Every day I get so many emails and comments asking why you can’t locate the music I use. I purchase music licenses for almost all the music you hear in my videos. I buy them them from various royalty-free production music sites and most of the time they don’t list the performer because it’s music made only for film productions with an audio watermark throughout the entire track, unless you purchase the single-use license for $50-100 per track. I use a lot of opera so often I’ll reference the opera but I won’t be able to direct you to a recording of that specific performance that you could stream or buy on iTunes or Spotify. Hope that clears things up and thank you for appreciating quality music.
Parts of this series were originally filmed last year for another project for Tuscany Villa, which is a free puzzle decoration game set in Tuscany that you can play on your mobile.

I take the opportunity of this video, to thank you from my heart. Thank you for showing the world by explaining with love and passion for our - now also your - land, the history and beauties of our wonderful Italy. Unfortunately, we Italians, being used to living here, often no longer pay attention to the beauty that we have around us and therefore unfortunately we do not give it the right attention. But I'm happy to see that there are still people living here - Italian and non-Italian - who still realize they live in the most beautiful country in the world.❤️🇮🇹
Grazie di cuore, Leonardo. ♥️
@@KylieFlavell grazie a te!🤩
I love how talented you are at capturing the flavour of a place, your cinematography and interviews are so immersive! This place reminds me of where Im living now in France, near the town of Uzès, which I really encourage you to visit if you're ever in Provence! Most people visit larger cities when they travel but the true heart of a culture and a people can often be found in traditional old villages where people have been preserving a way of life with sacredness and respect and so much love for so long. ❤️
Thank you so much. 😊
Bonjour from Collias.
I absolutely agree with everything you said about Kylie’s talents, and although I’ve never had the chance to travel yet, but If/when I do I feel the same way, I’d much rather visit areas like this!
I loved this episode. I really enjoy when there's a lot of Italian being spoken and you include the English translation. I have always wanted to learn to speak Italian and that helps so much. This town is lovely and is now firmly on my "hope to visit one day" list!
Nothing like....Kylie, her musical taste, Tuscan villages. Best to Matteo!
We rented a car in Rome to drive thru Tuscany and the manager said,"Do yourself a favor, stop in Orvieto" well worth the stop! 🙏❤☺ thanks for making our Fridays!
Absolutely stunning! You have such a gift. I've been chronically ill for over 20 years and unfortunately bedridden for the last 10 years. However, I was very lucky to have traveled quite a bit when I was younger. I've truly never seen a more beautiful place. I ache to be there, but now I feel like I've actually spent time there walking beside you and listening to your lovely voice. Thank you Kylie ❤🙏
I’m so sorry you’ve had to endure such a long illness. Sending you much love. ♥️
@@KylieFlavell Ok, I have to admit I'm fan-girling a little here! 😉 Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Chronic illness can be very isolating and just "talking" to you for a second made my day! ❤
@@crisnemitz1606 I can only imagine. I love knowing a little more about viewers like you. Knowing a little of your story and how much you need to be transported with beauty and music and details gives me so much motivation to work harder. Thank you. 🙏
@@KylieFlavell ❤ Okay, but until the baby comes and you've had a proper maternity break no more working harder young lady! 😁😉
Dear Kylie, as an Italian, fascinated by history and in particular by the beauty of historic small hill towns, I must thank you for this beautifully filmed and edited video and for all the interesting information you have included in it (like the presence of little Jerusalem or the carved road caves of Etruscan origin).
Pitigliano is one of my favourite places, still out the radar for most tourists coming to Italy and Tuscany. Your beautiful video will certainly contribute to let people get acquainted to it.
Villages like 5 terre or the towns on the Amalfi coast have now reached an extreme level of popularity and become really overcrowded in peak season, others like Civita di Bagnoregio (the dying city) are becoming more populars thanks to some media attention, but Pitigliano has remained mostly in the shadow in these years. It's a pity, since it is a really magical place. If you are driving at night from the coast along road SR74, you will be truly mesmerized by the view when you finally see Pitigliano and its cliffs illuminated after a sharp turn.
And for those that like me are in awe in front of similar places, I would suggest some other hilltowns like Sorano and Sovana (both near Pitigliano), Vitorchiano (really off the beaten track) or the impressive villages in western Liguria like Bussana vecchia (a resuscitated ghost town), Apricale (the only place with a bycicle installed on top of the bell tower or campanile), Bajardo and Dolceacqua, just to name e few of them!
All the best from Torino to you, Guido and your baby!
Ciao, Roberto
Thank you Kylie for this video. Enchanting and mesmerising. I think Italy is the richest Country to have the magnificent and historic charm of Countryside. Specifically southern Italy. That is something different. Of course the Tuscan beauty is matchless. You both follow the perfect , healthy and balanced way of living. Love ❤️ from India. 👍🙏🇮🇳 🇮🇹
Kylie,
I love these videos showing us the beautiful parts of Italy that are Not so touristy. It allows us to see the beauty on the original setting verses a high light in tourist point of view. We love history and antiques and the beauty of the intricately carved stones and building and the artistry of locals in their perspective talent , whether it
is pottery, baking or farming etc. Love your channel and content. Makes us feel as if we are getting a tour from a friend. Thank you.
Sometimes the best way to see Italy is to visit little villages like this one.
This is such a great way to start my day! Hope you and the baby are doing well Kylie!
Thank you! Yes, I’m feeling great. 🙏
Ohh!I have always wanted to visit Tuscany!!I just love it when she,they take us to such gorgeous sites,heritage,I swear these are not just videos these are heartfelt,stunning,landscapes,architectural,buildings,magazine coffee table books can only be made by Kylie with love and passion,and so much work it goes into todays videos but she makes it effortlessly-Sabrina is a sweet Lady she loves this town and respects.pasta looks amazing too
How sweet you are, Maria!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@KylieFlavell I can’t tell you enough how very special you are to us and how much we love you both-and these masterpieces you create for us and a library of your lives for your children and their children.thAnk you for your hard work and dedication,many many blessings sent your way always 😘😘🙏🙏
You never disappoint with whatever you’re showing us. You make it so interesting. Thank you. Can’t wait to see the progress on the homestead you’re renovating for your family.
In my experience, ancient Italy is very 'atmospheric'. I recently explored the old town in San Remo which dates back to Roman times. it was stunning.
As a Hispanic and cultural historian, you vlogs continue to appeal to all my senses and heart. Speaking English and Spanish, it is always pleasurable to hear Italian and how much I understood the language without translation. There is reason Spanish and Italian are romance languages.
Absolutely loved this episode Kylie! I love getting lost in side streets of small villages and meeting all the precious kitty’s in the village. What a magical place!
Absolutely divine introduction, I really to wait all week for my Flavell Friday fix. Here I am eating Pizza in the UK but in Italy through the screen!
So glad you liked it! 🍕😘
Beautifully done! My grandmother is from Pitigliano as are a lot of Italians who settled in the same town in Central, PA in the U.S. For years, I researched recipes that I assumed were solely Italian, only to discover from friends in Pitigliano and from reading Edda Servi Machlins cookbook Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews - that the recipes I had been raised with are a cultural blend of Italian and Jewish tradition. I recently finished a chronicle of my grandmother's recipes as well as a film short on the Italians of Hershey, PA - in the event any viewers would like to see the work. It's a beautiful town, an amazing and unique story, and you did a wonderful job telling the story beautifully! Grazie Millie!
I'll never forget coming around the corner and seeing this town for the first time! its shocking and blows you away. like a movie set. had one of the best meals ever there :-) it was gorgeous and clean and so old!
Bello, m'è piaciuto. Tra l'altro, se non ricordo male, a Pitigliano c'è un ospedale con un reparto di medicina naturale dove si fa medicina integrata.
Your picturesque clips and overall video making abilities are truly wonderful. The region of Tuscany, Umbria and La Tuscia leave me speechless. These are places where one can truly live in a spiritually profound way.
Good morning, what a great way to start the day. When I watched this I told myself now I can see that Kylie is very pregnant compared to this vlog. You must be now all baby with the pregnancy. He's going to be happy to meet his papa soon. Sending you best wishes.💝
I'm so impressed how you switch so quickly between Italian and English! I really enjoyed these interviews and the views of this incredibly pretty town! ❤️
Grazie mille to the Mayor of Pitigliano for taking the time to chat with Kylie & all of us! 🇮🇹🍝💚🤍♥ Beautiful village. Grazie mille to the wonderful woman that was selling the scarfs for her time. 🌞🌻💛 The most precious gift in life is someone taking the time out of their life to share their knowledge and share what it's like for them to live in a beautiful place. Grazie to both of these Pitigliano residents. Greetings from the🇺🇸❤
This was so beautiful, Kylie! We live in Germany and I’m always looking for new places to visit but definitely want to stay away from a crowds. This would be such a neat place to visit!
I am italian but born and brought upp in Sweden. Great to see this beautiful video thank you💐
Hello lovely couple! Thank you very much for sharing with all of us your adventure in Pitigliano, It is so beautiful ! Wow!Bisous from Alsace 😍😘🤗😉
Cara, I hope you and baby are well. I really enjoyed the review/reminder of all the hard work you all have done thus far. Your beautuful fimography is better than any travel video I hae ever seen about Italy! You make it fantastical but realistic whithin the same presentation. I am mad at myself for not visiting the less touristy places that you find so much beauty in. I hope to return someday and won' rely on a travel agent that sends people to the same places over and over. Be well and take care of yourslelf, baby and Guido. Sending much love!❤❤❤
What a beautiful and tranquil hilltop village! A place where you can really immerse yourself in the daily living and history of Italy without the massive crowds. Warrants a visit on our next trip to Tuscany! ❤️
Questa città è come un sogno. Grazie dal Texas per mostrarla. Visitiamo un giorno ☀️☀️❤️❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹
Always happy when you drop a video ☺
Ciao Kylie, I live in the USA and planning a trip back home to Teggiano, a hill town my family is from. As you mentioned, the population has really declined, but Pitigliano looks healthy and populated. I am including it on my next trip! I love the history, art and culture and very proud to be 100% Italian. Thank you for sharing this treasure with us. What a great life you live!
Beautiful video, Kylie! Hope you are feeling well and looking forward to your next video. God bless!🙏❤
Bellissima. Thank you again for taking me to a place I love. I visited Pitigliano '19 on our way to ride with the "butteri" Cowboys.
Una delle mie cittadine preferite in Italia ci penso spesso. Vorrei anche dire che le regole che spesso critichi sono quelle che mantengono la bellezza che ti piace tanto di questi posti :)
Tuscany - one of the most beautiful places on the planet. We were blessed to do a self drive tour a few years ago. Coming from South Africa - my poor husband found the driving quite tricky! But it was worth every minute. We visited San Gimignano, Pienza, Pisa, Siena, Firenze, Lucca and more. Great memories!
I live in Plovdiv, Bulgaria 🇧🇬 one of the oldest or probably the oldest city in the world 👍🏻 Over 6000 years of civilisation and marvellous history! Great episode! Thank you 🍀
I started watching some vlogs about Bulgaria, and I was really impressed with the beauty and history. I hope to visit some day!
@@skeptigal4626 , Hope your stay here will be marvellous! Mountain Rhodope is divine and magical ✨ Thank you for your interest 💚🍀🇧🇬
Wow! Pitigliano is now on my list for our trip to Italy next fall! Thank you Kylie for this amazing vlog!
Love all of your videos , thank you so much for sharing 😘🙏
Beautiful video Kylie! Thank you for showing us a new part of Italy
I was born in Tuscany Lucca now I live in Seattle USA .Miss the Culture and Arts ..La Dolce Vita.
Lasci Pitigliano semi sconosciuta, non come Capalbio dove, tanti anni fa, ho sentito gli abitanti lamentarsi dei turisti: "ancora un po' e ti entrano in casa..." Già allora troppa gente per un paesino medioevale.
Ah! Mark my words, I will most definitely be moving to Italy one day soon. Just gorgeous! There is so much more to see and experience outside of places like Rome and Florence. The beauty is astounding. 😍
What a lovely village. Your filming is spectacular and really captured the beauty of this village. The hand carved road caves were amazing. It must have been magical walking through them. How generous that the mayor was willing to be interviewed by you. Glad you and the baby are doing well. Looking forward to seeing your parents arrival as I am sure you are as well. Take care and thanks for sharing.
Ci siamo stati a Pitigliano quattro anni fa. E` veramente da vedere. Non sapevo delle vie scavate dalle roccia, ma forse, la prossima volta avremo l'occasione di visitarle.
This was so interesting what a beautiful town. Love these stories. ❤
I was told there's no houses for rent in Tuscany don't bother don't even try
Ive been there 4 years ago… absolute la loved it!! Great place to live, like me being older or with a family…!
Absolutely breathtaking footage! I wasn’t aware of this little gem and it is truly fascinating to see it from the angles you so brilliantly chose to film and use. Thank you for an 11 minute getaway that I needed today. So happy to hear your parents are arriving soon. Being a Nonna is one of the greatest gifts for me and being here for my daughter and son in law is truly a blessing. Can’t wait for next week’s video.
✌🏻♥️
Your work is always wonderful. Top-level 💜
That was such a wonderful little documentary on this beautiful place. Reminded me of an inland Tropea built on the rocks. Another one for the bucket list :) keep well. Amazing work.
Extraordinary village that has been in my must see list for a while. After seeing this, I definitely will be going! Thank you so much for sharing Kylie …sending love and best wishes! I hope you’re keeping really well! 🥰♥️🌞
Ha,ha mangiare, bere e il slow living! Of course everyone loves Italy if that’s the life you live here! 😁 And living all as a big family (in the small villages mainly)! Great video Kylie, I never have enough of our beautiful (adopted) Tuscany! I explore it quite a lot lately but I will explore it even more, there are so many places that I still want to see! Hope that you are well! Thanks for creating another masterpiece! I will watch it again not to miss any detail! 🫶🏼😁
Another fabulous video….thanks for sharing your gifts!❤️
Outstanding video. Thank you for all the work you put into your beautiful channel

How beautiful, Kylie, agape mou. Thank you for sharing! So elegant and enchanting is your perception that it translates right through to us on the screen and tugs at our soul thinking about the history we are witnessing. Aren't we privileged to be a part of it all?! Very happy your parents are with you now. With all my blessings, m
Thank you for sharing, it's Beautiful !🌴🐊🍊

I loved this film Kylie! Thank you! It is fascinating to learn about and see the villages you visit, and to meet beautiful people who live in these places with so much passion and appreciation of their life and surroundings.💞
These Hill Top Villages are just amazing...... When I see them I always wonder how they were constructed...... They are Beautiful..... :-))) xxxxx
You revealed this delightful town to me! Now it's on my list of must-sees when I return to Italy. I love the way the town not only rises up from but also digs down into the rock.
AMAZJNG TOWN!!!

Thank-you for the lovely films of the world we all must cherish to preserve!

One of the prettiest places I've visited in my life. Grazie mille, Kylie!
Hi Kylie, hope all well with you. Hope your Mum and Dad get back to Italy soon. It will be nice to have them share in the joy of the new grandbaby. I know how much support and love and joy I had from sharing time with Nardi and Poppa when i had my son. It was such a lovely time of sharing in the family. I miss my parents so much but grateful for their support and the great times i shared with them. I wish the same love and blessings in your future together. Joyful times ahead! Love Sally xxx
I'm so glad you filmed this and shared it with your subscribers. Take really good care of yourself as you go through your last trimester together. It's a joint effort now and after your bambino makes his debut.
I am thankful to learn about this amazing place! I live in Canada where our history is young. Such richness of history, life and community. Looking forward to next Friday's video with your parents arrival. Many blessings to you all this week
Thank you for the tour & now I want to go see for myself. Sooo lovely!!! Yes, I was wondering where your little bambino bump was...appreciate you explaining!!! Happy to hear your parents are coming to visit!!! ENJOY TU VIDA!!!💖

Kylie your videos are like going to a very special first showing of a fabulous film at the cinema. Everyone of them is relaxing, informative, beautiful, and a mini vacation from daily life.
Thank you for taking time while you are fully pregnant to continue posting these lovely films.
This town and it’s history is amazing and stunning . The music is always lovely. Your taste is impeccable Kylie.
I so enjoy them along with everyone else. Much blessings and love to you, Guido and your family🥰🤗😘❤️
I truly can’t wait to watch you videos each week. It’s my Joy. You have an incredible cinematic talent. Thank you for having this channel 🙂
This series is SO TIMELY as I plan for 10 days in Tuscany next year followed by 4 days on the Amalfi Coast! I'm so excited!!
You can always find something new to search out in Italy. The adventures never stop. Thank you for sharing another little secret hideaway. Boy,did he speak really fast Italian that mayor!! thank goodness for your translation. by the way, we are coming to Italy September 11 through the 23rd. Going to attend my cousin Rosa‘s wedding in Gioia del Colle, Bari. Then we will head on after the wedding to the Amalfi and Sorrento area. We are traveling with two other friends. It’s a shame that I can’t meet you at a restaurant. (I respect your privacy & understand) But right now I know how busy you are with the baby and your parents and I look forward to seeing my Friday videos. God bless you! We love u!
Love this video 👍👍👍👍👍
Wow, Kylie. Thank you so much for the beautiful filming and conversations with locals; breathtaking and intimate. This town of Pitigliano is the very type of place my husband and I would so love to come back and explore if we should be so fortunate to visit Italy again.
Ben saluti Kylie ed Guido! Hope all is going well with the new one on-the-way. 🙏👍
So many amazing places like this in Italy. Thanks for helping us discover this one! The ancient road sounds spectacular and enchanting. I have been preparing for my first return since the pandemic to Italia in October. Northern Puglia first to see famiglia then Salento to discover it's beauty and charm for the first time and then to Sicilia to visit friends I have dearly missed for 3 years. 🙏🥰
Saw this and was very impressed. I came upon this sort of by accident. Was reading the fun and fascinating Kindle book A Zany Slice of Tuscany”written by a Canadian who fell in love with Italy , and then an Italian. Anyway, she and her new and extensive Italian family travel all about Italy, including the less touristed spots. So I would Google each of these interesting-sounding places. Thus I came upon this particular work of Kylie Flavell. I thought she was an Italian who had married an Englishman, with her looks and expressions. Of course, things are sort of the opposite. Either way, Kylie in this video was most charming, and was able to draw out what I thought was fellow Italians so well. So this is how I learned of her work. I must say, and I am sure everyone will agree, that her cinematography is superb. I do suspect that Kylie could one day direct actual films beyond personal accounts. Either way, she is clearly a very creative and sensitive individual, who knows how to give the feeling of a place. I hope for more of these videos that are perhaps less of the introspective type, and more externally directed. But every artist has the right to follow their muse. So either way, thanks for the great work, Kylie. Who is from the land down under, I know now.
By the way, her situation reminds me of another Australian, the dynamic Peter Maneas, who has his fun and fascinating series about Greece, “My Greek Odyssey “. His Greek background, and knowledge of the land, and language, and people, enables him to get below the surface, and really show the true and wonderful side of Greece.
Kylie is a different personality, of course, and is not of Italian background, I think, but has learned how to speak and move like an Italian, enough to be accepted and welcomed. So she too is able to reveal more of the real Italy than perhaps most other bloggers who are mere visitors to Bella Italia. Of course, just as in the case of the author of the e-book I referred to above, now Kylie gets to experience Italy from yet another dimension, as part of an Italian family. It shall be interesting to see and hear about.
I can't wait to see your parents back in Tuscany. And how the pool is going and the rest of the house
It will look beautiful
So exciting
Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Have a nice weekend dear Kylie and Guido ❤❤
Subscribed. Thank you for sharing and by doing so transporting me, and I'm certain so many others,
to this beautiful and magical place seemingly frozen in time... cita bellisima andiamo
Beautiful... Grazie x
Kylie, you demonstrate the power of how appreciation and gratitude expands your life. It seems that your passion for finding the beauty in life, brings you upon more to enjoy each day, and multiplies your blessings. You inspire me to do the same and I am so grateful for YOU! xo
What a fairytale place. So glad they aren't overrun by tourists but it is so quaint by itself. People lead a mellow life there and care about all their friends and family. Enjoy your weekend 😘 Busy times coming up. Ciao.
Pitigliano has been added to my 'MUST VISIT next trip!' list. Thank you, Kylie!
While living and working in Europe many years ago, I visited Italy often for work and for holiday's. I am of full Italian decent and wanted to explore my heritage. My mother told me her mother lived in a home that was carved out of the rock, the caves in Ischia, I thought that sounded like it could not be right, until I went to Ischia myself and saw all the caves along the road to Sierra Fontana and Fontana, the towns from my mothers side of the family (Scotti/Iacono). Our family names are carved into the obelisk in the town square. The same with my Father side of the family in Roccoforte Calabria, the town square is named after my family (Sgro). Through your videos I feel like I am in Italy again, and have been inspired to take the plunge to apply for Italian Citizenship to be able to return to the land of my grandparents. There is something about living and breathing in Italy that can only be described as being able to truly understand who I am and be myself, and loving life. I am very fortunate my grandparents/parents worked so hard and took the chance to come to America to give future generations a chance at a better life. I have been doing my own blood line research for citizenship through decent, and by chance came across all the original birth, death and marriage documents in Italian. Now on to learn Italian!
Oh l enjoy seeing this beautiful town Kylie. Magnificent 🌟🧡 Thank you.
What a stunning magical place to visit. You are our travel agent to places that are just as special as the bigger cities but hidden from tourist's who don't venture outside the usual places. Grazi!
Shalom from
Colorado! Thank you for sharing this beautiful town!!!
