  • Welcome to Part 1 of my Sicilian island series. If you've ever dreamed of travelling to Salina, Stromboli, Panarea, Lipari or Sicily during the summer, this first episode should give you some idea of the beauty, the volcano, the history, the ties to the golden era of Italian cinema, the Italian food and the local way of life. As you know, I am a great lover of vintage cinema and the love story of Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini is one of my favourites. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:
    / kylieflavell
    You can find my recipes and other information on moving to Italy, learning Italian or my filmmaking equipment on my website:
    www.kylieflave...
    Please don't follow me on Facebook as that person is not me - they have stolen my identity for the past few years. You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

    WOW! This cinematography paired with the music and the beautiful stories is absolutely breathtaking!
    This is not a youtube video, this is a masterpiece! I 100% would go to the cinema and pay for it.
    What a beautiful love-story, both Mr. Rossellini and Mrs. Bergmann seem like fascinating people, thank you for sharing the story with us!
    Hearing you host talk about how he was able to fulfil his dream and the way he sees his beautiful island is also truly inspiring. You really do have the talent to find beautiful stories...you see I totally could go on and on about your talent forever.
    I am so glad that you found someone to share all those beautiful memories with. It gives me hope for myself.
    I hope you are feeling better by now, sending lots of love and good energy your way 💛🌻

I was lucky enough to spend a few weeks in Tuscany last October, and I have yearned to go back since. In lieu of traveling back, I'm happy to be watching your travels through Italy in such a cinematic way as consolation. Grazie mille per la tua arte!!

    Wonderful video. I've traveled the globe. Italy is at the top of my favorite list. Not just for its beauty, but the people, and their culture. I loved sitting in the open air cafes watching the families, couples, and friends strolling arm in arm enjoying the evening, and each other. They seemed to have the secret of how to truly enjoy life. I was in Naples at the time. I remember speaking to my brother and trying to convey this sentment at the time. He spoke of his time there in the navy and spoke of it as a trash heap. I was shocked that he saw it so differently. My time there was magical. I felt its ancient history, the richness of life, the food, the smells, cobbled streets, and always the beautiful blue mediteranian. I wanted to live there.

    This is so sublime and poetic and ethereal, and just simply stunning. I hope you allow yourself to breathe and re-boot and sleep and dream and rest, because I feel like you are channeling your dreams, heart and soul into these films. I feel you are giving away a little part of your soul to all of us who sit transfixed by your rolling images, they are so precious. So please, don't ever let that creativity burn out because it would be indescribably sad for the planet. Because I really think there are such huge things to come for you in the future. You are so so talented, and have such a beautiful eye for cinematography that is rare. I can't wait for part 2. Or any other stunning film you release here on youtube, or in Hollywood for that matter. But until then ... :) Grazie Mille!!!

    Kylie- each week we receive a gift from you and they just keep getting better and better. A feast for the eyes, ears and balm to the soul- that is what you give us all. In these troubled times, this beautiful escape means more than you can ever imagine. I wish you and all who read this health, safety and to know the pure joy of the simple things in live.

    Ok Kylie I don't know from where to start or what to tell you. YOUR VIDEOS (When I say videos I feel like it's not fair) YOUR STORY TELLING MASTER PIECES are a break from the daily ugliness we witness everyday from the news and the drama. In a fair world you would be well paid and well known. Because your work does not need to go through stupid algorithms. Your work is a therapy for all the ones who wonder. THANK YOU KYLIE PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING,WE NEED IT. You have no idea how much you inspire me, and remind me that there is still beauty in this world outside the narrative that we are sold of typical job, living to pay the bills and enjoying live occasionally. I truly appreciate the passion and the efforts you put in these master pieces ❤️

    I loved this! I've always loved Italian culture and dreamed of going to Italy one day. A few months ago I decided to learn Italian and go visit Italy within the next year (post CV-19 of course). When I finally get to visit I want a truly immersive experience beyond doing the usual tourist activities. I want to speak with Italians in their language and learn about their country from them. I've watched so many travel vlogs of Italy that I find them boring since they offer little in terms of culture. Your channel is exactly what I was looking for. Also, your Italian is excellent. You sound very natural. Thanks for the video and I look forward to the rest of your content!

    One thing I admire about your videos is your use of inductive visual language. You contextualize the locale in layer after lusciously beautiful layer as if you were baking a mille feuille. I worked in the film and media industry for many years and now teach film at university and recognize in you, not just a very talented film-maker, but one with a special and unique voice and a mind's eye with incredible visual clarity.

Stromboli is a towering active volcano but Giuseppe and the Strombolians live side by side in peace with him / her. A truly extraordinary island! I hope you are feeling much better Kylie.

    I found myself immersed in your storytelling. That teaser preview - eerie ominous dissonant score - chills and heightened awareness. What a dramatic way to set the scene and mood for Stromboli. Leading in through the wartime story of the woman from Latvia and the romance between Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini (playing out her story). With dramatic close-up night-footage of eruption, weaving in the contemporary presence of “Iddu”, by grounding it all with in-depth intimate conversation with Guiseppe. How brilliantly you, through people, implicitly lay out the aesthetics of the mundane in a far grander narrative. My mind, soul and hearth expanded, yet unable to explain exactly how and why.
    Your perspective, that gravitates towards in-depth intimate authentic conversations, is part of what cinematic storytelling seem to have lost, to increased escapism from it. You provide escapism to reality, through aesthetics of the mundane. The encounters and connections between people - relatable and recognisable as the randomness that frames life - that resonates. As pivotal events in life can be due to random encounters, that lead us onto a new path of choices.
    Quite Unique ✨✨✨
