I don't normally comment twice in one vlog, but this time I MUST. You guys may not consider yourselves professionals, but your videography imo ranks right up there with the best of them! You and Carlo have something special. It's called TALENT. And that is what sets your videos apart. THANK YOU! GRAZIE MILLE!
Your videos are the only ones I look forward to each week. I love Italy to begin with and yours let me see what you see and realize that life is what you make it. Grateful!
Cars....ugh! But what would we do without them. Glad you are enjoying each day filled with healthy walks & good local food. Dogs are with you every step of the way. A beautiful life Nikki & Carlo. ❤️🙏🌞
I dislike Ads too but... I will watch the ones I love no matter what. You guys are one of only a very small handful that I will always watch. I believe most people will not pass YOUR videos by. We love you, your family, animal friends, community, etc.
I hate ads, but the same as you, I consider that watching and ad during a video created by someone I like, I watch it. I just think of this as a way of supporting the creator. 😊
In my final year in high school we read a description of Positano in one of our prescribed literature texts. We all fell in love with a place we had never seen. 45 years later, you are making it possible for me to share its magic with you.
Someone mentioned TALENT, I would add LOVE for what you are doing. And the love and gratitude we feel for what we receive every week from you and Carlo! Fascinating what they are doing in that new shop. And have an excellent week. Your video as usual wonderful. THANKS! 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Nicki ive watched all your videos on youtube most of them several times . On a wet or cold afternoon there is nothing more comforting for me than a cup of tea and a kit-kat and watching your older journeys . Living alone it really does make a difference to be able to watch and feel that i am there . Its up to you what you put in your videos . Dont ever ask joe bloggs as there will always be contention. Do what you want to do. If more of the complainers took time to watch all the work you and your family have put into this platform then they would be championing you to do what is best or what you feel is good for you. Sorry its so long but i felt it had to be said :) Sending much love to all.
your videos are totally enchanting. they truly touch my heart. having much Italian heritage i begin to feel i may be in the wrong place. nothing at all wrong with a sponsor, you deserve to be adequately compensated for your beautiful presentations.
Ciao Nicki! I loved how you settled in on the word "forceful" (vs violent) vis-a-vis the comments on sponsored ads. Obviously, you should do what feels right for you first and foremost. I think people sometimes forget that they are getting all of this great content for FREE, and perhaps don't even really understand how much work goes into creating, editing, and posting, etc. Personally, I don't mind a sponsored ad when the content is really good (like yours). It's easy enough to skip it if it's not something one is interested in. Thank you for sharing your Italian life with us every week!
The city of Positano, for that matter, and all of the areas of the Amalfi Coast should be sponsoring your videos! I can't even imagine the amount of money you and Carlo have generated for so many businesses. You have introduced so many local businesses to us that many might never know of. Your gift of storytelling, and sharing the real Positano, coupled with Carlo's drone talent and not to forget Elisabeth, the girls, Skye Tomaso and never to leave out Luca even Pepe- my goodness, you are all professionals and have welcomed each of us into your magical world. I can't I leave out your amazing Dad and him sharing his stories, jams, and the world of the UK. I would gladly support any sponsorships that you acquired. Let me just add- anyone not on Nicki's Patreon is missing out on so much! It's worth 10 times the small amount I pay every month. Thanks, Nicki for the added content there, I love it!
I understand why people are so anti ads but social media is dependant on ads to exist unfortunately. Without ads us UA-camrs wouldn't be able to share what we do either. There is the option to skip ads and you can pay a monthly fee to watch without ads. UA-camrs are asked to sponsor companies etc especially when by their viewing numbers are high. It's normal, it's how companies survive. 🤷 And, UA-camrs work hard putting videos together so to receive a little income from the ads helps to make it all worth while. You're doing a great job Nicki! 👍👏💯
Having sponsors is a personal decision. Depends on what your goals are for this channel. You are both very talented in your content. The vistas are incrediable. Always lift my spirits.
I so look forward to your videos every Sunday, Nicki. It’s like being given a beautiful little gift and feeling that excitement of what could be in store! I am never disappointed. Thank you and love to all! 💕
Nicki, you are an artist in every way possible! Makeup, Food, Video, Family...Garden...and Carlo is a joy that is never-ending! His smile and endless abilities (and wisdom) help to take your video productions to a very unique and special place. (And you started out just parking your videos here? Little did you know you were on your way to producing unbeatable art!) 😘❤👍
Love your “walk and talks”. If you want to do sponsored posts, you should. Yes, they can be annoying but lots of things in life are. Thanks for another great video! 🇺🇸💜
Nicki it’s your channel and you do what you want. Whatever way you go you will have pushback it’s just the nature of social media and having many people on your channel. So do what you want and be happy. A few people will drop off!
I don’t love the ‘sponsored’ messages but do what you need to do to keep on bringing great videos. This is ‘work’ for you so do what you must to be adequately rewarded.
Has Carlo ever thought of making a tourist guide to the local cemetery where he worked? Maybe create a little booklet self-guided tour of the famous people buried there, the artistic styles of the markers, local funeral traditions, good views, interesting stories, ghost stories or oddities, and favorite trees/plants. These could be sold at the entrance to help support the cemetery or available for download while visitors walk around. If they've ever finished the elevator, they probably will be getting more visitors.
I have had 2 car break downs both of which happened in amazing places and one, like yours, was the timing belt, my car quit literally in front of my house after a long, long journey on highways! Angels watching over us, I have no doubt! Beautiful video, just such lovely scenery and the behind the scenes visit ti the shop amazing! How precious are these traditions!
Oh and in September I was on vacation on the Amalfi coast, and while we were stuck in bus traffic, Nicki was coming on her scooter from the opposite direction and had to slow down because of the jam, enough for me to see her from the bus window. Seeing Nicki it was the highlight of the day because the vacation was kind of a failure due to the massive rains that fell during that period. 😊
Love your ad free videos. It is such a relief to be free of the constant barrage of sales pitches - of course I understand if you decide to. Best wishes to you and your family. Glad the car didn't break down on your trip too!
We will all continue to watch you, sponsored ads or not. We love this channel. You deserve to make a living. You work hard at your channel and bring us wonderful content. Thank you from the US. I feel like I’ve traveled with you, been a guest in your home and met your wonderful friends. I love Sundays and the new episodes. Paid ads will help you bring us more content and I’m all for it. Go for it!
Go with your heart! If you don't feel comfortable, and you don't need the financial benefit, then don't be pressured. We love your videos and will watch them whatever you choose! Thank-you for my Sunday treat.
As always, I LOVE when you show local people doing their incredible work. Those lanterns were absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad you guys didn't have your car break down on your trip, and I hope you get it back quickly!
Are my eyes deceiving me this morning? Snow in Positano???!!!!! Enjoy while it lasts! Thanks for another beautiful (but definitely unusual!) video! Cheers from snowy, freezing cold Atlantic Canada!
One of my goals in life is to eventually live in an area/community where I can walk outside in the winter. It doesn’t have to be tropical, just not -20 degrees Celsius 😂! Love your walks! The wood lamps are so pretty and intricately carved ❤! Hope you get the 🚙 repaired soon and it doesn’t cost too much. Thank you for this week’s video!
I loved seeing how the artisans make the lanterns and the frames. Sometimes people don't realize the work that goes into producing articles like these. Positano is filled with very talented people, specie voi due.
Nicki if you want to do ads or not it's up to you. No one else. If they leave they leave. The rest of us appreciate what you and Carlo are doing. Do it your way.
I would watch your videos wherever, however they where posted sponsored or not. I am so grateful Sunday mornings to be able to watch a new one. Thank you and Carlo for all your hard work. I just wish they were longer and appeared more than once a week.
I’m so happy to have found your channel. I fell in love with Positano when I was there and love seeing it through the eyes of people that live there! Your videos are amazing and I love seeing your happy doggies travel everywhere with you.
Absolute stunning scenery footage of the mountains! So lucky you didn't break down on your long journey. Hopefully it won't be too expensive to repair 🤞Love watching artisans work at their craft! Thank you both! ❤🍁
Nicki you should do whatever you want regarding sponsors. There is so much work that goes into your beautiful vlogs, and it is unreasonable for subscribers to be unhappy with ads or sponsors, if they aren’t going to be Patreons. I cannot afford to go that route, but I watch every ad and would certainly watch sponsored ones too. ❤
Holy moly! You have certainly been having some weather! How exciting. I totally respect your feelings on sponsors or ads. If it works for you great and if not, then don't! You make it so inviting with your wonderful videos. I have started planning our travels and I cannot wait to see Positano. The food, the atmosphere and the scenery along with your friends have made a big impression on me. Looking forward to the experience and I hope we run into you. Thank you as always for sharing your life. Love from NY!
The carpentry is absolutely gorgeous! I enjoyed Salvatore talking about his background and his father talking about the frames being in the style of the churches!
I would watch your videos no matter what companies sponsor you. I can tell that you have production skills due to both your parents' filmmaking influence.
What a fun video! Loved seeing Elizabeth & her family with you and I always love seeing Carlo's parents in their home! The wood art is beautiful and it was very interesting to see how it is made! Amazing how long their family has been in the carpentry business! Absolutely beautiful video! So very sorry about your car. As far as sponsors, you do what makes you two happy. If you sponsor a product, I will know it is good quality. You and Carlo are doing a great job and I appreciate both of you! Kathy in south Alabama ❤️
Wow such beautiful drone shots. I’m chilled watching you all up there on the mountain sides. Last night coming home from Seattle I experienced a brief hit of that snow/rain/ice just like you’ve shown. Totally out of the blue on the freeway and then there was none. Love as always Nicki and Carlo and puppy dogs. ❤️
The snow views were wonderful. Our old house was in an area of Spain where snow never appeared. One morning we were awoken at six in the morning to a lot of noise outside. Snow had fallen and everyone was out in it. Adults, kids, dogs you name it they were there. They had never seen snow up close in their entire lives. Us old hands just looked on. Personally I hate the stuff if you were trying to get to work. But real fun for them.
Stunning scenery, thank you for allowing us along with your family . I will be visiting Italy this September and already feel so Enlightened by your videos . Love from 🇨🇦
LOL!!! ...@ 8:20 being "rudely interrupted." that should be "poo interrupted." Well, I just want to say, when I stumbled on your channel at the beginning of the lockdown in 2020 and cooped up at home, your vlogging allowed me to teleport from my living room in Chicago to your lovely home in Positano, Italy. Thank you! very much for all that you do, because as I have gathered, it is not easy to record, edit for 2 to 3hrs and then upload for other's viewing pleasure. So once again THANK YOU! Nicki.
You know Nicki you are one of the few vlogs that I click on like before I know what it’s about .......also one of the reasons I like you is because you aren’t sponsored..........I have just inscribed to two other sites as all they can take about it their faces, their clothes and what they have had done.....who cares...........we watch and love you , Carlo, the family ,all the friends and the day to day of your lives in Positano and your travels to see Dad and friends and all the critters that come and go from your home........please don’t change.....❤❤ Donna In Toronto, where it has been a cold snowy day, a great day to color my hair which I did.......have a great week
I really enjoyed this "little bit of everything Video", as you say you show us " what life is really like in Positano". Thank you and Carlo for brightening our lives. Cheers Muffy from Oz
I am truly grateful and bless to have found you a few years back .. sending love much blessings .. to you and yours.. Carlos parents are adorable. 🙏🏻✨💓..
As always, a beautiful and enjoyable episode! I really loved the interview with the carpenters! ❤️ I hope you have your car back soon, for the freedom and security it affords you and hopefully it doesn't end up too expensive 🤞
it is very easy to skip forward through an ad, I so enjoy seeing the area where you live, I will never get to go myself, and this s so personal, and up close..really like being there with you, so I am grateful for your videos ....frankly the ads just are not a big deal, you should get paid for all the work that goes into making them.
I love how you share so many snippets of your every day lives. That, to me, is the most fascinating aspect of your videos. And, I love that you showcase local artisans and shops. Thank you again for allowing us to share in a few moments of your lives.
Works of ART, the lamps are beautiful... Thank you for taking us to Father and Son factory.. Fascinating 💙 Very intricate work on the machine. Love the Moorish designs too 💙
Envious of your life there, I'm sure you have bad days but I wouldn't mind the bad days. Thank you Nikki and Carlo for always including us in your outings. Lots of love from Long Island NY.
We had 2 of three brake lines fail in hilly Vermont USA & met the nicest people who helped us a) find a mechanic b) drive us to their friend who owned a hotel c) picked us up in the morning to get us back to our original lodgings d) our innkeeper at these lodgings loaned us his van for the day so we could continue our sightseeing Wow! Good luck with the car & thanks again for yet another interesting video with beautiful scenery. 😍🥰
The waterfall was beautiful. Most people wouldn't swim in winter. No thank you. Sorry to hear your car broke down on Carlo. I hate having to deal with repairs. They always are so darned expensive. If you keep your cars up well, though, they will last a pretty long time. Thank you Carlo for showing us the work from that artisan. His creations are great. Even better that they are hereditary. So many beautiful talents get lost over the years. Thanks to you both. I don't mind ads on the channels...good time to go get a drink. They help people to make a living. The watcher could always fast forward thru the ads. Ignorant of people to refuse to watch or follow if you have ads. People need to make a living. They could always become a patreon if they hate the ads so much, can they not? Hugs to you both and thank you for all your hard work. So nice that you all are wonderful to your parents....yours and Carlo's.
Yes! Thank God you didn't break down on the way home! Miracles happen every day! Stay close to each other and take care! Have fun resting and staying home this week. Its ok. No pressure...😘
Sorry about your car problem, but like you said at least it was close to home. It gives new meaning to the expression, "it's all in the timing!"😂 Your walk along the ledge makes me nervous. I picture myself catching my foot on the uneven walkway and winding up flying over the edge! (One way of avoiding the stairs) Carlo's friend and his father have such beautiful things in their shop. I wish them success. It has been delightful sitting here with a nice cup of tea and a slice of banana bread spending time with you Carlo and the doggies. Thank you. 🙂💙
I really loved seeing the carpenters at work. No computer designs or machines. The lanterns are beautiful and I would love to have a few around my home.
Thank you for ❤all your lovely videos and showing us what a wonderful life you have in Positano with your husband Carlo and Sky. And of course the beautiful doggies. 🙏🙏🥹🥹🙌❤️❤️ Hope all goes well with car repairs and not too expensive.
i spoke italian until i was about 4, then moved out of my italian grandmother's home and forgot most of it, but did hear it spoken when she visited us in our home until i was 20.....but now decades later, watching your videos, i do pick up words here and there and understand them, it's amazing how much i can recall. I'm in the USA, born here but my grandparents and one aunt were born near Naples, Rome and Pescara.
Your recent comments about leaving your dad resonated with me. I'm in the same position. All we can do is love the ones we're with, when we can, and find beauty in the exceptional. You are really good at that!
While watching today, I must say that the drone shot of all of you walking along the mountain cliff reminded me of the scene from "The Sound of Music" where they are trying to escape from Austria. It was quite lovely. Have a great week. Looking forward to next Sunday. Cheers!
Dear Nicki and Carlos, you are doing a great job by making these video's and I can see you are putting a lot of effort and details in it 💖I applaude you how you edit these video's and how you put these drone images in between your video and photos! love the drone images from Carlos very much 🌟and his interview with the architect and carpentry! You are all such modest and kind people to make these local craftsmen more famus and they deserve all the love and attention 💖And I want to make you a huge compliment as you both are working together in this video and I love this as to me Nicki how you as an English woman see the Italian view/part of this and Carlos as an Italian contributes with his part and the stunning drone images and I think that makes it so unique! 💞You are both such down to earth and modest and very kind people and I love that 💞I view life more from a spiritual point of view and everything happens for a reason. The fact that you were discussing the fact to put some advertisement in your video as until now you did not earn from it I will tell you my part of it. I am on the same page as you Nicki, I usually do not like advertisements in the video's, but you do not make an income from it, but are working very hard for making these bautiful video's. On top of that the distribution belt of your car broke down and that is a very expensive reparation! Maybe this happened to make the decision to put an advertisement in your video's? I have no clue how much money tha twill make for you, but we as viewers can skip it if we are annoyed by it, can we not? (Ps. I know for the very close future things on earth are going to change massively and money will not be a problem for us anymore. We will not have to pay income taxes anymore and we get a kind of stipend per month which will cover the basic things for life. and a lot of other changes will come so that we will no longer be in survival modus 🙏) I totally understand if you decide to put advertising in the video's. Why not consult your dear father as he is such a wise ( camera))man? You have inherited a lot of his skills by puting together these beautiful video"s Nicki. I am only here for a few months and I love how you share about your life in Positano and I am always looking forward to your video's. Much love to you and your family 🌷 and I hope your car willbe fixed soon and that it will not be a high bill 🙏
Love the walk down the stairs. Nicki, maybe in a near future vlog you can talk about how Carl and yourself overcame the language barrier when you first met and couldn’t speak each other’s languages.
I can’t tell you how much we enjoy your vlog. We’ve been to Positano and loved it. We stayed in Nocelle and toured around the area by bus. Every Sunday night after dinner we put on your weekly vlog and relax and sit back and watch the two of you going about your business. Strangely enough it feels like visiting family. Ive always enjoyed the music that you have used like the Australian gal that sings jazz. I have a lady that you might enjoy that is similar to her. She has that easy kind of jazzy feel as well. Her name is Chantal Chamberland. Have a look! You might enjoy her! Keep up the wonderful job you tow do and here’s to looking forward to many more
Nicki you produce a 30 minute television show every week with amazing content and footage. It’s such high quality and unique and you do that alone (with Carlos). If you monetize that it’s totally understandable.
Another beautiful video and dialog. The woodworker with all that history was awesome. I only wish I could explain the peace I experience when watching.
Hello Carlo and Nikki, lovely to see you home but sorry you came back to such lousy weather. How lovely of you all to make a roster to visit Carlo’s parents I am sure they appreciate it and Carlo is so fortunate to still have both parents around. I would never see those Waterfalls if not for you as I do not do heights and walking on that track would be a no no for me lol! I am amazed that the fur babies run up and down the steps, cliff walks and never seem to tire although their little legs are working over time and assume they have long naps, as I would, once they got home. The little shop with the home made lamps was gorgeous and can only imagine how striking they would be lit up at home in an evening. As for your car well thankfully it got you both home safely before falling a part and to think you could have got stuck some where for goodness knows how long is scary and worrying. At least you know the mechanic and you can trust his work no matter how long it takes. As for you doing videos whether sponsored or not is entirely up to you either way I would still be here. Thank you for another lovely video it seemed so much content was squeezed in I loved it❤️❤️
Hi Nicki & Carlo! Thank you for taking us along on your nature walks. It’s delightful to witness the incredible beauty that is Positano, even if through the eyes of another. Carlo, I cringed when you said the timing belt on your car broke. That’s an expensive repair in the U.S. For the sake of your wallet, I hope your mechanic’s repair skills are great, and his charges reasonable.
You were molto fortunato that your car did not break down on the trip back and forth from England, especially since it is a rather complicated problem and repair. Thank you for remembering the video you shot back in October in the new shop and showing us all the work that goes into the lanterns, for example. Waterfalls are always pleasant to see and hear. Buona Domenica.
I absolutely love the videos yall put out. I think the world needs and craves more than what is on TV. I rarely watch regular TV anymore. I love it when you showcase local artisans and merchants. The videography is stunning. Just lovely, I so look forward to new videos.
I learned of your channel recently from Julie Montagues channel, if you are curious how people find you. What a beautiful part of the world you live in. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life.
Sometimes I just forget to comment! But I love your videos. They always put me in such a calm place, especially after having a stressful and intense day -when I see that you have posted a new video, , it’s wonderful to look forward to. Thank you, Nikki and Carlo
Love your videos. Will watch with or without ads. If the sponsorship helps you continue to make your content then by all means. You deserve to take advantage of the opportunities presented to you. If you do choose to do sponsorships only agree to companies/products that you truly stand behind! Keep up the beautiful work 🥰
Wow, what a weather in Positano. I thought only in Texas was a crazy weather. I think you should do whatever you like Nicki. You and Carlo are doing great for all of us showing what we like, Positano. Thanks 😊
Cars!!! A nightmare when they go wrong...we can't live without them! An Audi too...😬££££££'s. As you say, thank goodness you were home!!! Missed you both...it seems so long since summer.....I need to look into Patron and see what it involves! Happy to see you looking relaxed again after all your trip anxieties....Sandi x
So funny you mentioned, no commercials, and midway through that sentence, the video broke for an add. I know this wasn’t your planning but the timing was so funny. Continue with the great videos, helping my Italian when I listen to Carlo
The Adventure continues! Sorry about ur car! Timing belt is definitely a major part to repair. 🤯 Your video are beautiful escape for the Soul. They take viewers to most beautiful places! You both are always smiling thru it All! Grazie!❤
Another wonderful video! I had a timing belt break on my Volkswagen bug while I was driving at 60 miles an hour on the freeway and the car jerked out of my hands and almost crashed. That was 50 years ago. Love all your videos and so happy you are thriving and loving life and sharing it with us!
Lovely video. It is a good thing the car broke down in winter rather than summer as well, imagine the queues of traffic!!!. Hope it isn't too expensive. The carpenters shop was a lovely bonus. I thought for a moment the lanterns were posh bird feeders. Take care.
Lol so cute the car breaks down in Positano,here in San Francisco I got flooded because of very heavy rain, having to stay here and there for at least a month. All very frustrating but we are all blessed, in times like this there is always a silver lining, sometimes we don’t see it right away. So we try to stay calm and carry on ❤️ Until next week Ciao ❤️
I don't normally comment twice in one vlog, but this time I MUST. You guys may not consider yourselves professionals, but your videography imo ranks right up there with the best of them! You and Carlo have something special. It's called TALENT. And that is what sets your videos apart. THANK YOU! GRAZIE MILLE!
Totally agree!
That's right your videos are just beyond, you both have incredible talent 🥂cheers
You are so right! I love the video's and the quality!
Agreed . . . the video of the kids and dogs on the mountains with a bit of snow were stunningly beautiful
@@loismanzi2442 The videography is stunning!
Your videos are the only ones I look forward to each week. I love Italy to begin with and yours let me see what you see and realize that life is what you make it. Grateful!
Cars....ugh! But what would we do without them. Glad you are enjoying each day filled with healthy walks & good local food. Dogs are with you every step of the way. A beautiful life Nikki & Carlo. ❤️🙏🌞

I have truly fallen in love with Positano and seeing this beautiful shop gives me a tremendous appreciation of it even more.
Carlo reminds me of my dad. He is very thoughtful and kind. So blessed the car broke down locally.
Nicki ive watched all your videos on youtube most of them several times . On a wet or cold afternoon there is nothing more comforting for me than a cup of tea and a kit-kat and watching your older journeys . Living alone it really does make a difference to be able to watch and feel that i am there . Its up to you what you put in your videos . Dont ever ask joe bloggs as there will always be contention.

Sorry its so long but i felt it had to be said :) Sending much love to all.
CARLO MUST HAVE LOVED THAT WORKSHOP.
your videos are totally enchanting. they truly touch my heart. having much Italian heritage i begin to feel i may be in the wrong place. nothing at all wrong with a sponsor, you deserve to be adequately compensated for your beautiful presentations.
You and Carlo do whatever feels right for you at the time. Those of us who appreciate your hard work will not care and those that do don’t matter! ❤
Ciao Nicki! I loved how you settled in on the word "forceful" (vs violent) vis-a-vis the comments on sponsored ads. Obviously, you should do what feels right for you first and foremost. I think people sometimes forget that they are getting all of this great content for FREE, and perhaps don't even really understand how much work goes into creating, editing, and posting, etc. Personally, I don't mind a sponsored ad when the content is really good (like yours).

A new wonderful video? That is amazing. I wish you and all viewers a nice day.
Carlo you are a good man God’s Blessings to you and your family also a great father to Skye.
Thanks, Nicki for continuing to put out these beautiful videos.❤
The city of Positano, for that matter, and all of the areas of the Amalfi Coast should be sponsoring your videos! I can't even imagine the amount of money you and Carlo have generated for so many businesses. You have introduced so many local businesses to us that many might never know of. Your gift of storytelling, and sharing the real Positano, coupled with Carlo's drone talent and not to forget Elisabeth, the girls, Skye Tomaso and never to leave out Luca even Pepe- my goodness, you are all professionals and have welcomed each of us into your magical world. I can't I leave out your amazing Dad and him sharing his stories, jams, and the world of the UK. I would gladly support any sponsorships that you acquired. Let me just add- anyone not on Nicki's Patreon is missing out on so much! It's worth 10 times the small amount I pay every month. Thanks, Nicki for the added content there, I love it!
I understand why people are so anti ads but social media is dependant on ads to exist unfortunately. Without ads us UA-camrs wouldn't be able to share what we do either.

As an artist, I do appreciate showcasing the handmade wares from local Positano artisans. Those lamps are exquisite.
I am so happy to see Nicki’s new video on! The videos always brighten my day, they are like an oasis in the dessert.
I don’t love the ‘sponsored’ messages but do what you need to do to keep on bringing great videos. This is ‘work’ for you so do what you must to be adequately rewarded.
Has Carlo ever thought of making a tourist guide to the local cemetery where he worked? Maybe create a little booklet self-guided tour of the famous people buried there, the artistic styles of the markers, local funeral traditions, good views, interesting stories, ghost stories or oddities, and favorite trees/plants. These could be sold at the entrance to help support the cemetery or available for download while visitors walk around. If they've ever finished the elevator, they probably will be getting more visitors.
Bad idea. RIP beloved family members.😊
I have had 2 car break downs both of which happened in amazing places and one, like yours, was the timing belt, my car quit literally in front of my house after a long, long journey on highways! Angels watching over us, I have no doubt! Beautiful video, just such lovely scenery and the behind the scenes visit ti the shop amazing! How precious are these traditions!
indeed angels watching over us and instead of the car breaking down in France or England it broke down in their own area! 🙏

Here I’m to enjoy 24 minutes of Nicki Positano 😍
If she posted hour long videos, I'd watch them gladly. 🇮🇹🌍🌏🌎❤️
Oh and in September I was on vacation on the Amalfi coast, and while we were stuck in bus traffic, Nicki was coming on her scooter from the opposite direction and had to slow down because of the jam, enough for me to see her from the bus window. Seeing Nicki it was the highlight of the day because the vacation was kind of a failure due to the massive rains that fell during that period. 😊
Love your ad free videos. It is such a relief to be free of the constant barrage of sales pitches - of course I understand if you decide to. Best wishes to you and your family. Glad the car didn't break down on your trip too!
We will all continue to watch you, sponsored ads or not. We love this channel. You deserve to make a living. You work hard at your channel and bring us wonderful content. Thank you from the US. I feel like I’ve traveled with you, been a guest in your home and met your wonderful friends. I love Sundays and the new episodes. Paid ads will help you bring us more content and I’m all for it. Go for it!
Go with your heart! If you don't feel comfortable, and you don't need the financial benefit, then don't be pressured. We love your videos and will watch them whatever you choose! Thank-you for my Sunday treat.
This vlog is my Sunday’s routine enjoyment!
I love how Holly even though she’s ahead of you looks back to make sure that you are there
As always, I LOVE when you show local people doing their incredible work. Those lanterns were absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad you guys didn't have your car break down on your trip, and I hope you get it back quickly!
Are my eyes deceiving me this morning? Snow in Positano???!!!!! Enjoy while it lasts! Thanks for another beautiful (but definitely unusual!) video! Cheers from snowy, freezing cold Atlantic Canada!
One of my goals in life is to eventually live in an area/community where I can walk outside in the winter. It doesn’t have to be tropical, just not -20 degrees Celsius 😂! Love your walks! The wood lamps are so pretty and intricately carved ❤! Hope you get the 🚙 repaired soon and it doesn’t cost too much. Thank you for this week’s video!
I loved seeing how the artisans make the lanterns and the frames. Sometimes people don't realize the work that goes into producing articles like these. Positano is filled with very talented people, specie voi due.
Nicki if you want to do ads or not it's up to you. No one else. If they leave they leave. The rest of us appreciate what you and Carlo are doing. Do it your way.
I would watch your videos wherever, however they where posted sponsored or not. I am so grateful Sunday mornings to be able to watch a new one. Thank you and Carlo for all your hard work. I just wish they were longer and appeared more than once a week.
Always such a pleasure learning about your daily lives! I appreciate you and Carlo…. along with the other Italian artists in this video. 🥰🤗🍋
Totally enjoy your videos!
Without ads !😂
I hate when they interrupt !
Anyways it's your call!
Take care Nicki & family!💯
I’m so happy to have found your channel. I fell in love with Positano when I was there and love seeing it through the eyes of people that live there! Your videos are amazing and I love seeing your happy doggies travel everywhere with you.
Absolute stunning scenery footage of the mountains! So lucky you didn't break down on your long journey. Hopefully it won't be too expensive to repair 🤞Love watching artisans work at their craft! Thank you both! ❤🍁
Nicki you should do whatever you want regarding sponsors. There is so much work that goes into your beautiful vlogs, and it is unreasonable for subscribers to be unhappy with ads or sponsors, if they aren’t going to be Patreons. I cannot afford to go that route, but I watch every ad and would certainly watch sponsored ones too. ❤
Holy moly! You have certainly been having some weather! How exciting. I totally respect your feelings on sponsors or ads. If it works for you great and if not, then don't! You make it so inviting with your wonderful videos. I have started planning our travels and I cannot wait to see Positano. The food, the atmosphere and the scenery along with your friends have made a big impression on me. Looking forward to the experience and I hope we run into you. Thank you as always for sharing your life. Love from NY!
The carpentry is absolutely gorgeous! I enjoyed Salvatore talking about his background and his father talking about the frames being in the style of the churches!
I would watch your videos no matter what companies sponsor you. I can tell that you have production skills due to both your parents' filmmaking influence.
What a fun video! Loved seeing Elizabeth & her family with you and I always love seeing Carlo's parents in their home! The wood art is beautiful and it was very interesting to see how it is made! Amazing how long their family has been in the carpentry business! Absolutely beautiful video! So very sorry about your car. As far as sponsors, you do what makes you two happy. If you sponsor a product, I will know it is good quality. You and Carlo are doing a great job and I appreciate both of you! Kathy in south Alabama ❤️
Grazi for another wonderful video ‼ Hope the car repairs aren't too expensive! Love to you and the furbabies ❣🐕🐾🐾🐕🐾🐾🐈🐾🐾
Wow such beautiful drone shots. I’m chilled watching you all up there on the mountain sides. Last night coming home from Seattle I experienced a brief hit of that snow/rain/ice just like you’ve shown. Totally out of the blue on the freeway and then there was none. Love as always Nicki and Carlo and puppy dogs. ❤️
The snow views were wonderful. Our old house was in an area of Spain where snow never appeared. One morning we were awoken at six in the morning to a lot of noise outside. Snow had fallen and everyone was out in it. Adults, kids, dogs you name it they were there. They had never seen snow up close in their entire lives. Us old hands just looked on. Personally I hate the stuff if you were trying to get to work. But real fun for them.
Climate change!
It is snowing because it is getting warmer...
Stunning scenery, thank you for allowing us along with your family . I will be visiting Italy this September and already feel so
Enlightened by your videos . Love from 🇨🇦
Enjoyed this so very much. The music and drone footage was amazing as always. Loved the waterfall walk!
Lovely seeing Elizabeth and the girls enjoying the snow. Beautiful footage of the snow capped mountains 😊❤️💫🎵🎺🐕❄️🐈🪵👏
LOL!!! ...@ 8:20 being "rudely interrupted." that should be "poo interrupted." Well, I just want to say, when I stumbled on your channel at the beginning of the lockdown in 2020 and cooped up at home, your vlogging allowed me to teleport from my living room in Chicago to your lovely home in Positano, Italy. Thank you! very much for all that you do, because as I have gathered, it is not easy to record, edit for 2 to 3hrs and then upload for other's viewing pleasure. So once again THANK YOU! Nicki.
Carlo has such a sweet demeanor that you are really fortunate to have found such a good natured man as your husband
In every video you manage to show us something new and beautiful! Those light boxes at the shop are so pretty!
You know Nicki you are one of the few vlogs that I click on like before I know what it’s about .......also one of the reasons I like you is because you aren’t sponsored..........I have just inscribed to two other sites as all they can take about it their faces, their clothes and what they have had done.....who cares...........we watch and love you , Carlo, the family ,all the friends and the day to day of your lives in Positano and your travels to see Dad and friends and all the critters that come and go from your home........please don’t change.....❤❤ Donna In Toronto, where it has been a cold snowy day, a great day to color my hair which I did.......have a great week
I really enjoyed this "little bit of everything Video", as you say you show us " what life is really like in Positano". Thank you and Carlo for brightening our lives. Cheers Muffy from Oz
I am truly grateful and bless to have found you a few years back .. sending love much blessings .. to you and yours.. Carlos parents are adorable. 🙏🏻✨💓..
As always, a beautiful and enjoyable episode! I really loved the interview with the carpenters! ❤️
I hope you have your car back soon, for the freedom and security it affords you and hopefully it doesn't end up too expensive 🤞
it is very easy to skip forward through an ad, I so enjoy seeing the area where you live, I will never get to go myself, and this s so personal, and up close..really like being there with you, so I am grateful for your videos ....frankly the ads just are not a big deal, you should get paid for all the work that goes into making them.
I love how you share so many snippets of your every day lives. That, to me, is the most fascinating aspect of your videos. And, I love that you showcase local artisans and shops. Thank you again for allowing us to share in a few moments of your lives.
Works of ART, the lamps are beautiful... Thank you for taking us to Father and Son factory.. Fascinating 💙 Very intricate work on the machine. Love the Moorish designs too 💙
Envious of your life there, I'm sure you have bad days but I wouldn't mind the bad days. Thank you Nikki and Carlo for always including us in your outings. Lots of love from Long Island NY.
We had 2 of three brake lines fail in hilly Vermont USA & met the nicest people who helped us a) find a mechanic b) drive us to their friend who owned a hotel c) picked us up in the morning to get us back to our original lodgings d) our innkeeper at these lodgings loaned us his van for the day so we could continue our sightseeing Wow! Good luck with the car & thanks again for yet another interesting video with beautiful scenery. 😍🥰
The waterfall was beautiful. Most people wouldn't swim in winter. No thank you.
Sorry to hear your car broke down on Carlo. I hate having to deal with repairs. They always are so darned expensive. If you keep your cars up well, though, they will last a pretty long time.
Thank you Carlo for showing us the work from that artisan. His creations are great. Even better that they are hereditary. So many beautiful talents get lost over the years. Thanks to you both. I don't mind ads on the channels...good time to go get a drink. They help people to make a living. The watcher could always fast forward thru the ads. Ignorant of people to refuse to watch or follow if you have ads. People need to make a living. They could always become a patreon if they hate the ads so much, can they not? Hugs to you both and thank you for all your hard work. So nice that you all are wonderful to your parents....yours and Carlo's.
Yes! Thank God you didn't break down on the way home! Miracles happen every day! Stay close to each other and take care! Have fun resting and staying home this week. Its ok. No pressure...😘
Sorry about your car problem, but like you said at least it was close to home. It gives new meaning to the expression, "it's all in the timing!"😂 Your walk along the ledge makes me nervous. I picture myself catching my foot on the uneven walkway and winding up flying over the edge! (One way of avoiding the stairs) Carlo's friend and his father have such beautiful things in their shop. I wish them success. It has been delightful sitting here with a nice cup of tea and a slice of banana bread spending time with you Carlo and the doggies. Thank you. 🙂💙
I really loved seeing the carpenters at work. No computer designs or machines. The lanterns are beautiful and I would love to have a few around my home.
Thank you for ❤all your lovely videos and showing us what a wonderful life you have in Positano with your husband Carlo and Sky. And of course the beautiful doggies. 🙏🙏🥹🥹🙌❤️❤️ Hope all goes well with car repairs and not too expensive.
i spoke italian until i was about 4, then moved out of my italian grandmother's home and forgot most of it, but did hear it spoken when she visited us in our home until i was 20.....but now decades later, watching your videos, i do pick up words here and there and understand them, it's amazing how much i can recall. I'm in the USA, born here but my grandparents and one aunt were born near Naples, Rome and Pescara.
These videos of the many aspects of daily life are so interesting. As a bonus, I’m learning a little Italian from Carlo with Nicki’s translation.
Your recent comments about leaving your dad resonated with me. I'm in the same position. All we can do is love the ones we're with, when we can, and find beauty in the exceptional. You are really good at that!
While watching today, I must say that the drone shot of all of you walking along the mountain cliff reminded me
of the scene from "The Sound of Music" where they are trying to escape from Austria. It was quite lovely. Have a great week. Looking forward to next Sunday. Cheers!
How many times can you say perfect. It is just the absolute very best🥰🥰🥰
Dear Nicki and Carlos, you are doing a great job by making these video's and I can see you are putting a lot of effort and details in it 💖I applaude you how you edit these video's and how you put these drone images in between your video and photos! love the drone images from Carlos very much 🌟and his interview with the architect and carpentry! You are all such modest and kind people to make these local craftsmen more famus and they deserve all the love and attention 💖And I want to make you a huge compliment as you both are working together in this video and I love this as to me Nicki how you as an English woman see the Italian view/part of this and Carlos as an Italian contributes with his part and the stunning drone images and I think that makes it so unique! 💞You are both such down to earth and modest and very kind people and I love that 💞I view life more from a spiritual point of view and everything happens for a reason. The fact that you were discussing the fact to put some advertisement in your video as until now you did not earn from it I will tell you my part of it. I am on the same page as you Nicki, I usually do not like advertisements in the video's, but you do not make an income from it, but are working very hard for making these bautiful video's. On top of that the distribution belt of your car broke down and that is a very expensive reparation! Maybe this happened to make the decision to put an advertisement in your video's? I have no clue how much money tha twill make for you, but we as viewers can skip it if we are annoyed by it, can we not? (Ps. I know for the very close future things on earth are going to change massively and money will not be a problem for us anymore. We will not have to pay income taxes anymore and we get a kind of stipend per month which will cover the basic things for life. and a lot of other changes will come so that we will no longer be in survival modus 🙏) I totally understand if you decide to put advertising in the video's. Why not consult your dear father as he is such a wise ( camera))man? You have inherited a lot of his skills by puting together these beautiful video"s Nicki. I am only here for a few months and I love how you share about your life in Positano and I am always looking forward to your video's. Much love to you and your family 🌷 and I hope your car willbe fixed soon and that it will not be a high bill 🙏
Love the walk down the stairs.
Nicki, maybe in a near future vlog you can talk about how Carl and yourself overcame the language barrier when you first met and couldn’t speak each other’s languages.
I can’t tell you how much we enjoy your vlog. We’ve been to Positano and loved it. We stayed in Nocelle and toured around the area by bus. Every Sunday night after dinner we put on your weekly vlog and relax and sit back and watch the two of you going about your business. Strangely enough it feels like visiting family. Ive always enjoyed the music that you have used like the Australian gal that sings jazz. I have a lady that you might enjoy that is similar to her. She has that easy kind of jazzy feel as well. Her name is Chantal Chamberland. Have a look! You might enjoy her! Keep up the wonderful job you tow do and here’s to looking forward to many more
My knees hurt just watching you do those stairs not to mention my vertigo, but you do live in paradise!
Nicki you produce a 30 minute television show every week with amazing content and footage. It’s such high quality and unique and you do that alone (with Carlos).
If you monetize that it’s totally understandable.
Another beautiful video and dialog. The woodworker with all that history was awesome. I only wish I could explain the peace I experience when watching.
Hello Carlo and Nikki, lovely to see you home but sorry you came back to such lousy weather. How lovely of you all to make a roster to visit Carlo’s parents I am sure they appreciate it and Carlo is so fortunate to still have both parents around. I would never see those Waterfalls if not for you as I do not do heights and walking on that track would be a no no for me lol! I am amazed that the fur babies run up and down the steps, cliff walks and never seem to tire although their little legs are working over time and assume they have long naps, as I would, once they got home. The little shop with the home made lamps was gorgeous and can only imagine how striking they would be lit up at home in an evening. As for your car well thankfully it got you both home safely before falling a part and to think you could have got stuck some where for goodness knows how long is scary and worrying. At least you know the mechanic and you can trust his work no matter how long it takes. As for you doing videos whether sponsored or not is entirely up to you either way I would still be here. Thank you for another lovely video it seemed so much content was squeezed in I loved it❤️❤️
Nicki, you and Carlo are a delight to watch. Just keep doing you, I love all of it.
Hi Nicki & Carlo! Thank you for taking us along on your nature walks. It’s delightful to witness the incredible beauty that is Positano, even if through the eyes of another. Carlo, I cringed when you said the timing belt on your car broke. That’s an expensive repair in the U.S. For the sake of your wallet, I hope your mechanic’s repair skills are great, and his charges reasonable.
You were molto fortunato that your car did not break down on the trip back and forth from England, especially since it is a rather complicated problem and repair. Thank you for remembering the video you shot back in October in the new shop and showing us all the work that goes into the lanterns, for example. Waterfalls are always pleasant to see and hear. Buona Domenica.
Love watching Holly scampering down the steps❣️
I absolutely love the videos yall put out. I think the world needs and craves more than what is on TV. I rarely watch regular TV anymore. I love it when you showcase local artisans and merchants. The videography is stunning. Just lovely, I so look forward to new videos.
I learned of your channel recently from Julie Montagues channel, if you are curious how people find you. What a beautiful part of the world you live in. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life.
Sometimes I just forget to comment! But I love your videos. They always put me in such a calm place, especially after having a stressful and intense day -when I see that you have posted a new video, , it’s wonderful to look forward to. Thank you, Nikki and Carlo
Love your videos. Will watch with or without ads. If the sponsorship helps you continue to make your content then by all means. You deserve to take advantage of the opportunities presented to you. If you do choose to do sponsorships only agree to companies/products that you truly stand behind! Keep up the beautiful work 🥰
Wow, what a weather in Positano. I thought only in Texas was a crazy weather. I think you should do whatever you like Nicki. You and Carlo are doing great for all of us showing what we like, Positano. Thanks 😊
Cars!!! A nightmare when they go wrong...we can't live without them! An Audi too...😬££££££'s. As you say, thank goodness you were home!!! Missed you both...it seems so long since summer.....I need to look into Patron and see what it involves! Happy to see you looking relaxed again after all your trip anxieties....Sandi x
You and Carlo always see the positive which is refreshing!
So funny you mentioned, no commercials, and midway through that sentence, the video broke for an add. I know this wasn’t your planning but the timing was so funny. Continue with the great videos, helping my Italian when I listen to Carlo
The Adventure continues!
Sorry about ur car! Timing belt is definitely a major part to repair. 🤯
Your video are beautiful escape for the Soul. They take viewers to most beautiful places!
You both are always smiling thru it All!
Grazie!❤
Another wonderful video! I had a timing belt break on my Volkswagen bug while I was driving at 60 miles an hour on the freeway and the car jerked out of my hands and almost crashed. That was 50 years ago. Love all your videos and so happy you are thriving and loving life and sharing it with us!
Lovely video. It is a good thing the car broke down in winter rather than summer as well, imagine the queues of traffic!!!. Hope it isn't too expensive. The carpenters shop was a lovely bonus. I thought for a moment the lanterns were posh bird feeders. Take care.
Lol so cute the car breaks down in Positano,here in San Francisco I got flooded because of very heavy rain, having to stay here and there for at least a month. All very frustrating but we are all blessed, in times like this there is always a silver lining, sometimes we don’t see it right away. So we try to stay calm and carry on ❤️ Until next week Ciao ❤️
