An important question for all of you: *in future videos, should we remove the background music?* Please tell us here in the comment section! Check our video where we cover other regions of southern Italy here: ua-cam.com/video/FYHo1vSEZtM/v-deo.htmlsi=Aj9Uib8NoGecVn4n The method I use to learn new languages which I recommend is this one (by using this link we both get a Bonus!): www.lingq.com/?referral=LevideSouza
I am told that there is only so much local availability of milk, and milk is the main ingredient of cheese and most of the milk is used for the cheese making. I don’t know this for sure as it is here say to me, however it does make sense since a lot of the great cheeses are made locally. As far as some of these commenters saying that the photos are of Venice, they have obviously never been to Messina or Palermo. Just saying.
I suggest whoever put up this sales video, watch the video of the Agrigento water crisis. It's in Italian so if you don't speak Italian, it's enough to watch the body language of the people and look at the landscape to understand the anguish. There is no water, partly bc 52% is lost from leaky pipelines that have not been maintained by the Comune due to lack of funding, but also due to a drying climate afflicting the whole of Italy, not just Sicily. It can be seen clearly in your own video how dry the landscape is. While produce may be cheap atm, that is about to change drastically as farmers start to abandon their land as their wells dry up. ua-cam.com/video/QOjE8S57AaA/v-deo.html
It is in the part where I compare the low-density of tourism in Agrigento with "other parts" that are over-explored. No better example than Venezia for tourism over exploration.

Not everyone wants to move there and buy a house. Some (like us) would be interested in living there for a few months, spending our money to enrich the local economy, and renting a nice apartment. But..... most of the time videos like this just are not interested in pitching to visitors like us. If we aren't planning on moving there forever and buying a home these videos just aren't interested in us. Its a pity really because I think that there are far more possible mid term visitors like us than there are ones that want to move there and buy a home. I think you are completely missing the major source of income.
The smartest thing anybody could do is rent before buying in a place one knows nothing about. Italy's drying climate is reaching a crisis point now with a loss of 77% of rainfall and snow melt on the main land and zero water in the Agrigento area in Sicily that this video is marketing real estate to foreigners about.
@@the_expatI watched this video. It does mention some rental properties but I didn’t catch what sites were used to find them. What resources are available for extended stay on rental properties? That would be helpful before making such an investment
If people like you keep broadcasting to people about places that are cheap and pleasant then they won't be cheap and pleasant for long. Keep this information quiet.. it's for the best

I don't think the music adds anything to the presentation. I would recommend removing it from future videos.
Yes, please remove the music - SO DISTRACTING.
@@yannip2083agree
Yes agree, music does not need to be there.
Yes, either remove or set it very low. The music repeating throughout is also irritating
I believe there is a shortage of water in Sicily especially Agrigento. This has always been an ongoing problem.
That is the truth! I have been following these close for a while now,and it will repeat next year aso. not looking good.
This video makes me feel very impressed!.

Makes sense!
Thanks so much. I was feeling so sad until I watched this video. I feel happier now. And also, I enjoy the peppy music in the video.
Thank you, great video.
Yes, I would love to know more about the house deals! Thank you!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it :) Thanks!
The underlying music is distracting and to loud in my opinion
Thanks! I removed it for future videos.
Yes too loud.
Fantastico ❤
Yes, I would like to learn more about the problems with the 1 Euro house deals in Italy. It sounds too good to be true!
It's not a bargain, end up paying way more, then buying a normal house.
Coming soon! Thanks for the comment :)
You are right! It is too good to be true!
Yes, it is too good. At 1 euro the ones I have seen are overpriced.

thank you for the warning. Water is a absolutely necessary.
I bet cheese is getting government assistance that dairy farming isn't getting
Very interesting. I would like to know about the £1 houses.
Where is the link for Italian language learning please?
Here: www.lingq.com/?referral=LevideSouza
OK. But only if you speak Italian.
Why is there a clip of Venezia in this video of Sicily?
It is in the part where I compare the low-density of tourism in Agrigento with "other parts" that are over-explored. No better example than Venezia for tourism over exploration.
@@the_expatIt is not true. Lie. You were talking about healthcare in Sicily.

What about all the Tuzzones?Is it safe?
In general it is safe, except in a few places that are easy to avoid.
What are tuzzones??

In many of our videos we actually also talk about renting. Check this one: ua-cam.com/video/GKCLjZN206k/v-deo.htmlsi=QzHjAJzJjzq0wca6
I agree wholeheartedly with this comment.
