Momma Karen. You Go Girl! You will be running in no time Justin... thank you so much for the BEAUTIFUL walkabout! Justin and Michael thank you so much for sharing your outings! I can't wait to see it when I get there! What a beautiful little town 🌷. Do they offer Italian language classes in Scalea? Thank you for the very nice scenic walking tour! It was lovely 🌼🌷. Have a beautiful week! From our family to yours
Hi Tracy. We are glad you enjoyed the video. Karen is doing nicely, and getting better every day, which is great. They do offer a language class for residents, which is free. So, we will soon be taking that class, and are very excited. Thank you so much for watching. Baci Baci.
That is lovely. Really lovely. Please go visit the last small hillside town in Calabria before Basilicata called Rocca Imperiale. It has a castle at the top. It's known throughout Italy (and maybe the world?) for its annual poetry contest. The winner each year has their poetry made into ceramic tiles then put onto fronts or sides of buildings and houses. It's really beautiful to see and you can see the sea easily from the town.
Hi Ponkelina. We wil definitely keep that one on our radar. Thanks for telling us. We are happy you enjoyed the town, and the video. Thanks for watching. Baci Baci.
Thank you for showing this beautiful hilltop town. Such stunning views! I love the old charming houses with steps decorated with flower pots. It's such a joy watching your weekly videos with your positive spirits. Your mom is a true champion! Going through all that stuff takes a lot of stamina. Look forward to the next episode!
Hi Tuula. We are so thankful for your compliments, and support for mom. The town was perfectly charming. But, the steps!!! Lol. Thank you so much for watching. Baci Baci.
Lovely well kept town! Hope it was cooler weather for you as you explore this charming hill town! Glad that Mom was up to venture out with you two! I always love hearing the bells ring. The Church was beautiful. The views were spectacular! Please continue bringing us along to all these Italian gems! Baci 😘Baci 😘Baci😘
Hi Louise. We are glad you enjoyed the video. While it is still warm here, iut is not as hot as it was, not too long ago. This town was so nice. We are so happy that Justin was able to go and view it, and I was able to see it through editing. It was beautiful. The church, as you said, was absolutely beautiful. We love to see all of the old churches in Italy. They are truly amazing. We thank you for watching. Baci Baci.
Hi John. We are glad you enjoyed the video. It is always so nice to see these new places, and get to explore. Thank you so much for watching. Baci Baci.
What a pretty and totally charming little village. Loved the architecture and it looks very well loved by its inhabitants.

My Calabrian blood is happy to see such beautiful places 🥰♥️🇮🇹
Hi Marisa. This village, as you said, was so charming. It is always such a delight getting to see these new places, and share them with you. We are so happy here, and learn to love Italy more, each and every day. Thank you so much for watching. Baci Baci.
What a nice day! Looks like the weather has cooled off a bit, too - glad that you all got to have a fun day trip to this beautiful hill town surrounded by mountains! Not to mention the yummy food afterwards…. GLAD to see smiles on all of your faces, and thanks Justin for taking us along on your walk, and for the CLIMB you had to make to get back!!!! Hooray for the glass of water from the kind woman!

Hi all - Karen is looking so much better. I think it must be nearly time for that limoncella party - meds allowing!👍 Justin, you'll be as fit as a flea exploring hill villages!! 💪Love to all. 😍
Hi Jill. We are all so happy to see Karen getting better every day. And, trust us...we have been having a good time with the limoncello. It is AMAZING! That hill town was definitely something, for sure. But it is so pretty. Thank you for watching. Baci Baci.
Ohh muchísimas gracias por mostrar el pueblo de mis abuelos italianos , vineron a la Argentina y aqui nació mi padre.Que belleza y nostalgia deben haber sentido, no los conoci, solo sabia que eran de Potenza hace poco descubrimos que eran de Rivello, es parte de mi identidad por esto y ese recorrido grandioso que han hecho le vuelvo a agradecer infinitamente.❤
It’s so wonderful to see Karen joining you on your channel. It was such a treat to see you two live and in person, in Santa Domenica Talao, and meeting her was a real treat. I regret Michael wasn’t there. As I told you, I encountered my own health issues early June and that is why I disappeared from the scene. Then August came and I avoid Scalea the entire month because it is , in my opinion chaos. Hope to see you all soon. I’d love to take you all to lunch and catch up. Love your energy and informative videos. I’m Especially glad to see Karen recovering. Take care my friends.
Hi Bonnie. We do hope things are good with you. We are glad that you got to meet Karen. We cannot wait for summer to end...it is just too hot. Thanks for watching. Baci Baci.
I was SO EXCITED to see your video! I was hoping all weekend and you made my day! Thank you so much for the excellent tour and Justin………you deserve an award! I am thankful that kind woman gave you water. You hiked a lot of stairs for us! You bring constant joy with your vlogs. Thank you once again. Much love to you all! Karen is looking great!!
Hi Robyn. Thank you so much for your kind words. They are appreciated. Justin definitely did a lot of walking for this video, for sure.We are glad to hear you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching. Baci Baci.

Hi Sabrina. We are glad that you liked the video. We do love getting to go and explore different areas, for you all to see. Karen is getting better every day, we are pleased to say. Thank you so much, for watching. Baci Baci.
Hi! Thank you for the tour, I really appreciate the time you took to show us around. My great grandfather left Rivello when he was 17 and came to he Philippines where he started business and a family. I don’t know much about the Italian side of the family, but just yesterday learned a little more from a reunion. I got curious so I searched for travel videos, but found videos of Ravello, mostly. So happy to have found this video. I hope to one day see this in person. ❤️
The 3 of you are such an inspiration! Loved this hilltop town, the views were amazing... and the Frescos on the monastery walls were so beautiful! Justin and Michael, I admire you so much for taking such good care of your mom... her amazing spirit, and your love is what is helping her heal...and of course living in amazing Italy💚🤍❤, where you all want to be! Thanks for posting! Look forward to more😙😙
Hi there, Stella. Thank you for the amazing compliment. We are all happy here, and happy together. It is so nice being able to go and have fun, each day. Regardless of what we do. We are glad you liked the town. It really was beautiful Thank you so much for watching. Baci Baci.
Oh s..t, that’s too many stairs even for healthy me! 😅😅 the village looks lovely though! 😍😍 Justin, thank you for taking the time and energy to film it everything and for putting it out on YB! 😘😘 Karen is looking healthier and happier with every episode! I and my significant other will be passing through your “neighborhood” the first week of October. Any chance you all would let us take you out for lunch or dinner? No pressure here! Truly! If it would be ok, please let me know the best way to communicate. Baci! Baci!
Hi Barbara. Thank you for your lovely comments. It was a lot of work, but Justin walked it like a trooper.😁 We are so happy to hear that you are soon to be coming to our area. We would be delighted to meet with you. The easiet way to contact us, to se up a meet, is by our instagram, and messaging from there. You can find a link to our instagram on our website: www.prego-italia.com. Thank you so much for watching. Baci Baci.
Thank you Justin for a tour around this beautiful town it was awesome. The views were stunning. Great to see your mum she's looking so much better and I'm sure she is getting stronger by the day. The food in Praia looked delicious 😋 Enjoy. Much love ❤️ to you all and take care
Hi there, Janet. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. It really was a very beautiful place to visit. And yes, mom is getting better and better. And, we are both thrilled. The food was so good at this place. We will definitely be going back in the future. We want to thank you for watching. Baci Baci.
Lovely tour, we always admire it on the way past and mean to go there, Paul looked up the meaning of the restaurant name last time we were there and it means the glutton, very apt for the huge portions they serve. Nice to see Karen getting stronger xx
thank so much for this! I was looking for a small investment (mental moreso than money) property in area and my first stop - and last - was Rivello. I made an offer on the spot. Came to YT looking for more info AFTER I made the offer. haha. Your tour of the town was fab. I also met a woman who offered a bottle of water. :-) do tell about the grocery cart machine. those steps are serious and needed by me truth be told. Not so far from the coast, I'll be heading down often after I figure out how to acquire a car as a non-resident.
Hey there. We are so glad to hear that you enjoy the channel. We think that, in order to get a car to purchase, you do need residency. We know that for us, even with the dual citizenship, it was difficult. We thank you so much for watching, and we hope you enjoy your own Italian adventure. Baci Baci.
Hi Diana. Thank you so much for the comment, and the idea. We will go ahead, and in our new videos, we will show a photo of a map, of where we visit. Thank you so much for watching. Baci Baci.
Just "found" you on the Dual U.S.-Italian Citizenship FB page. I have just found out that I qualify under JS but haven't started anything yet. I got a quote of $12k to have "a professional" take care of it for me. Seems quite steep to me so I think I may try to do it on my own. Going to watch your videos and get inspired. Thanks!
We have come to find that, if you learn some Italian before coming, and you make an active effort to try, people here will try to help you out. We do not have trouble with it. People here are wonderful, and they are very patient with you, if you try. Thanks for the question, and for watching. Baci Baci.
