This guy is awesome, doing something he loves and making his own reality but staying completely sane and productive as a member of society. The world needs more people like him.
People can say what they will about Nicolas and his friends, but look around: smiles on everyone, not a soul harmed, and a dream being lived out. Enjoy the journey dear Hobbit, may the road be easy and the company joyful.
Absolutely love how wholesome this is. We should all try to be a little more Hobbit. Well done, Nicolas, I hope you inspire hundreds more to be a bit more like you x
So be a loser who lives in a imagery world of role playing. He drives a car and wears shoes. I think there is mental condition here no one is recognizing nor addressing. The fact he's got hundreds of loser like him to follow is disturbing. Don't incourage or condone this childish behaviour. What some people do to escape their responsibilities. And pls save me the stupid argument about how he causing happiness. Happiness? 40,000 euros is only making him happy for the obvious reasons. Anyways I've said my 2 cents. Not wasting my time on a video that was given attention to a unfinished town. I bet this video was made only for new financiers. Smh.
@@sid6856 Thank you Sid for your 2cents! Maybe I am mad or stupid, but my life is one billion times more funny and happy than yours! We all must die, but not everyone can live a happy life. I can say my life is wonderful. And you?
Two things... This was wholesome af and he seems like a really down to earth guy who built and is continuing to build a great community 2nd I want to learn Italian now
@@goldguy4185 Beautiful indeed. I've heard snippets before but to see it spoken from a person who's talking about his passion really made the language to me stand out more. Knowing Spanish, i want to give it a try now haha
Really loved this. Shoutout to Nicholas for being unapologetically himself. Does what he loves and tries his hardest to share it with others so they can enjoy themselves too. Nothing but respect for a guy like that. We need humans to be more like this.
This guy is aaalllalright....! That fact that he created all of that based on his love for something like Lord of the Rings.. .. truly is Awesome... In fact he may be on to something ...
the hobbit is the best a part of man, humble, honest, Always trying to do the best thing even when it’s the most difficult. We should all strive to be more like Bilbo and Frodo and last but not at all in the least, Sam Gamgee
I was born and raised in the area that Tolkien was inspired and where he lived during creating the Hobbit books. South Birmingham. Sharehole park and Moseley bog and areas around Edgbaston. Outside London the largest industrial city of England. But you can definitely relate the areas mentioned to the books
This is definitely one of the most inspiring Vice news stories I've seen in a long time! I think we all could use a break from reality from time to time?
I can't help but attach some Italianness to this whole thing. I remember them being so friendly when I was visiting Florence and Venice. Anyway, well done, Nic. Bravo, sir.
Truly inspiring. He is not taking himself too seriously so who could hate him or denounce him? He is just loving life and living it in the best way possible.
“Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream."
This is extraordinary! To me the Shire was always quintessentially England, and I thought it wouldn't translate well into other cultures. Maybe the Shire is part of every culture, a slower, simpler, bucolic way of life, where good food, beer, wine and merrymaking are enjoyed in large measure. Abruzzo, is well know for it's wine, I'm sure someone will tell me which local wine would pass for Bilbo and Frodo's "Old Wynyards".
Would he be a Stoor, Fallohide, or Harfoot? Seriously, I have nothing but praise for this gentlehobbit. He is bringing joy and happiness to MY life, just by being what he wants to be. Well done sir Well done
The third guy talking is a youtuber, he makes comic sketches, his name is Claudio Colica, with Alessandro Meta he created "minimad", with his brother Claudio made "Le Coliche". He's a legend
I've been at the shire multiple times! It's my favourite place ever. Unfortunately this year I won't be able to stop by, but I can't wait until next time!
I don’t even care all that much about the LOTR but this guy is just fucking incredible and I’m happy to see there’s still something good going on in my country after all
È meraviglioso avere in Italia la Contea...La Terra di Mezzo è il posto dove vorrei vivere. La Contea è un pezzo de Il Signore degli Anelli dove regna la pace e la tranquillità. Un sogno che tutti vorrebbero si avverasse.
This is cool! I expected most of them to be wearing sandals, handmade leather shoes or be barefoot. Seeing everyone in sneakers was disappointing, but it’s still a cool lifestyle!
Fair play to the man, he seems happy and im sure this will make a lot of other people happy too, sorry... i mean Hobbits. If i had the chance to live somewhere thats like Red Dwarf, or the Normandy or Citadel from Mass Effect... then i'd do it in a heartbeat myself. 😂
I should move there. Im 165cm "tall" with shoes size 42, flat, extra wide feet. I always say I have hobbit feet. Would love to dress like a hobbit and live in nature. Haha
ahaha yeah he's going to build a great place for all nature lovers. I started to follow his UA-cam channel some months ago and he seems a really nice guy.
When you want to laugh at a grown Italian man for playing a hobbit, just remember. He has 120,000 as of this video. It's probably grown exponentially since then, he has an entire camera crew filming him and people are giving him $ to continue this dream. Okay, now laugh at the men playing with swords in the field.
Perfect that Italy is surrounded by the Mediterranean... you know... Medi = middle, terra = earth... He lives in the closest thing possible to Middle Earth!

Beautiful language eh??
@@goldguy4185 Beautiful indeed. I've heard snippets before but to see it spoken from a person who's talking about his passion really made the language to me stand out more. Knowing Spanish, i want to give it a try now haha
@@OfficialKraze The more the merrier haha!
Nice ! But is one of the most difficult language to learn. Some Italians don't know how to speak properly 😂
Good luck with that ;) don't aim for perfection, it can get very very trsky to learn but B2 is matter of year or 2.

I love this group of free and beautiful souls.
I'm Italian and I can confirm he's a real hobbit
This was the greatest and most wholesome thing I’ve seen in a long time. As a lifelong Lord of the Rings and Tolkien fan, I salute you!

This man is living his best life....wish I was there with him...need and want positive people in my life...keep doing what ur doing love..

Glad that dude found what makes him happy.
Love lord of the rings, and this is suprisingly wholesome
Thank you Kanggoo!
man, italians knows how to live :)
Good food and beautiful landscapes are helping a lot 😄
Unfortunately Just him does
Guy is living his best life! This looks like a great time. How fun and wholesome.

5:40 This is the Italianest part of the video
If youre having a bad day and a huge LOTR fan, this is a must watch.
Truly inspiring. He is not taking himself too seriously so who could hate him or denounce him? He is just loving life and living it in the best way possible.

This is like the ultimate nerd, I love it.
This wasn’t just any hole, this was a hobbithole, and that meant comfort

Cosplay has nothing on this. This is superb!
I’d like to participate just to enjoy the wonderful Italian food. 👌
Wishing all the best to Nicholas (Bilbao) on his wonderful journey.
The Italians don't hold back on anything. Cars, Motorcycles, Boats, and now Hobbits. They make some of the best in the world, lol.
Would he be a Stoor, Fallohide, or Harfoot?
Seriously, I have nothing but praise for this gentlehobbit. He is bringing joy and happiness to MY life, just by being what he wants to be.
Well done sir
Well done
Yes 🙌
There are some video titles that demand to be watched...this is one of them
The third guy talking is a youtuber, he makes comic sketches, his name is Claudio Colica, with Alessandro Meta he created "minimad", with his brother Claudio made "Le Coliche". He's a legend
Keep waiting for Gandalf to show up with the best weed in all the land!
No doubt these hobbits have fantastic weed, lol
The finest kush :)
Your love of the hobbits leaf has clouded your mind Gandalf.
Greatest weed west of the shire
Hell yuh
amazing xD I hope it gets bigger and becomes an actual settlement
I know right. Imagine it becoming a real town, I would definitely live there
I must say this is the first time I've ever seen a 6-foot Hobbit😂😂😂
LOL
This guy changed my life. He made me a very happy guy.
Are you still happy? ☺️
Living his best life. Love t!
there were several times where i just gazed and listen to his voice. italian is a beautiful language man.
He's awesome. This is actually genuine. A refreshing change from a bunch of terrible, cheesy cosplay going on everywhere else. Seems like a great guy.
Yaaaaas. UA-cam so much more wholesome in Italian :-)
The most wholesome thing i have seen yet.
Thank you Django!
That’s so sick. Never stop chasing your dreams hobbit sir
Hahahahha che forte che è! 🥰💯Nicolas is 1000% the coolest person ever!
I thought I embodied Hobbit lifestyle well but this guy is next level and I love it with a passion
They look like they are having a great time 😂
He has an autograph of Warwick Davis as Willow... He already wins at life.
3:27 the cameraman really said ⛳⛳⛳⛳
He hits the nail when he speaks about friendship being the heart of Lord of the Rings.
I've been at the shire multiple times! It's my favourite place ever. Unfortunately this year I won't be able to stop by, but I can't wait until next time!
Finally something nice from vice ....the world is not all shitty. A lot good things happen all the time we have to find it and make it happen.
Grande Nicolas ❤️
I don’t even care all that much about the LOTR but this guy is just fucking incredible and I’m happy to see there’s still something good going on in my country after all
I want to join this legend!
Protect this man at all cost.
Glad to see there is still some good in the world. Post more of this stuff Vice!

To bad there's not a place we could live so peaceful so graceful , the ways of old in Harmon....
This is the type of video you get in your recommended in 5 years
Nicolas like a regular sized Andre the giant
Underrated comment
Avevo già visto il video di progetto hapiness, spero che Nicolas riesca a realizzare il suo sogno ❤❤
That halfling’s more of a whole-ling

This is cool! I expected most of them to be wearing sandals, handmade leather shoes or be barefoot. Seeing everyone in sneakers was disappointing, but it’s still a cool lifestyle!
4:22 that’s one of the weirdest throws I’ve ever seen. The way his back leg does a tiny shuffle 😂
Ma sotto la bancarella dell'erba pipa che vendono?? 🤣
You can say he is reincarnation of the tallest hobbit in Lotr, ancestor of one of four main characters
Fair play to the man, he seems happy and im sure this will make a lot of other people happy too, sorry... i mean Hobbits. If i had the chance to live somewhere thats like Red Dwarf, or the Normandy or Citadel from Mass Effect... then i'd do it in a heartbeat myself. 😂

Thank you for showing me this! ☺
Italian hobbit is more fashionable than most Americans
This is honestly nice!
This makes me ridiculously happy
Thus is amazing a dream come true
Great great great story and documentary. Thank you Vice
This guy is living my dream 🥺 LOTR4ever
Big difference between a one day event and spending your entire life like that lol.
Genius. This guy is inspiring me
I really needed this today 💗
awww my heart .. what a wholesome dude :)
This is not weirdness, this is loving life. If people cannot understand that, I'm very sorry for them.

4:22 not surprised at the form in that throw.
Love this story!
He looks like he's going on an adventure.
Italian LARP game is strong.
Perfect that Italy is surrounded by the Mediterranean... you know... Medi = middle, terra = earth... He lives in the closest thing possible to Middle Earth!
This dude is my hero now
The italian hobbito 🤌🏼🤌🏼
He would have a BLAST at Shiretown Shindig and Second Breakfast.
Claudio de le coliche 😂
I loved this so much. Well done lads
This is more Lord of the Rings than the garbage series we got now for $1bil
Fan fact: gentile in italian means kind
If i was rich i would buy a huge plot of land with rolling green hills and build my own shire.
Either I found my new home or I now have to make this happen in my home town
Where u from?
