Ciao Amici ! If you are interested in seeing more videos on valuable info on Calabria/Italy check out my playlist ruclips.net/p/PLdl3P2M2QYpzaFd0foMsEj0-PkwYA_LZ3
I’m 15 and my dream is to move to calabria ❤ thanks for these videos I see so much negativity when people talk about Italy but you really show the beauty of it all 💕
So happy you enjoy my channel
And that you want to move here
I agree on everything you said on the video, except on a couple of things. The absence (or very little presence) of the drug addiction problem is not due to the mafia controlling the drug market, rather to the population living mostly in small towns, where everybody know each other so the risk of alienation or other troubles that could lead to addiction is little. Still, I personally know people who had addiction problems even in Calabria, of course they are very very few compared to other places
Compared to Los Angeles I’d say Calabria is very tame. And that’s why I love it!!
interesting and important point.
My parents were born in Calabria, and I’ve been going back ever since. I speak the dialect and have many cousins and family I visit there. I’ve never felt unsafe or scared, from walking around villages at 4am in the morning to leaving my belongings on the beach full view. This might be because the locals know my family, even though I am a ‘ straniera’. From my experience (many times we’ve travelled and lived there) people don’t get drunk blind or off their heads to have fun, so less violence and disorderly behavior. If you don’t act like an idiot and be street smart, you’ll have no problems.
Exactly!! Calabria is the safest place ever! Next time you stop by please come say hi
The mafia is still in small inland towns in Calabria.
tourists are off limits
I really like your method of using comparisons and gives a good context for viewers and helps me better understand the (relative) crime level in Calabria. Thank you
Thank you for your lovely comment!!
I remember visiting Calabria three years ago in my parents village, strangers would invite me in for an espresso and they knew who I was and I've never met them in my life! They would say oh your Rocco son...I'm like WTF!?!?!?
I love that here tho. Everyone knows everyone here! Keeps people in check
@@CalabriaDreaming Yeah I remember all the little nonni watching the world go by, it's sad that the old dialects are dieing out, those little differences that made each little village or town unique.
💯 percent fact I experienced the same exact they amazing
that's how we are European we will invite strangers to our home feed them and let them go lol
how to move Calabria..I want to move there. how to apply for Calabria visa..thank you
Wow! You get more interesting with every video of yours I stumble into. Quite the interesting travel background.
Yes very unusual background lol
My grandfather’s family came from beautiful Calabria. How much does it cost to live there?
Depends! A lot less than the states
Thank you Lily, your info is very valuable to someone like me that likes a peaceful life. I used to live in LA and I know what you mean. Grazie mille!
Hi, I have been subscribing your channel now for at least 2 years, and I have following question: is the Ionian coast less humid then the Thyrean coast. Tried to find some climate data, but difficult. Humidity in the sense of humidity rate on warm summer days. Iam asking as I have some difficulties bearing hot days when humidity is above 60 percent. Would great to get your Feedback.
Thanks for your videos! They're wonderful ❤️
So happy you enjoy them! Thank you
You’re such a great speaker 😃 your vids are so engaging! Loving it!
Grazie Mille!
I went one week in Calabria 2015 it was so beautiful place everything is amazing there and the people of Calabria so nice 👍 i will visit again
Come and visit us!
Thank you so much for making this video 🙏, very informative. Where do you go hiking 🥾, the Sila Mountains 🏔?
Yea Sila but recently I’m obsessed with Serra San Bruno! Absolutely gorgeous
@@CalabriaDreaming That's awesome 🙂
you are super cool! been watching a bunch of vids, such an honest take on everything and its so great to hear about where you've lived!! visiting from NYC this September w my cousin. our fam is from agrigento Sicily but we never been to Calabria before! finally
September is the best month to visit! So happy you enjoy my honesty lol I can’t be any thing but. Let me know when you make it out here and if you come down towards soverato. I always love meeting new people!
Ciao Lilly. Very, very interesting and informative video. I hope your experience here in Buenos Aires was good. Unfortunately in BA crime rate has gone up. Anyway, have a wonderful weekend. Today is thursday and we are beginning a four days holiday😊😊. A presto🖐
I had the best time In BA! I know crime isn’t the best there but personally I didn’t experience anything except for someone stealing my scarf at a tango club lol. Pretty mild compared to bogota or Mexico City. All I know is Monday nights at conex is the best party ever! Only good memories in ba. love that city so much
Look forward to come to Calabria, I would like to visit roghudi vecchio in the aspromonte, roccaforte del greco etc etc!
Yes! So many beautiful
Places to see!
My dad is from a small village in Calabria and I was thinking of buying a home but they are really run down - then I thought maybe Reggio would be better. We were there this past summer (2023) for a day and I really liked the vibe of the city. Plus you have access to the trains and the airport which is much better than the village where you don't have access unless you drive a car. I've never felt unsafe in Calabria. I know the Mafia exists but if you mind your own business I don't think it would be a problem. But like you said they know who to target and if you own a business or even farm land then I think you may have issues. It's quite sad as the area is beautiful but people are either scared to go there or just don't consider it a place to visit because they have heard all the stories of the Mafia. Very sad for the youth cause there is such a lack of jobs and as much as many of them would like to stay they all go North to work. The Mafia is everywhere - I live in Canada and the gangs were under control when the Mafia had power now not so much and the gangs are all over the place causing problems. Thank you for your insight - just found your channel.
Where did you go to school in Philly? I went to Temple U and sadly, gunshots were the norm. It's so much worse now.
I went to at. Joseph’s but lived in the arts district next to Gerard st. Craziness!!!
@@CalabriaDreaming wow, small world! My life started in Philly and all my Italian relatives landed there from Naples, Feroleto Antico, and Serrastretta. As much as I used to love going to Philly, and as much as I have a city crust that exudes, "don't even try messing with me or I'll kill you" (lol), I won't go into the city now. It's TOTALLY bonkers now. Philly peeps keep voting the same way, the crime increases, and the zombie drugs are out of hand.
I went to LA a few years back. Then took a 5 am or 6 am bus through a rough neighberhoud. I felt a little unsafe and some unsual things happened like random people wanting to borrow my phone. But I never felt unsafe during daytime or in the centre at night time.
Things have changed drastically in the last two years. From what I hear downtown is donezo. Very sad to see such a beautiful place ruined. Breaks my heart
@@CalabriaDreaming thanks for sharing. I saw some images on the news but it from what you tell me it is worse than I hoped.
thanks for the insight. Hope to meet you next September on our recon trip. PEACE
I’ll be here!!
Great vid with an honest explanation of how it is
Why thank you!!
Very good explanation about Calabria. Just as I thought about Mafia and Calabria in General. I lived in New York in the late 80's and early 90's. I was robbed in front of Columbia Univ but never in Times Square. Calabria may not be as glamorous as Times Square, but, some similarities in terms of Mafia protection.
Omg the states are so dangerous compared to calabria! New York and la have gone to total shit
I just read about a family who had a farm in calabria and was very happy there ( some decades ago I think) then had to flee because of the mafia. Very sad. I wonder if you could open a business or farm there without having to deal with the maffia in Calabria or other southern regions.
I'll travel to Italian end of July and will stay in Milano and then in Rome. I planned to visit different regions and cities by train as I have before. Would you recommend Calabria for meeting and having a good time with locals? I want to have a nice experience there and want to avoid the typical tourism bs. I'm not afraid of the mafia, I think it would be nice to talk to some of them if I get the chance 😂 I'm from Austria. Would like to know your opinion about this. Thanks in advance
Cakabria is amazing if you want to get out of the tourist traps and meet amazing locals. Highly recommend
Solid perspective. Very helpful and insightful since you are living there.
Thanks Judith! Not everyone will agree with me but I give it like I see it
Very informative thank you
Anytime!!
Mafia mia! Lilo, you look amazing!
Im looking to buy an apartment in calabria, because in 2 years I go in rent . At the moment I living in Germany .I heart so much about calabria, Ima so exited.
If you are looking to buy here in calabria I offer house hunting services. Please email me for more info at Calabriadreaming@gmail.com
Another fantastic video Lilly! Great information. One of my tests for neighborhood safety is this.... what would happen to your car or home if you left the doors unlocked at night? If the answer is nothing then you are good to go! I hope that in the land of my ancestors the answer would be nothing.
Calabria is a special place. The people here are rooted into their communities and it’s truly very unique. Big hugs to you dear one!
My parents leave their house open all the time :-) But they live in a small town, so it is very safe.
If you live in bigger towns, I don’t know how I would feel about leaving my door open. It is not extremely dangerous but you never know.
I am interested in visiting Calabria particular to Bianchi and Gagliano for a genealogy/roots trip where my wife's ancestors lived in there 1890's before they came to North America and eventually to Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Any input about those two small places would be appreciated.
Gagliano you is beautiful I made a video on it!!! So cute and very nice people as per usual here in Calabria
@@CalabriaDreaming Thanks for the reply. I will find your Gagliano video for your unique perspectives. Thanks!
Very interesting but mafia is all around you and as you know in some regions Italy is down right dangerous.
I live in Howard Beach which has mafia but much lower key now since John Gotti died who lived 7 blocks from me. But this area is still very good although like all around our country since covid crime such as robberies, car theft, are up not to mention crazy people in Manhattan are out of control.
I would give Howard Beach a 2-3 👈😀👍
What regions in Italy are downright dangerous? Virtually none, crime official stats: Italy has 1/10th to 1/20th of that in America
Hi Im interested in starting an investment in Calabria but I'm afraid of the racketeerings that happens there
No racketeering here! You do need to speak the language tho
Don't open anything, it Is full of mafia. I'm calabrian
I’m in love with Calabria now ❤
My job is done now
@@CalabriaDreaming I was looking at flats and Calabria came up looks amazing which lead me to this video lol
@@allavante4700 if you need a place to rent or but check out my website Calabriadreaming.com
Philly! I won't watch the news except for storm coverage. It's still awful. You're not missing a thing. Except maybe for the South Philly style pork sandwich. Way better than any cheesesteak.
Ohhhh man what I would do for a cheesesteak tho!!! Best one was up in the art district next to my house. Best thing ever I was addicted! Yea no I don’t miss philly other then that. Those winters were tough. I do love my time there but I’m glad I’m here. Sending big hugs to you from us!
Hi we have apartment there in marina caulonia very nice rustic area 😊
Love that area
great video. I get it
So happy you get it!! Thanks for supporting our channel
Grazie Lilly to explain also this important part of living in Calabria. Thank you for your honesty. Hugs from Scalea.
Try having a relationship with someone in Calabria and trying to keep it a secret even though she's not from the same town/city everyone knows about it a day or two later. It happened to me 🤭😉
Oh yes they gossip about everything here
Same in Australia it's the same as in italia Mafia
I've bookmarked this video and will recommend all those that constantly throw the stereotype of mafia all over Italy and how bad, and the corruption, terrible! Crime stats: Italy is one of the lowest in the world, below South Korea, in certain types lower than Sweden, Finland, much lower in other categories than Belgium, New Zealand, France, certainly all Eastern Europe and just under HALF of the number reported in Germany, 1/10th to 1/20th the USA! Corruption, Italy is #43 of 180 in least, USA , #27 and that number is certainly too high with what's going on in USA today. I would put it possibly worse than Italy.
Calabria is very safe. I love it for that reason
U need look at ur oldest post..compare to todays..u really have picked up the "hand" language! Lv.it!! My family from ur area..just love its. In my bones❣
Yes I’ve come a long way haha!! I keep growing and expanding. Thank you for enjoying and supporting my little channel. Big hugs to you!
Let's be grateful that there is nothing in the news, because there is a good chance it won't be a good one!!!!
🌻🌻🌻🌻
Yes exactly Regina!!! Left you a vm right now. It’s raining cats and dogs!
You have the Most fascinating bakgrund ever!!!
Loving the videos !
How old was the shepherd.?
Lol old fart
Yes it’s a crazy background that’s for sure! Thank you for enjoying my channel
Mafia is a lobby, it's like a dictatorship, there is no petty crime in Calabria, but there is also no development except tourism and agriculture. Also there are differences within the region. The province of Reggio is definitely the most affected by organised crime, therefore by racketing and quality of services, Cosenza the least affected and probably the easiest where to open a business.
Yes totally agree. It protects from crime but it stunts any growth or development. I love cosenza it’s a great town and still have to go to Reggio. I love where we are on socerato area. Not too much mafia just enough lol
All of the province and villages inside have mafia families.
@@CalabriaDreaming you can't see the mafia but it is very worst than gangs in America, in Calabria you are not free of starting a business
@@michelealbanese3261 not all of them, many dont
@@michelealbanese3261 do you live here because i don't know anyone who has any problems with the mafia here. like zero none, so i am asking if you live here or if that is just hearsay
La mia famiglia è a Mon grassano... Sei bella xx
My kids go out by themselves here in Baltimore. They wear body armor and yes they are strapped but they go out..😅......A Shepard?
Ciao from Los Angeles! I think people here are just on edge because of the traffic 😉…. Btw, my wife and I will be in Calabria later this month. Please let me know if you have any insider tips or suggestions. Thx!
Hey fellow Los angelenos!! Email me at Calabriadreaming@gmail and I’ll give you my WhatsApp number. If you are passing through my hood let’s meet up!
And yes that traffic will do it. I laugh at people here when they complain
@@CalabriaDreaming Grazie. Sent you an email.
Great information. Very helpful
Everyone needs a little "Swagger" in their town.
Hey cuz!!! Sorry I keep falling asleep with sunny! Will try you tonight dang it I miss our convos!
Posto bellissimo
Grazie Mille!!
I'm subscribe your channel I'm from Pakistan I download the forum of job can you tell me how to apply for it
Philly still the same probably worse .I live in the suburb of Philly and you here about shooting every day in the news.I go there for the restaurants and the bakeries that is all .Intertament is not worth it there anymore ,to much crime.
Wow that’s still going on in philly? Last i was there it was all gentrified and hipster!! But yea west philly was no joke back in the early 2000s. Stay safe my friend! Compared to philly this place is a piece of cake
come to India you loved it 😊
I have been before and I do want to go back but it was a little scary at the time
But the term is 'ndrangheta, not mafia.
briganti is another name😂😂
Reggio! Catanzaro! Vibo!
Yes, Calabria is dangerous.
That’s ridiculous no it’s not
India is the safest country in the world you ever think of... The Indian Army is the best army after US and it's ranked 2nd in the world... So, in india mostly in westbengal beautiful i must say ❤
I went to Mumbai and definitely do not think it was safe. So very dangerous and so much poverty.
@@CalabriaDreaming Mumbai is not safe I'll talk about West Bengal Kolkata
@@CalabriaDreaming And Mumbai, delhi is not safe in india If you want to know which is the safest place i must say west bengal Lot's of lovely culture and peoples are there ❤
I would totally move there. But there's no good jobs. What do you do anyway? I'm in the concrete business
Video on how to make money here coming soon!
I was born in Tropea
Foreigners that buy there have no clue, everyone wants to run away from there! Why? Go to the north for better opportunities and life.
If you have kids do not go to the south. My father took my sister and l away from there when we were young because you have no future in the south of Italy. All my cousins went north for work. There is no investment and poor education.
I don't recommend you talk about these issues either for your own safety. Good luck.
From a calabrian.
Clearly you have never lived here so you should shut up. You know absolutely nothing
@CalabriaDreaming obviously you can't read because l am a born calabrese (from Reggio) as mentioned. 2 you have very poor manners and as someone who runs a business, it is a joke you speak to people this way. You have lived there for 6 years and now you are an expert?
This is not a place to live unless you are retired with no kids. Why anyone would buy there when italy is literally dying (youth leaving) is crazy, especially in the south.
You should speak the truth about the area. If you can't handle others opinions when they are just being honest, don't be on social media. Anyway makes no difference to me what you think.
All the best 👍
@@stefanochiriaco6175 born and lived in two different things baby. You are talking shit about calabria and it’s clear you have no clue. Fuck off please. Bye
You aren't doing yourself any favours, LOL! Just showing others who you are, keep up the great work! 👍
@@stefanochiriaco6175 hey loser guess whaaaaat. I could give two shits about what you think but I don’t. Ciao go back to your dumb life and stop calling yourself Calabrian bc you don’t know anything. Definitely do t come here
Hang on Lilly, i thought you were the BOSS of Calabria.....hahahaha
Actually sunny really is haha. He rules this place
@@CalabriaDreaming actually yes i agree !!!!
I would prefer gangs crime than mafia crime. Mafia is more dangerous in any level. You can't open a shop without pay protection money. This stops the economy and if you denounce them you are died or you will not have no more life. So for me it's worst in Calabria
Yea but I’ve never heard or seen any of that here. The mafia here is discrete and doesn’t come after small businesses. So that’s a myth
@@CalabriaDreaming I answered you now... Mmmm, no, Unfortunately it is not a myth, maybe where you live mafia doesn't ask money for small shops, but in my city it is. Even those who sell sandwiches on the street (at village festivals) are asked for money. Non so se ho scritto bene in inglese, aiutandomi con il traduttore
Hope all is well in Calabriafornia,Life has been busy so have not commented in a few months.Your hair looks Darker 🤔though,anyways hope you are still "Making Fat Cry during your workouts 😅"
Lol always making fat cry haha!! Yes hair is darker and I don’t like it. Actually going today for a cut. Haven’t been to hair dresser in over a year so this should be good. So happy to see your comment. Sending you big hugs
@@CalabriaDreaming Great luck at the Dresser and guess you will be a blonde soon 😎🍻
"Mafia families dueling it out!" .. 😂 you're so cute, and pretty!
rågsved has always been much worse than högdalen. compared to rågsved högdalen and hagsätra is safe.
Haha you know it well!! Yes I’m sure there are worse than högdalen but when I was growing up back in the 80s it was a ghetto. Hej from us in Calabria
@@CalabriaDreaming yes but now it doesn't matter anymore because there's shootings everyday somewhere in stockholm. the gang violence has escalated insanely these past couple of years. i would say today stockholm and malmö are no longer safe cities. it's out of control. the image the outside world has always had of sweden is gone. shoutout to söderort 124 :)
@@funkmachine9094 yup I hear the same things. My friends on both Stockholm and in skåne say the sane. It’s a damned shame bc I truly had a great childhood back in the day. Sad to know that it is not the same

Excellent post ❤❤❤
Thank you Lin!
Hi Lily, started watching your videos ..I’d tone down the extra enthusiasm. This video was supposed to be of Calabria but instead your telling us about e edu city you’ve lived in …and sorry, I lost interest. Stick with the theme and don’t vier off that like you are doing on this one. Also too much talking is boring 🤷🏽♀️🤔😴🥱
Hey Dora thanks for all the comments.How about go check out another channel. I don’t need another RUclips guru up in here criticizing my shit. I’m
Doing my best to share my experience with you people. If you don’t like it then ciao sweetie. Go create your own channel
@@CalabriaDreaming if your going to be a “RUclipsr” need to take the bad with the good!! 🤷🏽♀️
@@MsGringa24 thank you for your input darling.I hope you have a good day. Byeeeeee
the worst advice I've ever seen!!
Polish Mafia.. lawl.
It’s actually not the safeties places to visit but for the most part you need to your self awareness around oneself,, however if your not involved any of their things !! You will be find traveling here !
I respectfully disagree. I think Calabria is one of the safest places I’ve ever been to
Be care everyone you can be whacked here !
@@aurelioperez3517 please stop with your dumb ass comments
yes people dont use alcohol to have fun in Calabria
They really don’t! And it’s so refreshing!!!
lets make it clear the mafia is SHIT . Calabria would be a rich province if they allowed more business in the region . If that f........g underground shit didn't exist it would be a very very rich province . Plus many of the farms in Calabria are abandoned the young kids move north that is why Calabria stays poor in comparison to the rest of Italy .
Yes the mafia has don’t a lot to stifle the growth but also in a way to preserve it. Do you live here in Calabria too?
@Double Scarred yes the mafia really stunts any growth or development but the crime here is nothing compared to other parts of Italy. Milan and Florence are crazy right now. I feel grateful to be here even with all the problems. I think Calabria will be very different in the next ten years
@@CalabriaDreaming different how in the next 10 years?
LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Only the foreigners still from you in Calabria .
You are rude. I’m no criminal. How do you think we Americans should feel about you Italians who brought organized mafia to the United States? Should we also be rude like you to all the Italians in America? If anything you should thank us foreigners for coming here and spending our money in the poorest part of Europe
bla bla perche fai cosi
Thank you for your comment
