it feels so good to finally see your hometown being represented and appreciated after a lot of years of being ignored and mistreated. so so happy you enjoyed it 🤍
Martina, thanks so much and apologies for the delayed reply! Matera is an incredible place and we are so appreciative to hear kind words from someone who grew up there. It is an honor to share stories like this! Hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 -Howard
Awesome Italy trip! It’s why I tuned in and subscribed!
Awesome, so glad you found us and are along for the journey! 👍 -Howard
beautiful video, Matera should be visited at least once in a lifetime. unique and unrepeatable city
Daniele, we completely agree! Matera is truly a special place to explore and we can't wait to return. Hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
Really lovely video! Thanks for all the info and beautiful panoramas.
Fascinating!
Great show! What a story.
Post-World War 2 Europe was difficult. Ireland had famines ... literally starvation. The famine walk in Ireland is not forgotten. In Italy, there is a sense of drama in some areas that other countries hide.
Very good video you always keep it interesting 👍
Amazing video! Matera is on my radar for our next trip to Italy.
Fascinating stories of the towns.
Thanks so much for sharing. So much history and beauty. 💕
-Troy & Aimee
As always you fill the video with not only the 'pretty pictures' but also jam packed with information. Very valuable for those not being able to visit or those planning a visit to Italy. Loved the apartment by the way- airy and spacious. See you soon with the final episode from the Italian series. 💖 🇳🇿 🙋♀️ 🇳🇱
Absolutely fascinating video, going to google Matera, thank you.
Greatly enjoyed it
Thanks so much Chris!
I watch these videos with joy since Matera holds a special place in my heart,because my girlfriend is from this wonderful place.Another interesting places to visit besides Casa Grotta are the MUSMA and the beautiful Casa di Ortega.
Thank you for the video
Your Italy videos are so inspiring,genuine & you guys appear so happy oozing great, positive energy ❤️💕

I love Matera
Great video guys. Thanks. Love that Jack Daniels Chandelier. Awesome !!!
Haha, right? We loved the design touches of the Airbnb. Glad you're along for the journey! 👍 -Howard
Cool city. How do you forget the cistern is down there 🤷🏼♂️. Then rediscover it so much later. Odd but I believe you 😂. Great video 👍🏼
Your video is really great! Besides knowing about your subject matter, you both have great presentation style and humour. And thanks to your video, I will be visiting Matera on my next trip to Italia! Will be watching more of you and subscribing! Cheers and Ciao!

Just wanted to extend a big THANKS! I have thoroughly enjoyed your previous videos throughout North America, but the Italy stops have been really spectacular and very entertaining! Your hard work at filming/editing is greatly appreciated. Best wishes!

Beautiful city
Yes it is! So much history there.
We have a 10 window open between Sicily and Spain, this may be a good fill in. Thanks for your great adventures.
Hi Richard! That's awesome, this would definitely be a great area to visit during that time. So glad you've enjoyed our videos! Hope you have a great time on your trip!
What a cool city!
Right!? So fascinating.
That place is beautiful
Very interesting place...
Right? Very unique! Thanks for watching Gene!
I always like to say hello before watching. HELLO....😃🌹❤🌹
Aww hello there! 🥰
Oh my goodness! Your Matera video is so timely, as my husband and I (along with our pup!) are heading there next weekend! Totally going to check out all your recommendations of places to explore! So beautiful!
Autum, thanks so much! How was your trip?! So glad you're along for the journey. 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads it was perfection! And we did a couple of the things you recommended and added others. We stayed for 2 nights and loved every minute!
@@autumvaught2660 great to hear! 👍 Any of the additional places you'd like to share?
I thought this town seemed familiar after watching your video. It turns out that the car chase scenes in the latest James Bond movie were filmed in the Matera area.
That's true! We didn't get a chance to include that in the episode, but glad you mentioned it in the comments. 👍 -Howard
I love your channel! I tried to hit the notification bell but it’s blocked and says something like it’s blocked because of children viewing? Anyone know what this means?
Looks amazing,… goats 😍
I'm proud to leave in matera one of the most ancient city in the world!
Vlad, it's a beautiful place to live! We're so honored we were able to visit during our time in Italy!
How many days would you suggest to spend in Puglia?
Melissa thanks for watching and great question! There's lots to do as you've seen in this and other videos from our series. For frame of reference, we explored Puglia for about 10 days during this trip. Be sure to check out our Puglia road trip episode and the companion free guide in the description if you haven't already! 👍 -Howard ua-cam.com/video/ZZb6x-Oroyk/v-deo.html
I can't find the Pompeii & Naples video 🥺
It comes out next Sunday 👍😊
Where is this HOUSE WHERE YOU STAYED?

Yes....come to visit 2 days! 😄
Dog people! Three ticks. 👍🎉
