I can't believe this is already the third episode of my series "What I eat in a week in Italy at my Nonna's house" - time really does fly 🥹 I added 3 extra days to this episode as a little "thank you" for all the love you've shown since the beginning of this journey ❤️ I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed eating all the yummy food my Nonna prepared for us!
This video was filmed in August 2023-I'm so sorry it took me so long to post it but I wanted to share the cookbook at the same time, which took me a while to perfect! It wasn't easy because Nonna doesn't follow any specific measurements when she cooks. Each time she makes a recipe, it turns out a little different from the last. I had to guess all the ingredient quantities by eye and test each recipe about 10-15 times before it came out tasting like hers 😅. But it was a labor of love, and I’m so happy we made it happen.
This video is a bit different from my previous ones because I experimented with a more "cinematic" style. Chris (@chiyoks) did the color grading for the whole video and I'm so happy with the final result! Be sure to check out his channel; he creates stunning cinematic videos, and I look up to his filming/editing style so much!
Hope you enjoy the video and thank you for watching 🙏🏻
Love,
Rosie

[About Me]
Hi my name is Rosie, I'm 26 and my life is a bit confusing so i'm writing this lol.
To make it easy:
- I was born in Northern Italy, in the region of Veneto
- My whole family still lives there (mom, dad and my little sister Marty)
- I moved to Toronto, Canada, at 19 all alone to ✨find myself✨ (spoiler: it didn't work, i got more lost if anything)
So, I live half my life in Italy and half my life in Canada.
Also, my mom is from Moldova (country in Eastern Europe) and my dad is from Calabria (region in Southern Italy) and both my grandmas still live there. So you’ll occasionally see me going there as well.
I hope this clears things up a bit.. or maybe makes them more confusing lol.
I don’t know, i tried 😄

thank u for sharing rosie! ❤
Rosie the cook book is such a labor of love, I followed this series for years it brings me so much comfort. I am so excited to try the recipes out. Congrats to you and Nonna Rosa!
New sub from the US. Girl you need to post more content. Your vlog is so addicting I’ve binge watched almost half of it haha.
Can u do short video show us how u film and edit the video, love your color so much
Hello Rosie..I like your content ..I'm a Filipina from the Philippines ❤
This is the definition of "I think I like this little life."
❤
facts🤣
definitely
Literally so many people tried doing this same topic but no one can top your authenticity. Thanks for a whole 1 hour video of an Italian village life that I enjoyed every minute of
She's the first one who actually did it with this format and so man people copied her, but I agree --- she's so authentic and makes me want to keep coming back.
She inspired others ❤😊
@@keylamercadal3050That sounds much more kind 😌
So agree! Rosie's videos are so wholesome and authentic. ❤
@@janeemflores ya I know 😌
this shows us that we don't need expensive things, we need sunshine, good food and people around us.
Just the simple life
So living in Finland = instant fail
weeeell italy is still one of the richest countries in the world so yeah
no its expensive for sure
It depends... I live in Florence Italy 😂😅😅 life is expensive 😂😂😂😂
I grew up here, today I'm a mom, everthing is pretty expensive today, u work to survive 🌈 buuuut a fact here is that southern people is way more friendly and joyful than here 😂 lot of love to my co-workers, from Calabria, Sicily and Naples ❤
now with inflation, buying several cheeses for one dish is actually very expensive
I am from the U.S., and I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see a family cooking together, shopping together, eating together, and enjoying family time. It is so refreshing. I always look forward to these videos and can't wait to see more.
quick everyone rosie posted!!
Rosie is in the big leagues
Wow even youtube himself loves Rosie haha
Right 😁❤@@sakuraMBLAQfinite
biggest flex
Woooooha UA-cam😮
In this era of short videos, I can't believe I watched this one hour video without even fast forwarding. Rosie is my favorite UA-camr. Her shooting style is really comfortable, and the beautiful visuals make people want to go on vacation in Italy immediately 😭
i didn't realize it's an hour long till i read your comment 😂
Trueeeeee I didn’t even realize I watched the whole hour
comfy is a good way to put it
I love she content so much. It's so organic and easy to watch.
@@AA-qy7km fr 😭 i love her videos sooo much it makes me want to live in italy 🥹💝
From a Filipina viewer’s perspective, what makes Rosie’s videos so comforting and entertaining at the same time is that, I feel so connected to their culture. The family gathering, the festive amount of foods cooked by her grandfathers and uncles in big pots, the friendly people around her wherever she goes... everything in Rosie’s videos are so heartwarming to see. The feeling is so nostalgic, like I’m coming back home when in fact, I have never been to Italy. I love you Rosie ❤
In addition, I also grew up as a Lola’s (nonna) girl which makes me so happy when they’re together. Unfortunately, my nonna already passed away but I’m healed now. Long live to all nonnas out there!
It hurts that I’ll never get to experience this and feel and taste the amount of love put into the food and the amount of love all together with family
I feel the same way but I made my own family and you can too. You are beautiful!
I know I'll never have this either. One can dream though.
Italians sure do know how to enjoy life to the fullest and appreciate the simple things like family and a good meal.
I think most Europeans are this way. It’s food for the body & for the soul.
It's funny they all look so bored. It's so natural to them to not show emotion even those they're eating great food and relaxed.
This is how my family was growing up and throughout my life. My granny did the cooking, we helped. Everyone in my family doesn’t know how to cook small. Even for just my husband and I, I cook enough to feed at least 10 people. I guess I like having enough in case others show up. I always eat the leftovers though, so no waste. I’m from Florida, but have no idea what all I have in my family. My grandpas name was O’Donald which I’ve been told is an Irish thing, or something like that, because of the O’ part. I don’t know lol.
@@cassandrasmomno not at all, i wish they were. The Netherlands, Belgium, Deutsland, Polen, Norway, etc dont give a flying f** about good food. Only Portugal, Italy, south of france are like this. Spain not even. So yeah. It has to do with the people. Italian people are warm and extra people. Portugal are the same but more carribean which I love🦋. The south of Europe know wassup😚, everything more north are were most of european countries are... are just.... yeah haha🤷🏽♀️
@@AJD7233How not Spain?
What Rosie has over most vloggers is authenticity. I'm italian and the way she captures moments doesn't feel scripted or forced at all
I absolutely agree! I feel like I’m watching my family home video but 10x better camera quality. Her videos feel personal and to me and that’s what matters most. 😍
Absolutely agree. She’s the only vlogger I watch for Italian content like lifestyle, food and culture.
definetily! shes so unique ❤
You’re absolutely right! This looks spontaneous and filled with details. Rosie should add the film of going to the airport and the flight to Italy and Calabria and the return flight home and include the dinner on the flights.
Yes yes
Nonna smiling while serving (15:54) melted my heart, Protect this woman at all costs 🥺
Hello 💚 There's something I must tell you.
Last year my heart grew terribly weak and back then no one knew, why and what to do. All I could do was lie in bed, do nothing and rest, rest, rest. I was miserable, terribly sad, because it had happened so suddenly. And then, I found you and watched every video. I fell in love with the food you showed and began to smile with every episode. Now, my heart had surgery, I'm doing much, much better and I want to thank you from the depths of my heart for the strength and joy you gave with your videos 🙏💚 Thank you and I wish your family and you everything good 🙏💚
Usually a silent subscriber but, that was one of the most genuine and heartwarming video I’ve seen. That feeling you get when you get to spend with extended family you haven’t seen for a while, especially grandparents is just different and you’ve captured it very well 😊. It made me miss my grandma especially her amazing cooking back in India so much.
Riiiight her videos are so comforting and home-ey ❤ also wheres the link??
Totally agree!
Same! Lovely video.
This feels like a studio ghibli movie but the italian live action version. Your content is so authentic and wholesome. Love you, your family and culture. Thank you for taking the time to share this gift with us
These were the words I've been thinking ever since I started watching!
As an Italian myself, I can totally see what you mean! Although this lifestyle is mostly common in the south of Italy I can feel the familiarity with all of this myself! Greetings from italy
that, and a wes anderson vibe idk
Yesss! The reason why I love her videos is because they give me the same wholesome vibes I get in Studio ghibli films ✨️
This feels like a godfather movie without the violence, politics, and vulgarities
Something so special about grandmas cutting our food with their thumbs to the knife
Your vlogs are right outta a movie! So calming. It makes me feel that people everywhere are essentially the same. They want to eat good, nap, have desserts, spend time with family, roam about in their hometowns and celebrate life.
I immediately started crying within the first few minutes. This is such a beautiful series, I can't explain how lucky you are to be able to live in such a beautiful region and share these moments with family amongst fresh food. It's pure joy. I wish this kind of living was accessible to everyone, we would all be so much more content with life.
I also teared up 😮
I’m a minute in and have tears in my eyes! So wonderful 🥹
me too!
Love love your family too 😘. You are so blessed to have them all together. Thank you for sharing your family and food. I'm now living in Arona Italy with my family. My son and Grandson are moving here next month. I'm ecstatic🥳. I've been watching your UA-cam from America, before moving to Arona last August. 🎉. Stay Sweet ❤️
Crying? 😐
This video is art. You’ve managed to incorporate photography, sceneries, tradition, family, the heart of Italian culture as it is. You’re so lucky and oh so talented
I am an Italian, living in Germany. Thank you to valorize so much my country, which we Italians too often despise.
It's mind-blowing how similar Italian and Mexican cultures are!
Italy is so freaking beautiful, I'd love to go there someday
Colour grading of this vlog is stunning, not mention the scene selections, background music and storytelling. Bravo!!
thank you so much 🥹🫶
Video looks amazing. Very high quality. I'm watching it on an LG OLED and it's stunning.
We love youuuu and appreciate your editing and story telling. We wish good health more to you and your family. :) Keep vlogging italian foods and Nonna hehe@@rosiemaio
You capture Italian summer like no one else. It makes you completely homesick. Your nonna’s quiet devotion to her family is so admirable. The joy on her face surrounded by her family on her birthday nearly made me cry♥️
Who is missing her videos,nonna & her mom cooking😊 upload a video please
It’s my first time watching your video, and I can say I miss those moments when you can gather over food with your big family. Since my grandparents died years ago, those warmth no longer there and we were drifting apart. Your video gave me that portion of warmth back
finally new content 😭😭❤️ i can stop rewatching the old ones now
Same 😢 hopefully more will come sooner 🙏
❤❤❤
Wow I think I love you random internet stranger
@@Greenbone-ij8zx i love you too internet stranger xoxo gossip girl
@@bombaebrewwow I think you're a girl judging by the name, mind sharing your socials?
I have to tell you the reason why this video is so special to me. I didn’t have this growing up and now as an adult I don’t have it either. It’s wholesome to see a family actually sitting down, all together. The eating and having conversations. I love the format, always looking forward to find the next vid
Well said.
im no contact with my family for legit reasons but this makes me so happy, seeing a real family all together, beingloud and joyfull and not caring about apearances and so much love and food
@@LadyAhiru It is a very common thing not only in Italy but also in places like my country, Spain and Portugal and even Greece and Turkey. It is a very Mediterranean thing actually.
I hope you’ll get to live this with a family of your own one day 🤍
resonate with this so much!!!
My eyes got extremely watery when you sang happy birthday to Nonna❤❤ That was very special… My abuela turned 91 recently. It was the first birthday she ever celebrated at her new care home. I miss my abuela’s house. My other abuela doesn’t really recognize me anymore, but I used to cook with her too. As a Spanish person who is extremely close to her family and has lived in Scotland for 13 years now, your videos really speak to me Rosie. Keep treasuring every second you have with your family. Your life reminds me of all the summers I spent in Spain when I was younger. Thank you for sharing your life creating new memories, which sparked a few nostalgic memories of mine :) ¡Gracias Rosie!
So good as always. You are going to appreciate these videos beyond belief in like 30 or 40 years. They are going to be such a time capsule for you and your family. I appreciate the color grading and some of your shot selections are so 1960's and 70's Italian. Love it!
I wish more content creators made videos like this. They are so serene and wonderful. I feel like I'm there with your family and enjoying the experience right along with you.
And with that I felt like I had a vacation in Italy visiting Nonna. Thank you for taking us along. Your family is beautiful and can feel the love. Blessings to all of you!
As southern Italian girl let me say that I wait for your videos every single years, they remind me of the simplicity of us Italian, so emotional and authentic 🥺
I cried watching this videos, such a special family which is rarely to see nowadays, I hope your nona gets too live a rest of a beautiful life she’s precious
As an Italian living abroad for the past 16 years due to my career, this video made me cry of happiness. I miss my nonna so much. Excellent quality too! Thank you, truly.
😢
Im not even from italy yet i cried watching this
@@rosalinetrianalakusa6391 Awww, there's a little bit of Italy in all of us, I am convinced of that.
just AUDIBLY gasped at the notification oh my god this is gonna be the first thing i watch once my exams are over next week IM SO HAPPY
NO ME TOO-
lmfao so did i
SAME LMAO
Stop. Cause same
Me too 🥳🥳
Your videos at your grandma's house are like a hug to me, I really love them. Your channel made me more interested in Italy and Italian food. I'm from Brazil and watching your videos I relate a lot because of the family relationship with my uncles and cousins, the delicious food my grandmother prepares and the good times I have when I visit her.
I LOOOOOVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I rewinded everything i thought i missed. I couldn't wait to see you doing this video again. I see others doing week at Nonna's but no-one can match your energy or your family's. They're so natural in front of the camera! Your mum and Marty are my favourite to see again always!!!
I dont know Why but these videos are so calming and theraputic 😂
I think because many of us have divorce parents
@@katya_tea lmao HAAHA
No talking. Music only
Rosie, my grandma loves your videos! I am brazilian, but my grandma is italian and every time that I invite her to watch your videos with me, it reminds her about her nonna and she feels so good. All I have to say is thank you very much, we appreciate that!
ur italian too lol
@@HieuNguyen0611 she is Brazilian. But she can have Italian citizenship.
They have three courses just for breakfast 😭😭😭
That’s so sweet 💕
This is wholesome ❤❤❤ I think this is how we all supposed to live. Breakfast, a little shopping, lunch, taking naps, go to the beach, and then dinner. All surrounded by our loved ones. Simple yet utterly beautiful. Good jod Rosie!!! Hope one day I can visit Italy 🇮🇹 Love from Indonesia ❤
Yes, they’re definitely living La Dolce Vita! I’m sure it’s not like this all the time but they’re enjoying the slow pace of life, eating with family, hanging out eating dessert. Which reminds me, they go out to eat dessert a lot! I wonder if food/dessert is generally cheaper there than where I live. They eat so well! ❤🍨
Your Nona eats like she belongs to the royalty . Very comfortable on her sofa w a plate of watermelon after that grandiose meal . Bless her! She’s my idol
the way rosie's videos make me appreciate the whole idea of living a simple life and enjoying every moment a good meal, a family gathering, a walk to grab veggies, a swim... there's a lot of lessons learned and much of love captured. thank you rosie for serving us 1 hour of love and appreciation❤
ROSIE!! AN HOUR!! omg i hope you feel how much love and appreciation we all have for these videos! definitely made my day, might even stretch it out and enjoy it all week. Thank you for the hard work!! ❤❤
Edit: ya no i definitely watched it all today😭
Your sweet nonna seems like the kind of person who doesn't talk a lot but she shows her love and affection for her family by cooking them tasty meals, bless her soul.
Old school italians have a sort of unspoken love for their families
I want you to know how much these videos comfort me. I always find myself watching after a long day!!!
I feel like Disney should make a movie about Nonna ☺ She is so precious and everything about this life is beautiful!
Precious Nonna
Disney is not worthy of Nonna.
1 hour of bliss. Such videos help me a lot with anxiety and depression. Thank you Rosie. Love to all.
Seriously, me too!!!!!!!!!!!!
How beautiful that you made a cookbook with you nonna, how special ❤
I’m obsessed with Italian culture and this is amazing. I love how we are alive at the same time experiencing life differently in our own unique way. ❤ I’m Mexican born in the U.S and love Italy. I would love to travel there 😢
Waking up for the fresh morning breeze, having coffee and pastries for breakfast, walking to get the raw material for lunch, eating really good food, fresh fruits, desserts, having a nap, drinking more coffee while gossiping, going to the beach to relax and later cooling off with ice cream, going our for dinner, Rosie it's safe to say that you are indeed living the dream life. If I was there, I'd never pickup my phone because there's no room to be bored!
I can say so many nice things about this video and one of them being that I am in love with how you have captured the simple and mundane things of everyday life and that makes this video so raw and real and just! beautiful!
Now because of you, I have added one thing in my bucket list and that is that I want to visit Italy every year in the summer, spend good time with the locals, and make friends for life over there! I really hope I'm able to do that one day because I am so in love with this lifestyle
I want ur life, ur life is amazing! I love ur noona 🥺🫶
After that come to Greece,is next to Italy.Greece is SO similar to Italy,you will realise it,too.
@@Lina_5_ omg that's so nice. I got a personal invitation from a native haha. But I will definitely visit there one day. It's a promise 😌
It’s cool to see how other cultures cook/spend time together. What a beautiful culture!
What a beautiful place to live in. The weather, the sea, all the fruits and sea food, everyone must be happy living there
This made me cry! What a beautiful family and that food 😍 I have family in southern Italy and I haven't been back to visit in years. You capture so perfectly what it's like there and it makes me so nostalgic for the wonderful times I've had there. Grazie
I'm thinking of filming a Q&A with Nonna next time I see her! Feel free to leave any questions you have for her down below and hopefully she’ll agree to do it ❤🥰
I love the cookbook! 😀 It’s beautiful and the recipes are explained well with the pics. I really like the pantry chapter. The picture of your whole family at the end is so precious! Beautiful!! Thank you Rosie and Nonna Rosa!! 💝
Good video, i love nonna's recipes 😋😘
You're my favourite person.
Your videos are my comfort videos
Noooooo waaay i watched a whole hour
We missed you! Good to see you again with a new video!
I love these videos, they bring so much nostalgia. From the ladies wearing their patterned summer dresses, to prickly pears and watermelon after lunch, the family bickering and all the labor of love that Nonna's food is; freshly prepared every day, I can't help but notice the similarities with my own yiayia, as a cypriot. Mediterranean summers are truly the best. Thank you for this video, Rosie🫶
My grandpa was from calabria, but he move to Argentina when he was very very young. I hope one day I can meet where he born ❤
One of my favs from this series..Rosie, your family life is so wholesome. I love the relationship your mom has with Marti, she really is her baby.
OMG YOU FINALLY POSTEDDDDD!!! i'm literally crying beacuse your video is my healing AND i always watched it with my family at home but now I have moved far away to go to college and watch it alone. but from all that, your videos and vlogs really help me cure my longing for my people at home. THANK YOUU ROSIE FOR YOUR EXISTING, I LOVE YOUUUU SO SOOO MUCHHHH
Thank YOU ❤🙏🏻love you so much! 🥹
Where are you from?
@@rosiemaioplease keep posting regularly 😢😢😢 you have no idea how much your videos are helping people
I LOVE U MOREEEE@@rosiemaio
You need to get a life
my grandma passed away last year and your videos with nonna is literally very comforting because of how much she reminds me of my grandma and her cooking, i miss her sm🥹❤
Sorry for your loss! I’m glad to hear that you found solace in her videos. I’m sure your grandma was a great nonna ☺️ Sending lots of love! 💪💖
God blessed your grandma
Beautyfull vídeos, family meravigliosa
I’m so sorry for u.
And i’m glad knowing that you founded a safe space in her videos for remember your sweet grandma 💗
Your video heals me 😭❤ I've been looking for videos like this before... such beautiful family, tradition and country 💕
Oh my goodness!! I absolutely LOVED this video! What a loving family you have...and the food!!! How fortunate you are..❤
As a Spaniard, I am amazed at the nostalgia that this video brought me. It felt like reliving the summers spent as a child with my grandparents, the slow living, being around family, eating good food... Makes me feel so grateful 🩷
I’m from Galicia, this videos give me life. Me and my family love you.❤
This was an hour long and it still wasn’t long enough 😭😭 I never comment on videos but this was so beautiful and wholesome to watch! You’ve captured such beautiful moments ❤your family is so precious 🫶✨✨
This whole video was just stunning and beautiful to watch! The love your family has for each other is quite refreshing to see ❤
The best UA-cam video of the year! Beautiful food, beautiful family & beautiful memories and it is moving to see you cherish it, makes us all reflect, and hopefully cherish our own! And it's the best to see you smile when you are eating! 😊❤ Thank you for sharing this!
For years now these videos have been inspiring me to be a better cook! Not many in my family cook much, but your nonna inspired me so much I decided the first step to becoming a great nonna myself one day is starting those traditions myself! To anyone else out there feeling similar take this as the sign to just jump into cooking! I have learned so much and shared so much love over the meals I have cooked! Can’t wait for the cook book 🎉
CHE BELLO ! complimenti
Same energy here ❤
I think that the countries that overlook the Mediterranean Sea, such as Italy, Spain, southern France, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, we have almost the same atmosphere and daily family life, especially in the summer, and this is very cool💗💗
Yes 100%
Also Greece and Turkey
1000%%%%
Latin America is also very similar
The Middle East in general, Egypt and Asian countries Philippines....., I don't know why you're trying to seem European, because I know that drinking wine and mingling is unacceptable in Algeria and Morocco, something that has nothing to do with the Mediterranean.The culture you have is southern European
these videos are my comfort videos - your grandma is so cute and precious! and the joy of everyone sitting together at the table and eating lunch everyday is so lovely. can't wait for next years! sending lots of love x
Been watching you for years and this is the first video that made me cry multiple times! I love it so much and the way you documented it was perfect. Never stop!!!
I am not italian but I come from a small island in Spain and I used to have this before moving abroad due to job opportunities/studies. I miss them and this peaceful life so much. I am crying right now with happy tears because of the good memories I had the chance to experienced: having a table full of family, exploring with cousins/friends, the village fairs/festivals, fresh food, the sea nearby...
Thank you for sharing a bit of your culture and family. It seems lovely and I am sure they all are.
This video is a good idea to keep the memory alive
Buina fortuna nella vita, vicina❤
As an italian thank you so much for this amazing work of art. You really bring the best of our country with this series. Keep going!
This video brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful is life when you’re surrounded by loving family ❤
This video is put together so beautifully! I feel like it was like a movie and I loved all of the ways you captured your family felt so natural and sweet. I was realizing how special it is to experience this because I’ll never have this myself - home cooked food is always different. Thank you for sharing, and give our love to your Nonna!
something about this series feels so comfortable, nostalgic and beautiful, thank you Rosie for making these videos 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I love how close your family is and how rich your traditions are. It seems like such an idyllic life.
Thank you thank you thank you. I’m brazilian, but this video encapsulated my childhood in so many ways. I’m beyond grateful… my heart is smiling.
So so beautiful. The little scenes that show your family and the captions you write... love it all so much. God Bless❤
First of all, I don’t think your nonna ever ages since you’ve begun these videos! She looks awesome. She looks so strong and totally there mentally.
I can’t help but notice how healthy everyone looks. In America it is very frowned upon to eat bread/pasta on a somewhat daily basis and dessert is treated similarly. You’re a glutton if you want dessert. Everyone’s scared of being overweight.
All I can think of is how free everyone looks with a strong zest for the simple moments in life.
you really outdid yourself with this one Rosie! The videography and the colourgrading looks wonderful, I can see you're getting better with each video. The way you capture everyday life as an Italian family is so wonderful. Keep going you're really great at it! I can't wait for your next work :)
IKR she is TALENTED Allahumma Barik✨
THANK YOU SO MUCH, DEAREST ROSIE AND NONNA, GIVING US THE CHANCE TO SHARE THE TABLE OF A TRUE, SO ADORABLE FAMILY !!!!!! GRATEFUL !!!!!!!
Your nonna gives so much warmth to my heart
Your video makes me realize there’s so much that I can explore and there are many people who I love and care in this world ✨
Sending so much love from Assam, India 🇮🇳. I lost my grandma when I was very young, your Nonna is such a sweetheart, she is warm, maternal, you are blessed. The internet has fallen in love with your Nonna ❤🥺 thank you for showcasing your authentic Italian roots, I love and admire your family. I am going to visit Calabria someday ✨
buying your cookbook as soon as i can! this series has really inspired me to learn more about cooking and its many joys! thank you so much for sharing these videos with us all!
How beautiful the world is, calm without the chaos, Such a peaceful video with food and family. What more do we need. Thank you❤
Your video made me cry remembering my own childhood. I'm from Spain but my family was like yours. As you said, "never take for granted your family". Thank you
I can't tell what I'm more jealous of - how close and lovely your family is or how much access you have to diverse healthy foods hahaha
Your video made me so happy!!! Thank you for sharing it with the world.
thank you for this video Rosie, such a breathe of fresh air where most content on social media can be materialistic, a good reminder what truly matters in life is the people around you... and good food too! wishing you, Nonna and your fam happiness and healthy bodies!
The quality of this video is insane. I love the style, the content, your family, everything!
I watched this video on the day you posted it while my two-year-old daughter was in the room, and in the last four days since it was posted, she keeps asking to watch “the video of the girl eating with her family“ ❤
That’s so sweet 🥹
You have very interesting content for someone who’s never been to italy or understands a typical day in the life there for a family. Very cool and relaxing to watch. Your nonna really takes care of you. Take care,
Jesse
Chico, California, 🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing your vacation with us! Watching this was like watching a cinematic masterpiece in the form of a warm hug..
The only thing that I don’t like about your videos is that I always end up crying😢 so beautiful, love the life that you live❤ I wish the best to you, your Nona, and all of your family😢❤
What an atmosphere. Thank you for being so real, showing us raw footage of your family, lifestyle and of course the great food.
I love the documentary style of this video showing raw and authentic experience, the best video I have ever watched for a long time. I hope you never stop posting videos like this. This is so precious
I have watched this glorious video 3 times...never tired of it...such a great representation of your family, your cuisine and your country...11 out if 10, Rosie❤🎉!!
A few quick observations from a long-time follower:
1. So glad your mom came with you this time! She deserves the break, even if she can't fully enjoy it :).
2. Thank you for including the names of the towns this time, so we can have a better sense of where you are.
3. Your dad seems happier in this video than he's been in your other videos!
4. Your grandma doesn't say much in the video, but when she does, she has a surprisingly acerbic and biting sense of humour! (e.g. "did you want him to cook them too!?"). I think a Q&A with her would be fantastic and full of surprises.
5. My favorite parts of this video aren't the tourist attractions or even the food, but rather, the glimpses you give us of the mundane daily lives of the locals. Feel free to linger longer on those next time if you like. For example, the shop seller sitting and knitting in the entrance to her shop because there are no customers at the moment (49:52). Or the casual shot of some random guy's TV funeral while everyone is eating lunch and gossiping. So beautiful. Those are the moments that shine the most! It's also why your Moldova video, with your shots of your grandma cooking at her tiny stove and your neighbor stepping in horse poop, is probably my favourite one.
Oh my goodness! I can watch this forever! Thank you so much for this amazing video, dear Rosie❤ Wonderful, comforting and warm. Cannot wait for more)
I love the hand towel backdrop! The authentic touch to the video is lovely 😊
