Thanks for watching the video Positano is getting ready for the summer
I completely agree with Carlo's mother's way of thinking, life used to be simpler and people were authentic and free of bad thoughts. Beautiful video as always, seeing Holly and Indie's little face warms my heart.😍
I so agree with this and I’m tearing up having just watched. I also want to go back before TV when we only had happy thoughts and plants, animals and butterflies.
100%
Absolutely wonderful people
Yeah she made it sound so nice...the simple things.
Simple is best
Mamma & Pappa are two of the most precious words in the world! 😢
@20:38 “everything was natural. A flower, a plant, the birdsong, a butterfly it was all wonderful❤” Thank you for gifting this viewer with the pearls of simplicity. Loved listening loved being invited into that beautiful kitchen. ❤
Every neighborhood needs a friendly guy like Carlo. He is such a ray of sunshine! Thanks for sharing the opening and goings on about town. (Lol, was Indie going in a cat door at the end? Dang cute!)
That's what I was thinking about the cat door

Hi from New York Nicki, after 6 years, you still have one of the best vlogs on TH-cam 🙏
It’s fascinating listening to Carlo’s mum, I never really thought there was a time when children weren’t brainwashed by technology, tv and radio. How lovely. I love there home so bright and welcoming
Beautiful stories. Tell Mama, we are honored to hear them❤
Every week I say, “wow this is the best video yet”. So again I say “best ….yet”. I am 80 and I know exactly what your mother is saying about a simpler life. When I am with my great grandchildren I do things with them “the old school way” and tell them stories when I was their age. Maybe they will remember, I can only hope.
Nicki and Carlo, I love when you interview the older generations (Carlo's parents and Nicki's dad, or even just the older townspeople) and we can hear their stories. It's a really special part of your channel!
Nicki, I always find myself wanting to say you probably have no idea how positively you affect thousands and thousands and thousands of people around the world. It's not just about travel and Positano, it's you and Carlo and what you've built for yourselves. I know that when I watch it just gives me hope for a better life. I know your life isn't perfect but it's pretty darn beautiful and you reflect to us what's possible. It's just extraordinarily uplifting and I just want to say how very much I appreciate it. 💗
On a different note I'm sure you've addressed this but I missed it what happened to Itty Bitty Kitty's eyes? Only a few years ago they were normal and now she appears to have severe cataracts and I'm just wonderin has she been taken to the vet, what did the vet say... sorry to be nosy but for the animal lovers I'm sure many others are wondering too
I would guess that cataract surgery on a cat would be extremely expensive.
Yes. I was wondering too.
I agree with you... I realized the same too and I love pets! I hope it's nothing serious
It s a privilege to see papa e mama and their lives .. bella casa e i fiori. Te recomando...auguri... that s the end of my broken Italian..from childhood around Napoli e Baia Domizia. Agree totally with what they say ..
Thank you to Carlos parents for sharing an insight to life in Positano when they were young. The front door and area is lovely!
Holly's little face on the bus just made my day.
It was stunning. Made my heart melt.
Isn't she the cutest?.... I love her.. 🐶🐶🙏❤️
Those beautiful brown eyes!
Carlo’s mother is so pretty. She is in her 80’s (85?). Carlo gets his good looks from her. 😊
Dear Nicki and Carlo! I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your effort and passion in making these videos. I've had a rough couple of weeks both mentally and physically, and watching you really helps take my mind off of things. I have followed your channel för aprox. 2 years now and I still have a couple of hundred old videos to go back to which I'm so grateful for. You have become like old friends that I look forward to hearing from each sunday. Wishing you a great start on the new week. Lots of love /Karin from Sweden
I hope this finds you feeling better!
Sending good wishes to you Karin 🤗🌻
Take care.🌸
I must say, I love the way Holly meanders through crowds and waits for some petting, she is so adorable
What a nice video from beginning to end. Indie squeezing herself in through the doggie door! Family - sitting around the kitchen table eating and sharing stories of times past. Does is get any better than that? NO. I used to think that being able to sit there and talk with your kids as adults was the best part of being a parent but it goes beyond that to the next generation. The wise old elders who have the history, the stories, the memories. The best of life! Thanks for sharing your lives and famiglia, have a great week!
Your parents are lovely 🌹
Mama must have been a beautiful girl.
Still is beautiful.
Papa is a wonderful Cook.
Everything looked delicious 😋
All people could write book of their lives.
Your parents look well off .
The house totally in order and even the pasta perfectly stored.
Does Papa have a pension. ???
What was his Job ?
How did he make. Living for his family?
They are wonderful.
I wish them many More blessed years
Together. ❤😮❤
It's amazing how much Carlo looks like his mother. All this footage of your elders, including Nicki's dad, what a treasure.
Carlo, your parents are precious. Thank your Mama for the stories from her youth. They're such a gift. Would love to hear more if she's open, and Nicki is willing to translate for us
I like this video a lot mainly because it is about your real life, not touristic things. Thank you very much for sharing.
How adorable Carlo's parents are! It's great to hear their life stories. Positano is also very charming in winter and the fog makes everything so romantic 🤩👏
Interesting to see Positano getting ready for another season. I loved hearing Carlo’s mother talking about the olden days. I’m sure it would be nice not to have all the modern-day distractions and live more simply, but I’ll bet some aspects of that life were pretty difficult especially physically. Thanks again for brightening my Sunday!
Great to hear the stories, we need her to tell more😀. I cannot believe Carlo did not ask the workmen how long the road would take, he talks to everyone 😆
Positano seems to be such a strong community for the locals. Carlo knows everyone! Thank you for sharing your parents with all of us.
Carlo, his mama telling how things were for her as a child when it was so different. Today I sit in my garden and enjoy the bees and butterflies, listen to the birds and think how many generations have done the same. I have so much joy from my garden and more flowers to plant. Happy days to Carlos mother and father. It was lovely to hear. May we have more stories please?
Our family would gather with my grandmother for lunch on Sundays. It was a magical time. We sat around the table for hours, telling and listening to family stories. How I miss those days.
Carlos mom looks so young for being 70 yrs old. What a beautiful smile she has 💜
Laughed so hard watching Indy go through the Cat/Little Dog door! 😆😂
Also, Thank You so much taking us to meet Carlos Mamma and Pappa, I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Boston Massachusetts and one of my favorite things to do was meet all my friends parents or grandparents talk about the old world in Italy, always wanted to visit but life happens. 🙏❤️
Please thank Carlo’s mum and dad. It was a joy to invited in to the family kitchen and hear some memories 🙏🏻💖.
This was a very special video. As I get older I have been thinking more often about my childhood and I think Carlo's Mom nailed it when she said if could go back in time she would because it was happy for her. I think life was not necessarily easier but it was simpler and when you have little, you tend to make your own fun and that brings lots of memories. I was reminiscing with my daughter's Mother-in-Law about things we had that our shared grandchildren will never know and would probably roll their teenage eyes at - if they looked up from their phones long enough. 😊
I'm so sad for my grandchildren - what they are missing and will never know. Also what I've missed and have only read about. Those days are gone, probably forever.
It’s such a pleasure and honor to visit with your parents and hear their stories.
You and your children will be so grateful to have these videos and stories to pass on.
It’s so lovely to see your neighborhood!💕
One can listen to those stories forever!! BTW ,I think Holly is probably the happiest dog ever ...she always have a smile on her face XOXO
Thank you for the lovely vlog! ❤ Carlo's parents are amazing and to see them cooking together is a wonderful sight. 😊
The best bit was Indie going in thru the cat flap. Or is it a Hollie flap! Lovely video as ever a real slice of Positano life! Thank you XXXX
Nice to listen to your parents. I often think of my grandfather. He taught me all I know about farming, animals and growing food. People these days have no idea on such things. Not interested. All they want is things that cost lots of money. Happiness comes from the simple things of life. Thanks for another gentle video.
How lovely to watched two of you meeting friends in town while your dogs were meeting their “friends” at the beach. So natural and so sweet. Loved this movie 🎥 🍿
As Carlos mother said… no TV no radio so no bad news blasted at us all day long every day…
Nicky has a new vlog, it means it's time to grab a glass of wine and enjoy Sunday evening ❤️ Thank you for sharing your life with us, Carlos is so lovely, I am learning Italian at the moment and it's a great practice also from your videos. This summer we will travel to Sardinia with my husband for three weeks, can't wait for it. I love Italy 😊🌺
Sardinia(Sardegna in italian)is one piece of paradise not only for the coasts,even the center of the island offer a ton of gorgeous landscapes,if you'll visit you' ll enjoy for sure!BUONE VACANZE!😁👍
Carlo's mom about how TV has made life not so beautiful more complicated poetically accurate. I think Carlo looks like his mom . I love hearing the real life stories of the older generation. My friend's mom wrote a book for her and her children and grandchildren to read she let me read it as well and it was amazing how her life story illustrated a different way of life she mentions the ice man, the rag man, the knife man that came to one's house we do not have those ... generations do not know what those occupations were
Carlo's parents !! my kind of people 😍😍 No subtitles needed, Carlo I love listening to those stories as well. Thank you
Love hearing the stories about the good old days. They were much better back then. So simple...less violence. Carlos' dad is a great cook. Does he do all of it or only sometimes? Beautiful flowers all over their house.
Carlo's parents are just precious! We really enjoyed his Mama's stories God bless them🙏🏼🤗💕
I am like Carlo watching the crane dismantle (and I am a girl)! I love how wholesome and diverse your videos are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being this way
I love Carlo's parent's stories! Please share more if they are willing. Once the elevator is fixed, how many more steps will you need to go to get to your house?
I was going to ask them that too- is it going to be accessible for them to cut back the number of steps for them to get to town? Hope so- I’d be done in only after the first 5 steps. Oh my!!
So wonderful to see all of you as a family cooking and reminiscing about life!
Ciao Nicki Carlo mama and papa!❤️
Glad the crane is coming down…that really was bothering Carlo’s view. Lol. Happy to see his parents and hear their stories and watch them cook what seems like delicious meals. Delightful! The area outside the kitchen looks great and love the color of the door and how you decorated that cabinet and wall. Beautiful and very welcoming.
Another awesome video! The patio turned out absolutely gorgeous! Carlo is quite the cinematographer with the drone. Someone tell me why it was so comforting to see Nikki hanging the laundry, maybe it brought back memories of my mother doing so when I was a little girl. I could sit here for days and listen to stories from your parents. You have to work on Papa, the most shy usually have the best stories and just need a little nudging. Tell them both thank you for sharing what they did. Their part in today's video made my day.
Thanks for taking US to Carlo's parents house. The food made me hungry! Yes, the old days were better.
Children behaved, things more natural
I love this family culture and how friendly the community is.🙂😁🤩
I just received your recipe book as a gift from my sister! ❤ What an incredibly beautiful book… from the pictures to the stories to the recipes, the way you bound the book so perfectly etc, it’s just a work of art. I know it took so much out of you to do that but I want you to know that every effort you made was so worth it because it just gives so much happiness. Words cannot even come close to describing it. Thank you for all your hard work, the beautiful composition, heart and passion you put into it. Like every perfect story, the ending was the best part when you talked about that special time you had with Carlo in the very beginning of it all.❤
Dearest Nicki,
Know that you are a source of strength to many.
My 93 year old Father watched you both.
I'm hoping it will spur him on to fully live out this spring and summer.
We have a dear sweet girl.marrying in May.
I tell him
"Daddy, it would be so TACKY to hang it up before Bianca's wedding.
Just keep eating a bit, and drinking.
We have the winery open, live music starts in May...
Tickets to the theater
You must be there.
Not In a coma.
Please.
We all est things daily, not for taste, for nourishment.
So,
Down the hatch!"
You both have given much energy to many of us, with your integrity, your kids be for people, your tender care for your animals.
Bless you Always.
" a BUTTERFLY... it was all WONDERFUL."
Beautiful.🧚♀️
Carlo your mom was glowing with happy memories. Thank you for allowing us to come along. Nicki your entryway makes you happy and that is what is most important. And it is lovely. Can’t go wrong with any shade of blue in your beautiful setting. The table runner from Elizabeth and the art from her girls work perfectly. Your entryway is full of stories.
Massive Gratitude to Carlos parents for sharing their stories and a peek into what life is like currently and in their past! It’s a true treat and I’ll treasure the stories always! ❤ I always love hearing my parents, grandparents, & others stories ! ❤❤ Everyone’s history is so important and a treasure when they share! 😊😊😊
You literally live in the clouds , especially on such a misty day , very romantic , but hard work with all those steps . The doggies seem such good friends now , bless little Holly she might be getting older but it doesn’t stop her keeping up with Indy
Carlo, my dad was the same, he lived watching machinery and men working their jobs. Thank you for bringing back that memory for me.
Carlo has his Mama's eyes. Lovely to see Carlo's parents and have a chat. No bad thoughts back then, no tv no radio......just pleasant. I'd go back too. xx
Enjoyed the stories from Carlo’s mother. Your home is is like a fairytale cottage. Looking forward to seeing your flowers and garden. Enjoy your day!
I so loved listening to Carlo’s mom talk about the old days! Wonderful memories.
Oooh! More stories from your mama and papa please!, true historians of the area! Also recipes from Carlos parents would be amazing!!❤
WOW!!! My most sincere admiration for your n laws Nikie. They look so healthy and so full of energy. Blessings to all of you. 🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻
I never tire of seeing Positano as local residents live.. no tourists. It is gorgeous! Carlo's family are beautiful people. Thank you for showing more of the steps you climb daily to get to the road. It makes us appreciate what you go through. Love love the newly painted door and cabinet. I thought the cabinet was covered in tiles. Thank you again Nicki and Carlo for all the work you put into making these videos. Hugs to you both!
What a nice moment in time watching this. Very much enjoyed your visit with Carlo's parents and to see Positano "waking " up from winter
Love listening to Carlos mom and Dad. They make me miss my Noni and Papa from Sicily. Every Sunday a big dinner!
Loved this video, showing off season activity in Positano. Us tourists always carry away our impressions of a place, where we usually visit when it's full season. And to see how local life continues when things slow down is lovely. And getting older people to talk about their experiences in the past is wonderful, which can be passed down to future generations is so thoughtful. One day Skye can show them to her own children and grandchildren, not just as hearsay but as visual material. Have a good week!🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
I simply cannot imagine my Sunday evenings without your videos.
With love, from snowy Sweden!
I love the liberal pasta stock!!I would expect no less from an Italian!Parents are adorable.Holly and Indie make me laugh every time...they have such a love of life..very cute.
I continue to be thankful, appreciative and grateful that I get to see Positano through your eyes. Thank you.❤
So fun to see things going on again in Positano. Little Holly is so sweet sitting on the bus so well behaved!
Carlo’s mom sounds just like my Grandma Anna Esposito from Naples did when I was a child. I never could understand a word she spoke but I just hugged her and listened to her speak while she cooked the sausage and meatballs.🙏🏽🍷💜
FINALLY! Carlo's parents! And they are as charming as he is.
Carlo's parents are such lovely people. That food looked spectacular! I am going to go get some pasta now! Your video's always make my Sundays brighter. Thank you! Love from Miami ❤️🌞
the wisdom of the old folks.... I love to just sit and listen to the talk and tell of the old days. Thank you for sharing your family with us Carlo. It was lovely.
Wonderful stories by Carlo's mother! Thank you for sharing them.
So nice to see your parents, see your lovely meal with them and to hear the stories. Please thank them for welcoming us into their home.
So lovely to see your parents and their home and hear the stories of a simpler time. You are lucky to still have them .
Lovely episode!! I knew it would be the minute Carlo said he was going to try an interview his parents...it made this episode just a little more special and I'm grateful they accommodated us 🙏
Your parents are absolute treasures, Carlo! You have mama’s eyes ❤. Thank them for sharing their home, cooking recipes and stories with us. It was delightful!
The time spent with your parents was wonderful and her stories were great! Those were the days!!!!! I hate when your videos end, wish they were an hour long! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Che bello verdere rinascere Positano. Sentire le storie di prima di nostri genitori o nonni e sempre bello. Il dialetto Napolitano mi piace tanto.Anche a casa nostra parliamo il Napoletano.Anche nostre figlie lo parlanno ma i nostri nipoti non vogliono imparare l'italiano. Una cosa buona che stanno faccendo l'ascensore. Salsicce e friarieli piaciono tanto a mio marito. Buona serata dal Belgio.
Carlo's mama is beautiful. His parents are wonderful to visit. Thank you.
Documenting the history of Positano is so important - and well appreciated. Thank you Nikki.
Indie chasing the bird on the beach 😂...So nice to hear Carlo's parents sharing some history of their younger days, thanks a lot I could listen continuously 🥰😊🙏🏽
Carlo - you are so lucky to have your parents - please give them a hug from me,.
You should do it more often. Record the older generations memories of their childhood. My brothers and I regretted not doing so with our mom while she was alive. Thanks for sharing memories of days gone by.
I loved hearing your Mom and Dad tell about their life. I loved watching her cook. It’s sad how developing as a country, we’re loosing the best of life.
Accidenti che bravo cuoco tuo papà, Carlo! 👏 Cmq la credenza con la pasta mi ricorda quella di mio papà che aveva due mila pacchi di pasta... non sia mai che rimanesse senza! 😅
Carlos parents are lovely. His dad making lunch was so very kind. The dogs behaved well there. I had to laugh at the end when indy snuck through the cat door, barely making it through!
Love when you talked to Carlo’s parents. Reminds me of my grandparents. I miss them. My grandpa used to cook too!
sweet memories for Carlo's mamma and pappa. Before we had all thiese other influences in our lives!
Loved the interview with Carlo's mom, talking about a simpler time in their life's. Also, the lunch looked absolutely delicious! I know you're not crazy about the fog but it looks very cool against the scenery of Positiano. The new paint on the front door & cabinet turned out really nice. Have a good week. Ciao
Carlo can you please give your mumma and puppa a big hug from a girl in Australia who also wants to go back to the days of dreaming out while the goats graze, what beautiful people, no wonder you are such a kind gem and you as well Nikki, thank you for sharing 💝
Carlo how lovely your parents are to share their stories with us.
Another lovely video. What a blessing to still have your parents to listen and learn from.
I spent lots of time asking my grandparents about their past and it was amazing...some disturbing (like their sex life) but mostly amazing!
What a beautiful treat to hear Carlo’s mom’s stories. Such a lovely lady; what we all would not give to go back in time to the freedoms she describes. Thank you for sharing.
Nicki, 5 stars on this one too!!! Seriously. Carlo's mama is a gem and speaks such truths. I loved this one, even the view from your bus ride! The blue you chose for that cabinet is a fantastic accent to your updated wall! GREAT advertisement for De Cecco Nonno! 😘 ❤ 🤗 🌻
I love it when you interview the elders, they are so precious.❤
Dear nicky thank you lovely to hear story from carlos parents it brings lovely memory for me of family
it's crazy how much carlo looks like his mother and how much skye looks like carlo :)
Bravo. Carlo's parents are so sweet. Loved hearing Carlo's Mom talk about the old days.
Thanks, Daniel
Carlo looks so much like his Momma❣️
what a beautiful woman Carlos's mother is. Such nice stories too.
