised everyone and what beautiful works of art your Nonno created! I too grew up with a wood furnace and every fall my Dad would have us help fill our cellar with 5 plus cords of wood. Hard work but a wood stove fire makes the house all warm and cozy.
Thank you for sharing your family with us!
The story how your grandfather became a mosaic artist and his works are amazing👏👏👏
Everywhere you look... breathtaking! Alessio, what a rich family history! Thank you, Pasini family! Your family home is beautiful! ❤😊
Isn't normally in Italy, 'cuz Is Rich italian's House... Average Italians live in small, old, damp rented apartments
@hyomaaiiroofficialsmettila di scrivere cavolate! Forse nelle grandi città del nord(tipo Milano) ma l Italia è fatta di tanti paesini e piccole città e gli appartamenti sono ampi🙄
@hyomaaiiroofficialstupid!!
Those mosaics! Alessio's mom is such a character!
And his Nonna!!! So amazing.
I started to cry when I saw your mom’s reaction after opening the door. You’re an adorable, lovable wonderful couple.
This is so beautiful 🥰. My beloved grandma always told me that the way a man treats his mother & the women in his family is how he will treat you. Alessio, you are a wonderful son, grandson & husband. Jessi, not only have you won the husband lottery but also the in-law Powerball!
Watching this beautiful heartfelt emotion was just what we needed ♥️ Thank you for sharing this moment with us all xo
Beautiful video. I could actually feel your mom's shock and surprise!
Stunningly Beautiful!
Thanks sooo much for sharing!
Blessings to you and yours!❤❤❤
Stunning!!! My grandparents were from Sulmona and came here to Rhode Island. Thanks for sharing..
I do not taste my cooking, just like your Mom! I knew exactly what she meant when she said I don't need to, I know how it gonna taste! I learned how to cook from my Hungarian great aunt Mariska, starting at the age of 8yrs old. Now 60yrs later, I don't need recipes written down, all in my head, just like my great aunt! Hello 👋🏻 from Southern California 🌴
My Mom's Father's family came over to the US from Switzerland many generations ago, but they lived in a small community settled by many Swiss. So they ended up marrying other Swiss transplants.
I think knowing about your ancestors makes the world smaller and we appreciate other people better.
Your home looks like a slice of heaven, Alessio. Very very very beautiful. Thank you and Jessie for sharing your life with us all 🙏 May God bless you and your families richly 🙏
This isn't normally in Italy, 'cuz Is Rich italian's House... Average Italians live in small, old, damp rented apartments
@hyomaaiiroofficialmamma mia oh! Insisti!
@hyomaaiiroofficialla gelosia e` una grande malattia.
maybe in cities, like most cities in the world but these people are in the country.
Thank you guys so much for sharing this. What a beautiful art and family.🙏🏽😊 the countryside. Reminds me of when I used to go stay with my grandmother for the summer. Just love the outdoors.
I loved this video! Thank you for sharing your family in Italy. I've been to Italy once, for about a month, in 1998. I want to visit again, hopefully, soon. God bless you and your family.
A mother’s love is priceless. Beautiful house and land.
Such a beautiful place! Your family history is amazing! Such talent! Your mom is a wonderful teacher for cooking the food you were brought up on! Just lovely ❤ thank you for showing us the area, the history and your family!😊
Thank you for a glimpse into your family life in Italy. Oh so beautiful and serene. ❤
Oh wow it is beautiful there. I was crying too…that was amazing 🤗❤️
Two Realllllly special people, realllllly enjoy watching your videos, please keep them coming. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is one of my favourite on your channel. So so lovely!
What an amazing family history! Your Nonno is a true master artist/craftsman... What a beautiful legacy he leaves!! The food... Looks so delicious! And your childhood home... The vistas.... Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this. ❤ My husband and his family are all born and raised in Louisiana👍🏻😁
Il mosaico del nonno è stupendo!!!! Che artista 👨🏼🎨❤
C’est tellement beau la fresque en mosaïque, la maison est un musée, qu’elle chance d’avoir un Nono artiste. La maman aurait pu avoir une attaque tellement elle est surprise. Mon grand-père est né à Parme, je n’ai pas connu mes grands-parents ils sont partis juste avant ma naissance. On est aussi très famille. Merci Jessi et Alessio , bonjour de France, ❤
There are lots of people in Switzerland, France and Italy who use wood-burning stoves to heat their house. The modern stoves are very efficient and some can be used to heat water which is then used to heat existing radiators by being plumbed into the central heating system. So not old-fashioned at all,but very ecological!
Wood burning stoves are very popular especially amongst people who convert their older houses back to their original and expose the fire places. They give out great heat and create a very cosy atmosphere. However, they are not good for the environment. They emit CO2!!😢😢
I'm Irish and in my early 40s. In my early childhood we had a Parkray fire, which was a fire built into the wall with a door and a glass window run on coal or anthracite. It used to heat the water and so in turn the radiators. Sometimes it would get so hot that the radiators would start to bang and we'd have to turn on the hot water tap to cool the rads down. I was too young to get the coal from the bunker in the back garden but I did rake it out the following morning and clean the glass. In summer we obviously wouldn't light a fire but we had an immersion to heat the water. A real fire is so comforting though.
Exactly! We're being scolded not to burn wood, don't use gasoline, but to purchase EV that costs outrageous PLUS 5-15K to replace a battery that is the MOST UN-RECYCLABLE thing!! It's nonsense. Do your part to recycle, and then 91% of plastics aren't even recycled. If the wealthy, jet-flying, multiple homes people lecturing us from Davos actually cared, plastics would not be everywhere including the oceans. You and I are doing our part, these elites are NOT. They don't like us having a small life with a little woodstove which is actually heating places like Alessio's mom's entire home. GLASS is 100% recyclable and our foods need to come in glass vs. plastic.
@annedodd5888 Wood heating is carbon neutral. It emit the quantity of CO2 the wood had absorbed. The problem is all the other things it emit and the process to obtain the biomass, usually cutting trees without replacing them.
@nicoladc89 recently I’ve been reading that wood burning stoves, although very popular, are significantly contributing to fossil fuel emissions. Having said that, isn’t nearly everything doing that!!!
This is full of love. I can't imagine a mother loving her children. Growing up was very different for me. I love to hear the mosaic of his Grandfather. You are all beautiful souls.
I forgot that Alessio's mother is American! I liked meeting her and your Nonno and Nanna. Nonno is a very creative man. Beautiful place!
Italian mums....best ones.
