Thanks for watching! 😊

You're more than welcome! Thank you for the video suggestion. We will try to do that. 😊 We appreciate your comment.

@@TheSicilianLife Grazie mille!

@@zanav138 Prego ~ you're very welcome. 💕

Glad it was helpful! We appreciate you watching. 😊

Thank you so much! There are some Italians that speak English, especially in the cities. There is no official requirement, but we think learning the language is essential to truly enjoying being here. You can definitely start out little by little and with technology these days, and great UA-cam channels, you can start learning with 10 minutes a day. We're wishing you all the best. Thank you for watching! 😊

Oh, sounds like you need to make a plan. 😊 Thank you for watching. 💕

Thank you for the clarification. 😊Love how efficient this is. Thank you for watching. 💕

Thank you, Allen ~ appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching. 😊

Yes, there are plenty of short-term rentals available. Summer will be top prices, though. You can look on idealista.it, casa.it, immobiliare.it for "transitorio" which is temporary or short-term rental. 😊 Thanks for watching.

You're welcome, Matthew. Glad to help. Very cool! Wishing you all the best. 😊

I know ~ the value is truly amazing in Sicily. We can live there for the entire month for less than just our rent price in Texas. Crazy. Thanks for watching. 😊

Wow! How did ya’ll trace your lineage that far back?

Oh, Lucia, I'm so happy! Thank you for your kind words.😊 Glad our video is a bit of encouragement for you. Great on the dual citizenship! Yay! Wow, that's awesome family history. Godrano is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Carini. We certainly appreciate you watching.

😊 Awesome!

@nomehdrider, I think it's a lot cheaper than most, if not all, states in the U.S. right now. Thanks for your comment and for watching. 😊

@@TheSicilianLife We live simply, and for us, with no debt, it may be $4K/month

@@nomehdrider I hear you. We can live in Sicily, all expenses for the entire month for LESS than what our rent is here in Texas. Nuts!

You are so welcome! 😊 Thank you for watching.

Hi. You would need to check into citizenship in your state of residence currently. By marriage, by blood, etc. Lots of paperwork needed. It's not a process for the faint of heart. We appreciate you watching. 😊

Hi. I think it's 90 days -- you can check travel.state.gov for answers. Thanks for stopping by. 😊

😊 Hi, and you're welcome. I believe it's 90 days. You can search for info from reliable sources. Thanks for watching. travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Italy.html#:~:text=This%20regulation%20is%20strictly%20enforced,presence%20(dichiarazione%20di%20presenza).

Thank you. Oh, nice! That's a beautiful part of Italy. I appreciate your interest, but I don't disclose that publicly.💞 Thanks so much for watching!

Where in PR? I just spent time in Rincon with a friend back in January. My first trip a few years ago, we spent out time in San Juan, El Yunque, and Vieques

@@DanInDallas you passed right by me, I’m in Aguadilla 😍

@@LovesAlchemist No kidding, we actually stayed a night or two in Aguadilla! I put together a small video of our trip, I bet you would recognize a lot of where we went. I remember specifically we stopped by to see the little pyramids, I believe that was in Aguadilla

Hi, that's great that you have Sicilian heritage. 😊 It's a personal decision, but I would check out the closest Italian Consulate in your state. I became an Italian citizen by marriage so I am not familiar with what your process would be. You could start at the Consulate, check the info online about citizenship through blood, documents required, etc. We sure do appreciate you watching. Thank you. 💞

That's great, Amy ~ sounds like it made a lasting impression on you. 😊 Yes, you and me both...love channels about Italy. Glad you are considering Sicily. You're welcome. Thank you for watching. 💗

Thank you for your kind words. We tried to cover what we'd want to know if we were considering Sicily. Thanks for watching. 😊

You and me both! I'm surprised this "apartment" we rented actually went for that. I think they gauge it on what the locals would be willing to pay which is much lower than someone coming in from a more expensive country. Carini is not isolated, w/38,000 pop. and close to the capital, yet the cost of living is very low. You're right, I'm sure it's even lower in isolated places. Thank you for your great comment and food for thought. We appreciate you watching. 😊

Thank you, Janet. 💞 I appreciate that. Yes, indeed, it definitely is worth it! Yes, it costs a lot more in Texas. I haven't done the side-by-side comparison yet (maybe idea for video). Utilities are mixed: some fixed, some on usage. The electric/gas is usage-based. Car insurance based on hp of vehicle. I know that our entire budget in Sicily is less than just our housing cost in Texas! 😯 It's insane how the cost of living has risen in the States. We appreciate you watching. 🥰

@TheSicilianLife I believe a lot of Americans choose to retire in Italy. I can understand if it is much cheaper to live.

Yes, you are absolutely right. A lot of Americans have an Italian heritage and are going back to their roots so to speak. Yes, it is definitely less expensive. It can be somewhat less expensive or MUCH less expensive depending on whether you're by the sea, in a major city or inland and/or rural. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 😊

Thank you for the kind words! YES, it's an amazing thing for Croce to be back where it all started. We appreciate you watching. 😊

Thank you ~ we have travel plans, but not quite yet. Nice! I've never been that far south on the island, but Pietraperzia seems like a really nice area. 🌞

Hi Darren, well, regardless of where we live, we will always vote either in person or absentee ballot. God bless America! ❤️🤍 💙Thanks for watching.

🥰

Yes, it definitely will. Thanks for coming by. 💞

We are currently in the States, but Palermo Province doesn't usually get the easterly winds. Mostly comes from the south. We get a lot of Sahara dust. Thanks for watching, Lisa. Much appreciated. 💞

Thank you so much! Around Christmastime ~ so exciting. 😍

Yes, they are a bit, but they do shrink as they cure. Thank you for watching! 😊

​@@TheSicilianLife Ohh...😮 I love Olives on my salads and hoagies 😋👏👍💯❣️ I Love Your Videos and Your Content ‼️‼️‼️👏👍💯❣️

@pamelawalton, you and me both! I eat black olives in my salads all the time. 😋 Thank you for the kind words. Glad you're enjoying our videos. 💖

Oh, thanks ~ yep - Croce does a great job at making that recipe. I usually make it, but I was filming that day. 💚

🥰 Yep, she was one of a kind.

Thank you. Yes, we really had a good time on that trip!🚅

Yes, she was there ~ always to welcoming. 💓 I appreciate it.

Yes, it does. Thank you! 🩷

For sure~! The waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea are gorgeous. ✅

Yes! The food is incredible! Thanks for watching. 😍

Mosty definitely. Thanks for coming by. 😊

Oh, it's a small town, but definitely significant! Thank you for commenting. 🤩

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. You're right; it's definitely out of control. I'm sorry you were priced out, but good for you about moving abroad! Adventure of a lifetime. 💚 Interestingly, we will be posting a video about what it costs to live in Sicily this coming Sunday. Thanks for watching. 😊

@@TheSicilianLife Our choice by far is Italy, we have a beautiful condo in Sulmona , Abruzzo plus my husband qualifies for is Italian citizenship because of the Jure Sanguinis law of having a direct line to his great grand father in Abruzzo, so very happy to live here for good.

Hi, Lorraine. Oh, how wonderful for you! What a blessing you went through the process of citizenship! 💚 Thank you for watching and for the great comment. 😊

Hi Bryan, thank you for the awesome comment and for sharing about your family. That's great! 💚 It's a wonderful thing to have that family history. You should make plans to go because you would love it! Thanks for watching. 😊
