It's so special being able to see some of his work, you can see the design cues across his works. It gives you an idea of what he was trying to achieve with your villa, a very stylish man.👍❤
Couldn't agree more!
Love your project, it’s fantastic you have your father with you. As an old man it brings back memories of 60 years ago working with my father and young brothers on a complete rebuild. Wishing you and you family all the very best ❤
Thank you for your very kind words!
I hope someday I will look back on this project in the same way you do.
Your father is amazing. Your best worker!
He truly is! He has helped us SO much.
Dogs are such special creatures and Anna is an angel!! 😇 🐾
She really is!
Il tuo livello di energia è stato molto alto questa settimana. Tu e tuo Padre avete realizzato molto! Digli addio per noi!
Thank you, I will!
I have been rather tired lately though, I need some rest 😂
What a wonderful father 🥰
@@debbierees2789 yes he is fantastic!
Wonderful exhibit of Aroldi’s work. Interesting to see his palette and renderings of classical elements with the decorative arts of the time incorporated. Truly a gifted man. You are lucky to be able to live in a villa he designed!
Thank you!
Yes we are truly lucky to have found this gem.
House is coming along , and it looks great. Thanks for sharing your renovation with all of us viewers.
Thanks for watching!
Taking that wall out like a boss! It is so nice to see the opening between the rooms. Anna sure is a kind and gentle soul with her pup rescues.
She truly is!
Yes, I think it will turn out great in the end without the wall, makes it more social.
Anna thank you for saving the dogs!
Yes, it's her passion
What a transformation with the wall between the two rooms being gone. Really opens the space and improves the flow of the house. Looks messy but well worth the effort!!!
Thank you!
I think it will turn out great, makes the place much more social.
that museum tour was wonderful, thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
There should be more Anna,s in he world how lucky are the doggies to have her. Then villa is coming along well.
There really should be!
Yes, thank you.
Great episode!! Amazing to see the progress you’ve made! I like the idea of lighting the arches and opening up the wall. I guess the flooring upstairs is tongue in groove? You will have to cut a line over to the middle of the floor and separate it from the tongue inserted into the groove, then lift up a strip of wood to get to that area and then glue it back?? Only a guess on my part!!?? 😅 but Bravo for all the work you’ve done with your father!! He must enjoy it?? Also, nice way to end the episode with the exhibition!!😮 Blessings to you for what you do for homeless dogs!!❤
Thank you!
Yes, it's tongue and groove unfortunately, we had hopes it weren't.
It's Anna's passion so I guess there will be plenty of more dogs in the future.
Thank you for the wonderful and very productive vlog. Don’t think for one minute we don’t understand what hard work this is for you and your Father and Anna. Many thanks and I cannot wait for what is next. Donna Blake Leawood Kansas USA. ❤
Thank you for your very kind words and thank you for watching!
Good Progress and what a beautiful Village.
Thank you!
Yes it's truly beautiful.
It would be wonderful to have architectural drawings like those hanging on your villa's walls.
Yes! Unfortunately we can't get the original as it's owned by the museum but we will be getting a printed copy of it (we already have an electronic version of it).
Such fantastic progress! I feel as if I've inhaled a pound of dust into my lungs just watching this video. Bravo to you and Dad!
Haha, yes it wasn't pleasant!
Great drone footage.
Thank you!
Whahoo!.... it's moving along and will be fantastic!!!! How lovely that there was an exposition of Aroldi, goodness he was a busy creative man, I'm sure he's smiling somewhere in the universe that you are bringing his home back to life.
Thank you!
Im glad you liked it!
What progress. Less building site and more home shaping. Wonderful. I live your attitude and care for the animals too. You take time and care for all that you do. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words!
Enjoyed from Texas!
Glad you enjoyed it!
From a viewers perspective it seems like your project has shifted into high gear.
Haha thank you!
It goes back and forth, some things goes fast and other take time, but we have tried to get as much done as possible with the help of my father.
The ceilings in your villa are incredibly beautiful, including the upstairs balcony one: just exquisite!
That looked like awful, filthy work but loads of progress in just one video. Well done!
Thank you, im glad you liked it! Not the greatest thing ive done, I cant stand all that dust.
Loved seeing the exhibition. Your ceilings and floors are amazing! They are going to look beautiful.
Thank you so much!
The bells sound so beautiful wonderful progress you are making .Blessings to do it with your dad .
Thank you so much, it really is!
Apologies in advance as this will no doubt be a long comment (I am a motormouth/gobshite 😂).
Hi 👋 I am a new subscriber, I came via the comments section on the Villa Oliva channel 😊
I have just finished binge watching your channel and am just loving everything so far.
I am a disabled mum to 3 children with Autism 2 of whom are severe with other problems. Needless to say I don't get out much (hence being a bit talkative 😂). My relaxation is watching UA-cam and channels like this and Doctor Who (this may be a bit of an obsession well so my family says as everything stops for Doctor Who 😂😂).
So sorry about your windows but oh my how quick work is coming along now the sewerage is sorted.
I adore your father so another one to add to his fan club 😂
Thank you both for rescuing as many animals as you do and my rescue dog Bonnie say's thank you too ❤️
Can't wait for the next installment as the Villa is so beautiful and will be full of grandeur when you have restored it while putting your own stamp on it.
Welcome and thank you for your kind words, im glad you like the channel!
Haha, welcome to the fan club, he has his little gathering of people that seems to like him, I do really enjoy working with him so I am sure you guys will see more of him soon.
Im glad you have a rescue dog, Ps, I used to have a dog named Bonnie when I was a child!
The exterior lighting on the house is going to be stunning.
I hope so!
Oh wow, that exhibition was fascinating, I had no idea about the name of the villa pertaining to the architect!! That is so exciting and you guys are doing an amazing job when you opened up the wall I just imagined this grand villa with the large room. I don’t even know what room that is if it’s the living room or what but I’m sure I’ll find out soon. Thank you for sharing and you guys are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.!!❤️😀
Im glad you liked it!
Yes it will be a living room or a salon to entertain guests in but yes, in time all will be revealed.
Wow! That's a lot of progress. Great job. I am seeing there are different floors between the opened walls. Perhaps a really nice piece of stained wood would make an attractive transitional piece. So happy to see things moving for you!
Thank you!
I think we are going to have to take the floor out in the kitchen as we are extending it anyway but we will reclaim the tiles and use them elsewhere.
That's a great idea. Love that you will repurpose them somewhere else. Those floors are priceless. @@VillaAroldi
good morning from Canada
Hello there!
Thank you for watching!
Looks like really hard work, but the villa is going to be a beauty!
Thank you, we hope so!
I have the same phone as you, it's fantastic.
Yes it's great!
I have been away for a bit. It is wonderful to see your progress and your skilled attention to restoring this grand villa. It is with the proper custodians. Was that a dog bark woven into the theme music montage at the end? Loved the video. Thank you.
Welcome back and thank you for your kind words!
Yes it's a dog bark in the end theme 😂
I hadn't read/heard what you were doing, but I should have figured it out from the previous video. Wonderful idea to combine the spaces! It's going to be spectacular.
Thank you!
Yes, I think it will turn out great!
Love all of your progress! Great work you guys!
Thanks so much!
Wow, loads getting done, it seems to be speeding up. 👍
Yes, it's been a busy few weeks.
most excellent!
Thank you!
Amazing progress! On the electrical needing to go under your wood floor. It's not fast but you can use what is called an oscillating saw to cut the tongue off one side of the board and then be able to pull it up. To reinstall you will need to glue down the board and get glue under both boards on either side.
That is actually a great idea! Thank's for the tip!
Might do that or just use external wiring on that one place in the house.
@@VillaAroldi also when you sand the wood floors down save all the wood dust. Mix it with glue till you get a paste about the thickness of silicone then with a rubber or plastic trowel work it into all the cracks. Do another light sand then put on your finish. It will stain the same color as the wood floors while sealing all the little cracks and gaps between the boards making it much easier to clean and not end up a few years from now with the dark dirty line of the crack filled with dirt and dust.
Thank's for the great advice! I would need an awful lot of saw dust though as there are so many gaps up there, a few millimeters between each board 😂@@scott32570
Dzisiaj pomyślałam sobie, co tam u Was słychać...i już wiem. Serdecznie pozdrawiam.
Haha, yes! We have been busy taking down a wall.
Great work! Is there such a thing as LED bulbs that run off of batteries and a remote for the downstairs ceiling light? I'm with you, it would be a shame to run a wire across the ceiling.
I dont know but we will sort it out somehow, there are those wires that are in textile and actually look decent, or if we somehow can sort it out in another way.
Love your channel.
Thank you!
Like.
Thanks for the visit!
👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching!
Annoying music, but a great job. 🎉❤ The end!?
Thank you! Well, some people like the music, other don't, I guess it will always be that way. The end?
👍
Thank you for watching!
Don't install LED fixtures into walls. Install fixtures that have standard light bulb sockets and use LED bulbs. It's always easier to replace a bulb every 10 years than replace the built-in fixture.
Yes absolutely!
I hear getting permit to "build" / do renovations is a pain in the @ss in Italy. How was your experience? Especially in your situation where the villa is historic?
Yes, it's cumbersome to get permits and it's a lot of rules that makes no sense and so on, but luckily our villa is not covered by "belle arti" so we can do basically what we want (or at least everything you can do in a "normal" home), if however that would change in the future and the villa will be included we can't make drastic changes then, like adding an extension to the kitchen and so on.
But with a good surveyor (geometra) he can do all the permits and plans for you so it does not have to be too much work if you are lucky!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👌
Thank you for watching!
When you are removing any walls …. You have to wear a MASK if not it will be in your lungs you will not feel it right away but later on you will have complications. Preventions is KEY.
You are right, it's just very easy to forget!
😊♥️🇧🇪
