I’ve followed your channel for about the last year and I’ve really enjoyed your content. I live in Toronto (born and raised) and am of Italian descent. You are right. Toronto does have the largest population of Italians (people of Italian descent) outside of Italy. It’s a nice city, lots of diversity, clean, safe, with a high standard of living, but it’s not Italy. It doesn’t have the culture and beauty of Italy, but no country does. Italy is a truly special place - the people, food, climate, art, history, landscapes, lifestyle. You can’t beat it. I’ve visited many times and long to go back. I’d also love to live there one day. Anyway, I can show you all the best Italian joints if you do end up Toronto. All the best to you guys. 🇮🇹 🇨🇦
Milan, stay in Italy...art, architecture, museums, magnificent churches, culture, food, the people, pistachio cornetto's and pistachio gelato, which I am addicted to. Toronto is freezing cold.🇮🇹
I’m a native Torontonian and many of the posted comments regarding the city are accurate: sure lots of Italian-Canadians here (I’m of Italian and French descent), particularly in the northern suburb known as Woodbridge but only in appearance and presentation given few actually speak Italian, especially second and third generation - you really have to search for “authentic” Italians. House prices and rent here are absolutely insane and we really are just a junior facsimile of the US with a parliament instead of a White House and maybe fewer anti-vaxers. You would be better off returning to New York or even LA. Having said that, you were an inspiration for me to seek Italian citizenship via Jure Sanguinis which is currently underway and I’m considering my options regarding relocating to Italy.
hi Katie, Italy has many beautiful cities to choose to live in. Turin, Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome ... We have many defects but we remain the most beautiful country in the world. Landscapes, art, culture and food. A big kiss to Kiro ❤️ and a hug to you 💖
That's all Nord. How about beautiful sud?
@@nd493 Southern Italy is very beautiful but perhaps for those with completely opposite cultures it is incomprehensible in many things. I forgot Sardinia among the places where you can live. The sea is much better than the Caribbean and the cuisine is truly delicious. If they want to continue their adventure in Italy they only have to choose 😊.
@@nd493 Southern Italy is beautiful, but if you work on internet you need that 5G.
@@HamelinSong 😂
Clearly, you have chosen Toronto, but Milan could have been the choice of the life. However, how is possible that you would not miss the historical monuments of Italy? I live in France and the part that I miss the most it's absolutely the historical parts of my country, literally everywhere
So sad you're leaving Puglia! I transplanted here 8 months ago and I loved watching your channel because you understand living in this amazing region! But I love the rest of the videos too but I'm secretly hoping that you stay in Italy and move to Milano!
Milan from October to May and Puglia from June to September ... The perfect combo 😂😂😂👍🥰😍
If you want to keep on speaking Italian, then staying in Italy 🇮🇹 is the right thing to do, whether it's Milan or other cities. You will miss beautiful Trani and the warmth of a southern Italian town, but you will not miss any chance to make tours in our magic country.
I love your Italy videos so much I would be terribly sad to see you leave. I live in Canada and I am of Italian heritage and though we could definitely use more people with your upbeat personality and obvious kindness the selfish person in me wants you to continue the Italian journey. Whichever destination you and Connor choose I will stick with you but god I enjoyed Italian through your eyes.
Toronto is a shadow of what it once was. Little Italy has very few Italians anymore. Cant believe it even made the list. I think you will regret it. Milano would be my choice.
As a Montrealer I’d say skip Toronto and live in Montreal! Italian community is massive here and let’s face it…we have great bagels🥯
Esiste un detto in Italia: quando arrivi in Italia piangi ma quando te ne vai dall’ Italia piangi 2 volte! L’Italia è unica. La differenza tra le altre Nazioni è il calore degli affetti delle persone che trovi oltre ad essere la più bella Nazione , ad avere il miglior cibo, la più grande cultura e le più belle città del mondo.
....quello è il detto coniato per Napoli non per l'Italia.
@@Noname-xi7xi anche per l’Italia
@@pierangelorusso6419
Se lo dici allora sarà sicuramente così.......
If this covid nightmare will finish Milano could be a good choice because you could easily visit Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, you can go to London and get back daily if you want.
You could have all the Europe at your disposal to choose to visit by car or by plane more easily than Puglia and obviously you are always in Italy and you can continue also the Italian exploration.
A kaleidoscope of opportunity and flavours.
Canada it's near to USA... period.
Wishing you all the best with your move! And if it’s Milan, although most of us do speak English, you’ll find that not to be the case in supermarkets, markets and so on (btw you can easily form the same bonds with market sellers here!). You can definitely keep speaking Italian, especially if you don’t live in the city centre - at the same time we even have American supermarkets so you can always feel at home, whatever home may be on that particular day. Good luck!
Katie I’m a subscriber and in my opinion “the whole reason for being” of your channel was to show people your journey to live your life in Italy, speak the language, become a citizen…and to have people ( who are very interested in Italy 🇮🇹….living there through your eyes)…if it’s London or Toronto….you need never speak Italian again? and having been brought up in the UK with relatives in Toronto….have interest in neither place….but good luck on your journey….
You would hate Toronto, the weather most of the year is freezing and the cost of living is nearly impossible.
I agree. I live here. The winters are horrible and the cost of living is insane.
All the Italians can understand that you need to move for new jobs opportunity, that’s what the italians did for 2 centuries, now that you are used to the coutry, learning language, and knowning the culture so well it’s a pity to leave italy now, i vote for Milan, it’s not trani of course, the people are colder but it’s the same country.
Mi piacerebbe che restassi in Italia, quindi a Milano... ma se hai fatto un video sulle cose che ti mancheranno dell'Italia, devo escluderla. A Londra hai già vissuto, quindi dico Toronto (sarai anche più vicina alla tua famiglia).
Dai Katie come fai ormai ad andare via dall'italia, sei adottata totale ormai, Milano tutto la vita, certo decisamente più caotica della tranquillità paesana di Trani come ovvio sia però almeno sempre qua rimani ❤️👌🏻
Wishing you both the best of luck! I'm only a few months into Italian living and I already feel you on all the things I'd miss if I left. I hope you find just as much happiness in your next destination!
Milan is a good choice, you got the 'european city vibe' but as soon as you leave the city you are back in 'Italy'. Canada is the country I would move to if I had to leave Italy but man, staying is Europe has it's perks, especially when you grow older. The history, the food...you can visit a different country every weekend! Stay here, your body will thank you in the long run ;)
I was born in Toronto, Canada. My parents were born in Puglia (Bari) then immigrated to Toronto where my brother and I were born and now we all live in California. LOL. Where every you chose to go I am sure it will be awsome.
Hopefully it's not Toronto, life in Europe is much more interesting and curious than Toronto which is very similar with the USA.
Sinceramente,te lo voglio dire,come mi sento,dopo aver visto questo video,anche se magari può non farti piacere.Pensavo che dopo un anno passato in Italia tu avessi capito e ti fossi perdutamente innamorata,tanto da non andare più via,tanto da non poter immaginare di vivere altrove.Mi sento come un amante che sente dire dalla persona di cui è innamorato "Ti lascio perchè ti amo troppo"...Ti auguro ogni cosa positiva per la tua vita e la tua carriera ma spero che l'Italia ti mancherà tanto come se ti mancasse il respiro e capirai che solo qui puoi essere felice!
I am guessing Milan. Moving is always so hard… We’ve done a lot, I know. I’m sure you’re going to miss this nice little Italian town. I sure would!
Please don’t leave Puglia. I have been following you (and subscribed to your club) anticipating my own move to Lecce. Your videos have been a great source of inspiration and insight about moving there. I’ve recognized so many points of communality with my frequent trips to this lovely area. I had actually been to Trani a few times when visiting my father’s birthplace in Corato.
Toronto has the largest population of Italian Canadians maybe ... not Italians. I met many Italian Canadians when I lived there, most of them do not speak Italian and think that meatball spaghetti and chicken parmigiana are Italian recipes. Ti ho detto tutto.
Spero che sia Milano! (per favore, per favore, Sii Milano!)
Toronto !!!! That would be awesome ...... Great town .... :D
Trani looks sooooo beautiful - I’m so sad for you both that you are leaving! When I was in Greece in the before times, that is one thing that struck me… all the local, oh so fresh fruits & veggies. I still dream of the tomatoes… I have never had such amazing tomatoes in my life!!!
im from south america and been living in toronto for most of 50 years and yes the gta or greater toronto area has a large italian community but its not like when i moved here like it used to be 3 little italy but now some still live there but most have moved north of toronto, woodbridge, and king township and further north. toronto has some of the most italian restaurant but a few are real authentic. as a south american and have many friends of italian heritages believe me its the only community i love to live. the old italian area have been taken over by south american because we love to follow the italians.
Don't move to Toronto. Trust me. Stay in Italia. You'll regret coming here (Toronto). Way too expensive!!! I'm moving to Puglia when Covid eases up.
Hope u stay in Italy ♥️ Italy Katie is such a vibeeeeeeeeeeeee
I think you moving to Toronto, otherwise you wouldn't post a video about things you'll miss in Italy. At any rate, good luck in the new place.
Bologna!! Stay in Italy Katie!
I doooo love Bologna!
Your Italian after this year has gotten so good. So proud of you
1. Milan
2. London
3. Toronto…big mistake
Hi Katie! Exciting news! I live in Toronto!!!
My family is Italian, from Sicily! Your gonna love Toronto!
Strange but true:
If you travel from Milan by car the same amount of km to reach Trani you can go to Hamburg or in other direction Bacelona, or Paris, or Wien, or Prague, same kilometers.
Obviously there are a tons of great european destinations closer to Milan.
I’ve lived on 2 of Canada’s coasts and have lived in SW Ontario (where Toronto is) and in Alberta (north of Montana) SW Ontario is amazing in the summer. The Great Lakes are incredible, but it would for sure be 3rd place for me. Likely because I am Canadian and would rather live in Europe. Enjoy the Journey no matter where you go.
Really nice to see a nice video of you guys. Oh fioroni are my favourite, and getting spoiled eating them fresh directly from the tree in my countryside has no price.I would guess is back in London.
i hope Milan, or better , one of numerous small town near milan . Remember, Milan is a city a bit atypical compared to the rest of Italy, more international , let's say
Although Toronto is FREEZING COLD right now, would love to welcome you!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤗🧡Ti aspettiamo anche a Venezia!
Have you considered the possibility of moving to Italian-speaking Switzerland? The city of Lugano which is located 70 kilometers from Milan, could be a good choise.
I hope you will stay in Italy, but if I had to choose, I would go for Toronto. So, unless you go back to London, but even to London, all are very good choices. In bocca al lupo Katie, ti seguiremo sempre! 😀
Un abbraccio a te!
Though I grew up in Boston, have family and spent all my summers near Toronto, live the last 20 years in southern Germany and both my parents come from Italy……I pick staying in Italy. I hope you move to a smaller area just outside of Milano.
Hoping it is Milan and you are continuing to use/keep your newfound Italian citizenship. Also selfishly, I will be having some travels to Milan over the next couple of years and would love to see your recommendations for Quirky spots to hit (or maybe even a meet up for wine or gelato).
You're so right! In the begging I was like what this green thing is? and now I'm addicted to pistacchio cream and gelato and pistacchio in panettone. Basically, pistacchio in everything.
If you really want to explore italian cooking culture and the italian way of life you can't leave italy after one year. Therefore Milan, Italy.
Reading your book, I was wondering when your next chapter in life starts. Having said that, I am a German living in Spain, but I also have lived many years in the USA. Next year I probably have to move back to the USA to take care of my aging in-laws. I dread leaving the Mediterranean. So many great things here I love and do not want to miss. Wherever you move I hope it will be another great chapter on your life. All the best.
Wherever your life will bring you, you'll bring your newly conquered and well deserved status of "Italian". And I don't refer to citizenship strictly!
Having survived bureaucracy, thefts, messy queuing will help you survive and adapt anywhere in the world. Italian warmth, openness and "ľarte di arranguarsi" will help you thrive like it did for emigrated Italians everywhere.
I like to hear about you discovering our country, but I will love to hear your Italian take on whatever place you will end up!
PS
Of course this is about the three of you! 😉
This comment made me smile so much :) :) grazie 💓
Oh, I truly hope it’s Milan! 💚🇮🇹❤️
Not sure why I started watching your videos but - as an Italian who lived a long time abroad - I loved them 🤣
I hope you'll chose Milan!
Lol I wish you could come back to New York, but alas that wasn't an option! :') I hope you find adventure and joy wherever you, Connor and Kiro go! I kinda think you might stay in Italy, so I'm guessing Milan for now.
Also, those figs look delicious!!
When I read "we've got news..." i though something like "we will be 3 soon", but it is not, anyway good luck for the future!
it feels like you guys are leaving Italy too soon ! I hope it's Milan, it's a truly great city always growing and innovating And also! In Milan you will not find sooooo many people speaking english! lol. Trust me. Your italian is really good too. Big hug! xxxx
Oh my goodness, pistachio cream is DELICIOUS. I'm lucky enough to have a Sicilian store near me in the States where I can get it, and it's one of the most wonderful things I've ever tasted. In terms of what's available in the US, it truly does rival Nutella.
If you end up in Milano, try the gelato in menagio. Best gelato we had during our Italian visits.
Milan is the best option.
Obviously Milan would "protect your investment" in Italy and things Italian - yes, it's a big city, but so are your other choices. Good luck in your decision making process.
Wherever you go I wish you the best .... sure that going to another country ... it's hard .... when you feel like eating a serious ice cream how do you do? Ciao Katie!!
the hazelnut cream is also fabulous
Greetings from Toronto! 🇨🇦 I hope it’s Toronto - reach out as we can help you get settled. FYI - we made mozzarella because of one of your earlier videos and it turned out really well!
Si, la mozzarella canadese: la mozzarella cheese! Ma fammi il piacere!
Ahh yay! I'm so glad you made the mozzarella and that it was a success! That makes me so happy :) And glad to know there's a vote for Toronto ;)
@@luigipascolo8600 cosa c'è di male nel provare a fare la mozzarella in casa? Datti una calmata.
@@lorenzofurnari Nulla! E poi io non sono agitato magari lo sei tu
Mi dispiace che non ci siamo conosciute. Ti ho conosciuto su UA-cam ma avrei voluto conoscerti dal vivo, vivo a Bari quindi non troppo lontano! Buuut many wishes for your future! I think you've moved to Toronto, the interiors of the room and the sentence "torneremo" with that emphasis gave me that vibe.. cuz if u were just one and half hour away by flight u wouldn't be so sad!
Torontonian with a house in Puglia. You are welcome to come to our place near Ostuni when you need a trip back home !
My guess is Milan, since you've already lived in London. Canada is too close to home. :D Can't wait to find out if I am right!
Hello from Toronto. It’s only cold in the winter lol. Our four seasons are beautiful especially fall. Large Italian community. Me being one of them.
My Wife and I will be visiting Bari Italy this coming July. Do you have any hotel recommendations by the sea. Also I want to visit my grandparents village in Corato which is the Bari province . Enjoy your videos so much and have learned a lot from them. Grazie tanto. Paul & Nicolina from Rochester NY. Just across from Toronto on Lake Ontario!
London, UK!!! For sure look at the background she is shooting in!
Milano or London! Where’s the pup? It seems like you might have left him with a pet sitter on the other side of the Atlantic so he didn’t have to do the back and forth on the long flight. Either way, I wish you all the best! It’s always exciting to start a new adventure!
Fingers crossed for Milano!
Katie said some of her big news with a wink…baby??
Milan - please don’t leave Italy :) xxx
We will miss you Katie :( have a good life!!
Althought I live in China, I am italian and very proud of it. I am originally from Lake Maggiore, not very far from Milan. Trust me, Milano is the best choice and it is very close to Many other countries all around Italy. Cheers
Milano!
Move to Milán, please! No dejes Italia!!!
Hi Katie I think you're going to Toronto and I'll be sad to see you leave italy! I have a question I don't know if I missed it from previous videos but how did you learn to speak so beautifully what type of classes did you take? Can you share?
Ciao Katie! Hope it’s Milano! Auguri!
Milan hopefully
I suggest Rome, I lived in Milan, it's very different than Trani... Wet weather, noise and traffic. Between Milan and London I suggest London, much better than Milan.
I thought Argentina had more Italians outside Italy that anywhere else….Buenos Aires would have been my pick over Toronto
7:02 Just the time to feel like a proud pugliese and already have to leave 😉 Considering the topic of the video I think it'll be London or Toronto.. but I Hope for Toronto. In any case buon viaggio 🤗
Yeah, I would miss fresh veggies and fruits too if I left Italy.
The room definitely doesn't look European. You've moved to Canada.
Canada for sure, judging by the shape of the attic :)
Things I miss. 1. The lifestyle. 2 the food, history but mostly the people.
Non saprei cosa scegliere, Milano è molto europea oramai, forse come metropoli italiana avrei inserito Torino.
Ti auguro il meglio da questa tua nuova avventura: _Comunque vada sarà un successo!_
Grazie mille ❤️❤️
Hey Katie, before you really leave Italy, please show us a video of you and connor eating at your favorite restaurant one last time. I'm sure everyone in Italy are gonna miss you.
Can you move your pup with you to London or Toronto? Also, I loved the brief time I spent In Toronto, but the traffic was the worst I’ve ever experienced. Like even worse than Chicago!
Very smart remark... That could be decisive... But I checked and you only need a pet passport and it should be feasable...
...God, do I have too muche spare time? 🤣😃🤣😃
Great!!!
If I were … me (!) I’d go to Toronto, even if I’ve never been there!
Milan is a beautiful city, but I’ve always been there as a tourist, so you get to see only the pros of it.
Well, now we’re curious: where are you going to move to?
Ciao!
If you want to do another step of your career as chef you gotta move to Milan. Cause we're still in Italy , there are the best high level restaurants, it's a cosmopolitan city so you can meet many people of foreign countries expecially american people, it's the capital of fashion , style and creation and could give you many opportunities. You will not miss America and you could continue to breath italian air. If you want to complete your experience as a chef i really suggest to move to Milan. All the best chef have to make great experience outside the hometown before move to Milan and open own restaurant or activities.
I imagine you will not miss the bureaucracy
Go to Paullo!!
I'm guessing Toronto.
And we all would miss you guys. In the end you've have an italian passport so, you could come back here to keep us company whenever you feel like doing that, in any case.
Rome is full of "gelaterie" and Giolitti is a big one which is quite good but not the best anymore (used to be decades ago)....so , at the end, which one was your final choice?
Hi 👋 Katie Q
I really enjoyed 😊 your stay in Italy 🇮🇹 ,I truly enjoy 😊 watching all your shops 🏬 in witch You and Conner visited,the Ice cream 🍨 Shops the
Pizza 🍕 places ,truly even the markets were amazing 😉 Turin is a very beautiful place in Italy 🇮🇹 I feel you will truly miss it oh and lets not forget the amazing 😉 cheese 🧀 you found wile there .If I were you I would have a hard time deciding,best wishes for your future
I hope all goes well no matter what you choose.
Mary ,
