    I love the way Ollie is so charming and sweet, thanking the woman for having them in her palazzo, at least twice, in such a gentle and well-mannered way. I can see anyone would be incredibly lucky to have him in their lives. Friends and loved ones of Ollie, I envy you, such a wonderful gentleman you get to share time with. And his wife, should treat him like the Prince that he is. I will subscribe to his channel Magical Modernist Mansion. I watched it before, but am now convinced, I need me some Ollie to brighten things up.

      Hi Linda, it’s Steph here. Ollie is wonderful, and I’m thankful every day for meeting him at university - through him I also met Nic and Michael, with whom I bought Lalande. My life would have been impossible without meeting Ollie and he’s been a rock in my life ever since. As someone who’s known him for so long, I can also add that Camilla is the best thing that’s ever happened to him, she’s loyal, capable and very fun!

    • @TravelsWithMyFriend
      @TravelsWithMyFriend  11 месяцев назад +7

      It’s Steph here - it was Ollie’s idea to make ‘slow’ videos. His analogy was exactly that it should be like slow food! A balm in our fast paced world.

    It's always a pleasure to travel with Ollie and Stephanie with their wealth of information, free-flowing commentary and of course the most impressive sights, be they the well-traveled tourist sites or the best of the off-the-beaten-path treasures. Although this cooking video with the amazing Vittoria makes me wonder how Italians have time for much else but shopping at the markets and making all those labor and time-intensive homemade pastas...but I'm always happy to sit down and enjoy a few healthy servings of fine Italian cuisine at a couple of my favorite local restaurants. Well, Stephanie and Ollie, it's the best job imaginable if you can get it, traveling, enjoying dining from casual to fine, discovering architectural masterpieces, art and sculpture. Why didn't I think of it as a smart career move years ago!

    I'm going to Padua! I'll be there in October. 25 years ago I took an art history class and fell in love with the Scrovengi chapel. It's a life long dream of mine and a bucket list trip to go here. I can't wait. I'm so thrilled about this video. And I'm a Sagittarius too, aren't we the best?! Thank you!

    I had an Italian aunt who used to make pasta every single day and it would hang up to dry in the kitchen. Her children have a well known Italian Restaurant in Scotland but I have never been and haven't seen them in almost 60 years, I only remember that the children were all dar haired and gorgeous.

    Another beautiful city - the buildings you showed us rise with ethereal energy, and seem to be in a dream of their own in that golden Italian sunshine. One can just imagine the different centuries of activity that has carried on in their shadow. Love seeing it all. And Vittoria, what a lovely person, with those fabulous dishes flowing from her fingertips. My goodness. Thank you for another gorgeous travel.

    Guess what I am now googling ! Just amazing with so much history and beauty to be seen.
    My city was settled by Europeans only 156 years ago, so to see a city that has a university 800 years old is just mind blowing!
    Thank you again from North Queensland, Australia. xxx

    Hi Stephanie and Ollie, your vlog in Padua is just fabulous! So interesting and you are right about wanting to go back! I spent a year in Florence with 'old' family friends and just loved being able to visit the art galleries, museums and churches many times as you could not take in their beautiful contents on a first visit! Nick and I loved seeing your cookery class with the gorgeous Vittoria, all looked so delicious! Tiramisu is a family favourite and was wonderful seeing how she made it. Yes Ollie, the sponge fingers can get very soggy quickly! lol! We look forward to your vlog next week in Verona! Love and best wishes, Christina & Nick, Crediton, Devon UK😀🥰

Thank you, for making it possible to see so many places, missed when young and agile!
    Here in Sydney we have a company called Pastabilities! 🤣once in Surry Hills, I'd walk there at lunchtime...
    For years they've made the most delicious fresh pasta, everything to cook at home, all types of pasta, even the sauces. Its take your pick, they make it all.
    If you live in Sydney they are at Marrickville, plus they sell through other outlets... Another great video. ❤🦘

I did however make the effort to get to Assisi near Padua to where Saint Francis was born, & see the art work of Giotto .. he was such a master, love his work, it’s so beautiful .. the best of religious art (not that I’m religious, but interested in the history) ❤️
