Vera Leykina I completely agree! English speakers tend to think other counties are obligated to know and use English - I disagree! It’s good to have a working grasp of as many languages as possible! I did Italian GCSE and I wish I’d stuck with it
@@Eyeswide39Open Exactly . It’s rude for us English speakers to expect people from other countries to speak English. It’s lovely hearing people speak different languages. It would be boring if everyone on earth spoke the one language only.
I agree! I'm actually learning Italian and love that Carlo speaks it and I could understand (for the most part) without the help of subtitles. And I'm learning because I had a trip to Italy planned for Nov.2020 (didn't happen, of course) and wanted to know at least some of the language of the place I'm visiting.
Carlos you showing your awesome work ethic, manual labour, incredible for this day and age, actual fruits of your labours, you both have a good balance for your relationship
Same , I could listen to Carlo all day. That’s why your channel is so popular. So real, so genuine. And I love how as a couple you help each other with the two languages.
Yes, and if you miss subtitling his background comments, DON'T worry! We'll all just imagine what sweet things he is saying to you! I've been sharing your vlog with all of my friends. You're the BEST!
Well done Carlo for speaking in English , I thought you did very well a lot better than my Italian . Happy New Year to you all. Steve from England 🏴
Poor Carlo! Leave him be. He is Italian, living in his home country, therefore, he speaks Italian. Fun video and I must say, it IS charming when he speaks English. Happy New Year.
I am 78, live in Oklahoma, USA and am Italian in my heart, but not in my heritage. Love everything Italian especially the language. If I could live my life over that is where I would be. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life, land and family with all your subscribers.
And I am half Italian but never lived in Italy. I am originally from Switzerland but 25 years Californian. I never felt Italian but I love the country and the culture. And the food... of course
@@anna_m59 I moved from New York to Southern California, lived there 35 years. It is the closest I could get to the Mediterranean climate in the US. Loved California when I lived there. I went to Italy in 2009, it was on my bucket list, beautiful trip.
I live in Oklahoma as well. I never even thought about going to Italy until I started watching her videos. There isn't even one place in Oklahoma that even comes to close to being as beautiful as where she lives.
Another Oklahoman here checking in from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma USA! How funny. Originally from Upstate NY , Oklahoman for the past 20 years. I recently discovered the Nicky Positano channel and I am really enjoying it. I wanted to say in the United States G.O.A.T. means "The Greatest Of All Time"!!! People often say, "he's the GOAT" when referring to the best quarterback or boxer, etc.
That question & answer segment was hilarious. I love how Holly slept through the entire thing. 😅 Carlo, please continue to speak Italian. It helps me because I am trying to learn the language. Also, G.O.A.T. stands for Greatest Of All Time. 😉
I’m learning Italian now and actually love hearing Carlo speaking in Italian ❤️ It’s a great mix of seeing beautiful Positano through your eyes, hearing Nicki speaking in English and Carlo in italian. It’s perfect!!! I love your channel 🥰🇮🇹❤️
Carlo - who cares what you choose to speak in. You are genuine and and it’s a privilege your family provides us to be able see the amazing lifestyle Positano has to offer. You be you! Thank you.
There’s nothing cuter than Carlo speaking English. “Because I am a goat” 😂 Italian is beautiful, i’d trade my English for it, any day! Carlo, you don’t know how happy it makes me when I hear “hello everywhere!”
Love watching your videos. No questions to ask!!! But would just looove some history of Positano from Carlo's family's perspective. An interview with Carlo and his parents??.. what was it like to go to school there?.. life in the past.. memories... Realize there will need to be lots of subtitles tho!! Love how unpretentious and genuine your lifestyle is. Just beauty, kindness and a great love of life. Thank you!!! May it never get to the stage when it becomes a burden to share.
Hi Lynn I'm Carlo, Thanks a lot for the comment, Yes sure, we have already programmed it, we are just looking for the right people, with the right stories, someone has problems with appearing on video.
@LYNN, Great suggestion! Nicki and Carlo are the most transparent and authentic on any TH-cam channel and that's one of the qualities that I adore. I just wish for others to view their vlogs, so they too can also witness how well they are produced, the high quality of content and how endearing they are as a family. My greatest desire is to see the number of subscribers escalate and triple or quadruple in numbers. Wouldn't that be outstanding? 🥰 🌹Happy, healthy 2021 to you Lynn and for your loved ones. xx
So appreciate the reply and responses. Thank you. And I totally understand that some people prefer not to appear on camera. Maybe there is a Book#2 in this for Nicky. 🧡🌷🌷
I know it is a lot of work for you to add subtitles when Carlo speaks Italian, but i LOVE to hear the italian language in your videos!! They are definitely part of the reason I love your videos so much! I think a lot of us who are learning Italian or know some Italian love to hear the language!
I for one enjoy listening to Carlo speaking in Italian. This is his first language and comes easiest to respond. Thank you for not only sharing the city with us, but also your family.
Actually I think somebody else said it as well I love hearing Carlo speak Italian and I love the subtitles! Thank you Nicki for the hard work I do appreciate it!
Hearing Carlo speak helps me learn Italian. I like learning from your conversations. Those waves were impressive and powerful. So humbling. Holly-Poo was a good sport about the visiting puppy. The sheep's cheese looks amazing, I love how you and your neighbors share what you make and use what is available to you.
Holly was working hard on her sleeping during the whole question and answer session- too cute. I like hearing Carlo or Luca speak Italian, and I enjoy hearing you, Nicki use Italian and then tell us, the viewers what's going on. The opening of your video with the beach shots and music- really nice.
I’ve been trying to learn Italian for a few years. I enjoy the conversations because I can piece conversations together. I’m nowhere near fluent, so listening to everyone helps. Thank you.
“It died a natural chicken death” I love that. Love all your videos . I can’t stop recommending your channel enough. ❤️❤️❤️this was such a fun video to watch
I speak Italian, so I like when Carlo speaks Italian, I can teach my son, who loves watching you, guys, a few words in Italian!!! Grazie, Carlo, sei bravo!
The family chat was so great. It looks like the majority of your followers like the Italian/English mix. Win! Skye’s English is so beautiful and lyrical. I also enjoy seeing how Carlo makes things around the house and garden. He sure is handy!
The ocean is so mesmerizing. I could watch the waves come in for hours, crashing on the sand with the sunshine hitting the spray. So beautiful... thank you for such a beautiful video. Stunning
Aww I watch Dan and Annalise, that took me by surprise when Dan popped up towards the end of you vlog. But then I remembered you like the Chateau Diaries. Xxx
Carlo is adorable and very smart because he can build just about anything! I love this family, you are so relaxed and know how to appreciate life. Thanks for the videos, if I never make it there I will continue to see the Amalfi coast through your videos!
We live about 3 hours south of the Amalfi coast in the little medieval village of Sermoneta in an old stone house and to keep us warm and cosy in the winter we have the same heating system as you - a pellet burner or wood burner. Prior to that, we only had the original open fire - very romantic but no good for keeping away the chills and dampness of the mediterranean winter. With the pellet burner it's now as warm as toast!! Love the videos.
I’m of Italian descent living in Canada and presently visiting in England and Nicki I really admire the way you have integrated into the Italian culture which is soooo different from the British one lol ... I know the fact that you have been there for many years has helped and it s probably still a work in progress .... i believe this is one of the reasons you appeal to us so much because you are open, accepting and kind :)) I m certain Carlo is proud and grateful for this 🙂
I also love hearing Carlo speak Italian. My father was born in Sicily but when he came to America, he did not speak Italian except to the older relatives who also spoke Italian. As the youngest of 8 children, by the time I was born, most of the older Italian speaking family members were deceased so there was little opportunity of hearing Italian at home. I learned Italian in school 50 years ago but never had anyone to speak it with. So listening to Carlo is an education for me as I can recognize some of what he is saying and also learn new words.
My father was born in Sicily, came to America when he was 10. Trying to learn Italian, 1 word a day, I am not very good. I think my memory has gone off somewhere but I keep trying, it's such a beautiful language.
Yes! Carlo should continue to speak Italian. That’s part of the charm of your show! I love hearing Italian & reading the subtitles since I’ve been trying to learn Italian & don’t have many opportunities to hear Italian-especially now that we can’t travel!
At the risk of saying too many things on this precious channel I just want to say watching the interaction between all of you in English and Italian with the subtitles is fascinating because I get to see the construction of the language, how elegant it is! Many Italian words are close to English words, and I love seeing that and hearing it. I adore this juxtaposition of English speaking culture and the wonderful Italian Positano culture. For example, it's a common misconception that if someone doesn't understand what you're saying they are stupid. when you see how elegant, subtle and eloquent another language is, you see how intelligent they are, and your cultural bias takes a beating, which is a good thing :-)
I love that Carlo speaks Italian! Thanks for the sub-titles Nicki.Loved the question/answer with sleeping Holly. It's a gift for us that you share your amazing life in Positano.And Lucca's garden makes me swoon!
I adore Carlo and others in the videos speaking Italian. On a side note I've been binge watching your channel for the past few days every chance I get. I appreciate all your hard work Nikki. ❤️
Love Carlo speaking Italian..as he should because your videos about his home in Positano, Italy. That’s what makes your videos so genuine and appealing. Love them🌸💕
Very comical vlog. Carlo stole the show with his english. Thank you for translating for us. And I love to hear him speak italian. That puppy was so cute and Holly got a bit jealous😂 Skye and Nicola look so happy together. Hope she can stay longer in Positano. England is a mess with lockdown. Stay warm and safe. The winter sea is very strong. Love the beach scenes. Ciao
Hello dear Nicki, Carlo, Sky, Nicola, it is so nice to see all of you answering question of your followers, but is also nice to hear Carlo answering questions in Italian, it is natural for him, since it is his first language, but he also understands English because his wife Nicky is English speaking, so it’s cute to hear him trying sometimes to speak English, I am sure everybody understand all of you, and that makes this channel so original! All of you are a wonderful family that shows us how beautiful is Positano, and also your way of living, which most of us would love to have. Positano for me looks like a piece of Paradise. Thank you very much for sharing it with all of us. God bless you! 🌺🌺🌸🌺🐶🐓🐈🐑🌳🌊🌤❄️💟
"Puoi conoscere il cuore di un uomo giá dal modo in cui egli tratta gli animali" ... that applies to your family, it is beautiful to see the love you have for your pets and how those values were passed on to Skye. ♥️👍🐶🐈🐓
Nicki, I love how positive you are. It is so infectious, I discovered you late but loving watching your videos. I am loving everyone in your family as well. Thank you for continuing to share your life with us. 💞💐
Carlo, from the state of Alabama in the US, I LOVE your English and Italian! Do not be shy! :) Thank you, Nicki and family, for sharing Positano with us.
I just love watching this beautiful family...my ex-husband is Italian and our plan was for the children to learn Italian 😔didn’t quiet work out as planned. It is such a beautiful language..Carlos you speak in what ever your most comfortable..it’s your natural language. Gorgeous country.Thank you all for sharing your lives. Dark rainy day here in Connecticut,U.S.A.🇺🇸
I enjoy listening to Carlo speak Italian. Of course, he should speak the language he feels more comfortable and fluent. I appreciate the subtitles, Nicki.
Love seeing your family together answering these questions & giving us a glimpse of your personalities & interactions. Carlo’s Italian adds so much to the videos. I feel as if I have new friends, & I’m spending lots of time during this pandemic just watching your videos. Visiting Positano is now on my “bucket list.”
Carlo, isn’t required to speak English. In fact, when he does speak Italian, it gives us the opportunity to learn the language. While the subtitles are hard for the editing, it does add old world charm to the vlog.
Thank you for this great q and a video. Carlo, DON'T EVER CHANGE! I love the Italian and the way you speak is wonderful. It was nice to see. I agree, you don't need to answer personal questions. You show a part of your life, not all of it. Keep private things private. Happy New Year to you and your family.
I randomly came across your channel a couple of weeks before Christmas and am so glad that I did! Yourself, family, friends and animals are all an absolute joy to watch and are so natural in front of the camera. It's very interesting to see the beautiful and scenic places nearby and your daily life. I am an avid gardener and am not ashamed to say that I have gone back to the very start of your videos, have binged watched over the holiday season and have been very much inspired by the diamond garden pathways, veg set-ups, wall flowers and particularly the use of Dichondra Repens (seed order on it's way to me for spring!). I hope you never get comments which make you feel that your lives are being intruded upon, as I think that many are watching (particularly from the UK) as an escape in these lockdown periods and it is wonderful to see a family so well focused on just getting on with life in cheer, and not moaning. Your relationships with neighbours with a rooted sense of giving and sharing is lovely and I think the UK is seeing a change with this also due to the lockdowns. Sincere wishes of good health and happiness to you all for the new year, congratulations on all the new subscribers recently (well deserved), and please do continue with the hard work on your videos, the vids and you are an absolute breath of fresh air Nicki. Best wishes, Anna.
Nicki: if you have any more questions, don’t ask!! 😂🤭 Yeah you’re right, please only share what you want to share, what makes you happy and comfortable.
We just retired and built a small home, I was depressed about it and by accident I found you guys on TH-cam. Just watching how you manage tiny spaces, how you grow beauty and color in every inch of space you have amazed us and now I'm feeling blessed instead of depressed!! You have changed my point of view completely, I truly love you guys. The pets, the garden, your community and so on is very Fun. I strive to accomplish same and will never be upset about small space no longer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, truly.
This was a really relaxed video with you all at home .Delighted they have banned drones. Privacy is so important to everyone.Carlo is so sweet keep speaking only Italian we love it .We can hear English all day here plus it’s a beautiful language to hear .Love to you all from London xx
Wow Nicki! I’ve been binge watching your videos this week-end and enjoying every minute. My husband and I have been to Positano a few year ago and turned out being my best trip ever! Now watching you and your charming Carlos living in Positano every day with it’s beauty and challenges makes it even more interesting. Yet very demanding, I find that you’re way of living is so much healthier than most people around the world. Congrats on the beautiful garden and life you’ve created 💗
You guys are so authentic and nice! Started watching your videos a few days ago and i love how you show the Positano life without huge stupid advertisings of huge companies but instead promote your friends and local small business if you like them. Keep it up! I subscribed! Happy new year! Stay healthy and hang in there.
@DunklesBlau, Well said! It's great to know you discovered this TH-cam channel and you are enjoying it. You'll be delighted viewing all of the older vlogs on *Positano Diaries.* May I suggest you click on the *LIKE* and more importantly the 🔔 *SUBSCRIBE* It does not cost you anything but it's the only way we can help Nicki (the benefits come from TH-cam). 🌹May you and yours have a happy and healthy 2021. xxx
The sea waves sequence at the start of this video was great to see. Thanks for sharing again. I'm sure that anyone who is a real fan of yours Nicki totally respects your right to not answer intrusive questions. Great to see some of your lives in beautiful Positano.
You and Carlos remind me so much of my parents. My mother was British and father Portuguese. My Father was always puttering in the garden and around the house. He could do anything. Unfortunately I lost them both relatively young and these videos make me so nostalgic for them. We still keep the home my father grew up in in the Azores, so much natural beauty as well. Your videos make me miss Europe even more, but I love them. I can’t wait until we can travel again!
This was so fun! My children (I have 7) and I have enjoyed watching your videos. The view are breathtaking and so very different from where we live but life is so much the same. Food. Family. Fun. Just love it all so much. Thanks for sharing. ~Janelle in northern NY
Congratulations! That was lovely and hilarious! I really admire Carlo and Nicola using their English! As a teacher, I know many people prefer just to keep quiet so as not to make mistakes. Happy New Year to you all!
Love watching your family interact! You can see so much love! Look forward to your videos, you do the best job of explaining everything and I love hearing Carlos talk in Italian! Best, from Oregon USA
I know how you feel Carlo when you say your shy to speak English I feel the same way when I speak Italian. My husband was Italian {[Abruzzo] and I would only speak to him in Italian because I did not always get it right. But since he died in 2005 I have not really used it but I am very surprised I still understand it when you speak Italian. I am really enjoying your videos and remember our last trip to Italy when we visited Naples Sorrento and Capri.
I watch your delightful channel because you are all fun, and I also feel like I’m taking a little holiday in these trying times! I am always flabbergasted when other readers feel they have a right to challenge what you do! You continue doing what you do in your way! I love hearing Carlos speak his language! And enjoy hearing him try speaking English when ever he wants! Carry on and keep producing your enjoyable videos! Happy New Year!
I enjoy hearing Carlo, and you, Niki, as well as Sky and other people, speak Italian in your videos. I also like hearing Carlo and Nicola speak English as well. Actually, they are very brave to speak a foreign language on camera, particularly English, as it is a difficult language to learn to speak. Thank you to all of you for sharing yourselves, Positano, Italy and Holly with us. Thanks for introducing us to "Not My Puppy". He is such a cutie. Best Wishes for the New Year from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Good job speaking English, Nicolo! Carlo - for some reason, I immediately understood your goat reference (though I also sometimes think you're a god as well for all the stuff you can build)!
Another fun video. Just want to say thanks for taking time to put in subtitles when Carlo speaks because I thoroughly enjoy hearing (reading) what he has to say. It is definitely a huge part of your channel and enjoyment of escaping to Positano Italy. ♥️♥️ thank you.
Love hearing the Italian. It's such a beautiful expressive language. Thank you Nicki for the subtitles though. Your videos are wonderful. Lighthearted, informative and beautifully filmed.
You have the most adorable family. Wish we came across your vlogs earlier when we were in Positano in October. It’s beautiful to see the town off season, so calm and peaceful.
As both of my Italian parents have now passed away, and with no other Italian family here in Australia, (all in Calabria) , I have no one to converse with in Italian. Listening to Carlo and others speaking Italian on your videos helps me to retain my Italian language. Please don't stop!!!!
Hi Nikki, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. My wife and I spent 5 nights in Positano 2 years ago and fell in love with your city. Every video brings back beautiful and romantic memories of our time in Positano. As for me, I believe most people enjoy listening to Carlo and others speak Italian. It's a beautiful language and the subtitles (though painful for you...) allow us to learn a bit of the language as there are many similar words to Latin and Spanish. You have a lovely family and we are blessed to be a part of it.
My daughter and I recently discovered you. She's a landscape architect and I'm an avid gardner. So we are both fascinated by your lifestyle. I love everything you have posted. Gardens, cooking, scenery, love it all. You have a beautiful family and friends I wish you many, many new subscribers in the new year.
I like that he’s speak italian and I could learn some, cause My first language is Spanish , and sometimes I could understand some things he said . I like the mix you have there 💕
For you, learning Italian would be a cinch. Same when a German person learns Dutch. Sister languages are very often the easiest to grasp, especially in adulthood.
That was lovely! Also, I love listening to everyone speak Italian as it helps me keep up my Italian. Thank you for sharing your life with us. After spending many holidays in Positano, it really helps me understand how the elderly manage the steps (they are so fit!) and the availability of urgent healthcare for those in need. I am a little surprised that seasonal workers don’t all have secondary seasonal jobs. How do they support themselves and their families all year with only seasonal work? Can’t wait to return one day!
I like that Carlo speaks Italian, it’s nice to hear!
And I understand his English just fine.
You are in Italy! Great to hear what ever is spoken when, it is natural. If and when he happens to speak English, no problem understanding.
Carlo is great guy. Love hearing him speak Italian (with such flair). It's who he is and molds his personality.
I agree
He said he name was Carlos, with a S
Carlos, please do not be apologetic for speaking Italian. We love hearing you speak Italian
It is nice that you speak Italian, do not apologize , it is your home. Very wonderful!
We should learn Italian, Carlo is not obligated to learn English! Be yourselves, guys, you are a breath of fresh air

I love hearing them speak Italian a lot of it is similar To spanish
I love listening to Carlo speak Italian. He is so adorable, charming and funny. Love his sense of humor. Thanks for sharing your life with us
I like to hear him speaking Italian. Whatever makes him feel more comfortable to be himself.
I love Carlo speaking Italian and you adding the translation! Helps me with my Italian!!!
Scusi Carlos with an s😂
Carlos you showing your awesome work ethic, manual labour, incredible for this day and age, actual fruits of your labours, you both have a good balance for your relationship

Me too it is such a beautiful language
Well done Carlo for speaking in English , I thought you did very well a lot better than my Italian . Happy New Year to you all. Steve from England 🏴
He's the cutest
Poor Carlo! Leave him be. He is Italian, living in his home country, therefore, he speaks Italian. Fun video and I must say, it IS charming when he speaks English. Happy New Year.
You do not have to reply to invasive questions... people can be rude with their questions. Thank you for sharing Positano with us.
I agree.
I vote for a "learn Italian" segment with Carlo.
I am 78, live in Oklahoma, USA and am Italian in my heart, but not in my heritage. Love everything Italian especially the language. If I could live my life over that is where I would be. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life, land and family with all your subscribers.

I love hearing Italian being spoken. It’s such a musical language .

I thought he was saying he’s an “adult” and that’s why he has hard time speaking English. But “goat” is absolutely perfect!
I’m learning Italian now and actually love hearing Carlo speaking in Italian ❤️
It’s a great mix of seeing beautiful Positano through your eyes, hearing Nicki speaking in English and Carlo in italian. It’s perfect!!! I love your channel 🥰🇮🇹❤️
Please don’t make Carlo stop speaking in Italian. I love it! I love ALL your videos. Thank you!

Hi, Albus, I'm Carlo, thank you!
I love how you and your neighbors share what comes from the garden and whatever you make from your kitchens.
I think Carlo has a great personality. You compliment each other beautifully. I adore these videos.

Carlo is charming. The Italian language is beautiful. The language of romance!
I love to hear everyone speaking Italian! It is the most beautiful language. I’m trying to pick up words listening to you all speak. 🤗
Pissing myself laughing about the goat..!! Carlo is just so cool!
I for one enjoy listening to Carlo speaking in Italian. This is his first language and comes easiest to respond. Thank you for not only sharing the city with us, but also your family.
Yes we loved Carlos Italiano he not needed speak english perfectly because he lives in Italy and he is 100% Italian men good job Carlo 🏆🌞👌👌👌
Kudos to Carlo!!!! Love hearing him speak Italian and for being true to his roots/himself!
Actually I think somebody else said it as well I love hearing Carlo speak Italian and I love the subtitles! Thank you Nicki for the hard work I do appreciate it!
Hi, I'm Carlo, Thank You!
Hearing Carlo speak helps me learn Italian. I like learning from your conversations. Those waves were impressive and powerful. So humbling. Holly-Poo was a good sport about the visiting puppy. The sheep's cheese looks amazing, I love how you and your neighbors share what you make and use what is available to you.
Carlo’s English isn’t bad at all bless him! Best wishes to you all happy new year
Carlo should speak what he wants, I personally like to hear him speak Italian ! Just want to say what a beautiful family you all are!
Holly was working hard on her sleeping during the whole question and answer session- too cute. I like hearing Carlo or Luca speak Italian, and I enjoy hearing you, Nicki use Italian and then tell us, the viewers what's going on.

Carlo is quite charming whether he speaks Italian or English. What a great couple ❤️🇺🇸
I love when carlo speaks Italian. Its a beautiful language.
“It died a natural chicken death” I love that. Love all your videos . I can’t stop recommending your channel enough. ❤️❤️❤️this was such a fun video to watch
i could not find the episode that announces the discovery of the chickie that died ..... does anyone know which episode that is please?
OMG that was pretty neat adding Escape to rural France, I already watch them too. I don't know why but it made me so happy!
I speak Italian, so I like when Carlo speaks Italian, I can teach my son, who loves watching you, guys, a few words in Italian!!! Grazie, Carlo, sei bravo!

How wonderfully generous of you to introduce Dan, Annalise and Jack & Thomas to all your viewers. Happy New Year Nicki, Carlo, Skye & Nicola. 🌹🍕
We live about 3 hours south of the Amalfi coast in the little medieval village of Sermoneta in an old stone house and to keep us warm and cosy in the winter we have the same heating system as you - a pellet burner or wood burner. Prior to that, we only had the original open fire - very romantic but no good for keeping away the chills and dampness of the mediterranean winter. With the pellet burner it's now as warm as toast!! Love the videos.
I love hearing Carlo speak in Italian, and his English is quite good! He's charming and funny!
Hi, I'm Carlo, Thank You Diana!
His English is better than my Italian....so no complaints here
I’m of Italian descent living in Canada and presently visiting in England and Nicki I really admire the way you have integrated into the Italian culture which is soooo different from the British one lol ... I know the fact that you have been there for many years has helped and it s probably still a work in progress .... i believe this is one of the reasons you appeal to us so much because you are open, accepting and kind :))
I m certain Carlo is proud and grateful for this 🙂
I also love hearing Carlo speak Italian. My father was born in Sicily but when he came to America, he did not speak Italian except to the older relatives who also spoke Italian. As the youngest of 8 children, by the time I was born, most of the older Italian speaking family members were deceased so there was little opportunity of hearing Italian at home. I learned Italian in school 50 years ago but never had anyone to speak it with. So listening to Carlo is an education for me as I can recognize some of what he is saying and also learn new words.
My father was born in Sicily, came to America when he was 10. Trying to learn Italian, 1 word a day, I am not very good. I think my memory has gone off somewhere but I keep trying, it's such a beautiful language.
Yes! Carlo should continue to speak Italian. That’s part of the charm of your show! I love hearing Italian & reading the subtitles since I’ve been trying to learn Italian & don’t have many opportunities to hear Italian-especially now that we can’t travel!
At the risk of saying too many things on this precious channel I just want to say watching the interaction between all of you in English and Italian with the subtitles is fascinating because I get to see the construction of the language, how elegant it is! Many Italian words are close to English words, and I love seeing that and hearing it. I adore this juxtaposition of English speaking culture and the wonderful Italian Positano culture. For example, it's a common misconception that if someone doesn't understand what you're saying they are stupid. when you see how elegant, subtle and eloquent another language is, you see how intelligent they are, and your cultural bias takes a beating, which is a good thing :-)
I love that Carlo speaks Italian! Thanks for the sub-titles Nicki.Loved the question/answer with sleeping Holly. It's a gift for us that you share your amazing life in Positano.And Lucca's garden makes me swoon!
I adore Carlo and others in the videos speaking Italian.
On a side note I've been binge watching your channel for the past few days every chance I get. I appreciate all your hard work Nikki. ❤️
Love Carlo speaking Italian..as he should because your videos about his home in Positano, Italy. That’s what makes your videos so genuine and appealing. Love them🌸💕
Very comical vlog. Carlo stole the show with his english. Thank you for translating for us.
And I love to hear him speak italian. That puppy was so cute and Holly got a bit jealous😂 Skye and Nicola look so happy together. Hope she can stay longer in Positano. England is a mess with lockdown.
Stay warm and safe. The winter sea is very strong. Love the beach scenes.
Ciao
Hello dear Nicki, Carlo, Sky, Nicola, it is so nice to see all of you answering question of your followers, but is also nice to hear Carlo answering questions in Italian, it is natural for him, since it is his first language, but he also understands English because his wife Nicky is English speaking, so it’s cute to hear him trying sometimes to speak English, I am sure everybody understand all of you, and that makes this channel so original! All of you are a wonderful family that shows us how beautiful is Positano, and also your way of living, which most of us would love to have. Positano for me looks like a piece of Paradise. Thank you very much for sharing it with all of us. God bless you! 🌺🌺🌸🌺🐶🐓🐈🐑🌳🌊🌤❄️💟
Nikki your family is so adorable! Carlo is really charming and we love him speaking Italian, thanks for writing the subtitles for us.
"Puoi conoscere il cuore di un uomo giá dal modo in cui egli tratta gli animali" ... that applies to your family, it is beautiful to see the love you have for your pets and how those values were passed on to Skye. ♥️👍🐶🐈🐓
Nicki, I love how positive you are. It is so infectious, I discovered you late but loving watching your videos. I am loving everyone in your family as well. Thank you for continuing to share your life with us. 💞💐
Carlo, from the state of Alabama in the US, I LOVE your English and Italian! Do not be shy! :) Thank you, Nicki and family, for sharing Positano with us.
Hi, I'm Carlo, I don't want to be shy, I'm shy, but only the first moments, Then ... Everything changes.
I just love watching this beautiful family...my ex-husband is Italian and our plan was for the children to learn Italian 😔didn’t quiet work out as planned. It is such a beautiful language..Carlos you speak in what ever your most comfortable..it’s your natural language. Gorgeous country.Thank you all for sharing your lives. Dark rainy day here in Connecticut,U.S.A.🇺🇸
I enjoy listening to Carlo speak Italian. Of course, he should speak the language he feels more comfortable and fluent. I appreciate the subtitles, Nicki.
Love seeing your family together answering these questions & giving us a glimpse of your personalities & interactions. Carlo’s Italian adds so much to the videos. I feel as if I have new friends, & I’m spending lots of time during this pandemic just watching your videos. Visiting Positano is now on my “bucket list.”
Hi, I'm Carlo, Thank You!
Carlo, isn’t required to speak English. In fact, when he does speak Italian, it gives us the opportunity to learn the language. While the subtitles are hard for the editing, it does add old world charm to the vlog.
Thank you for this great q and a video. Carlo, DON'T EVER CHANGE! I love the Italian and the way you speak is wonderful. It was nice to see. I agree, you don't need to answer personal questions. You show a part of your life, not all of it. Keep private things private. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Hi, I'm Carlo, Thank You!
I randomly came across your channel a couple of weeks before Christmas and am so glad that I did! Yourself, family, friends and animals are all an absolute joy to watch and are so natural in front of the camera. It's very interesting to see the beautiful and scenic places nearby and your daily life. I am an avid gardener and am not ashamed to say that I have gone back to the very start of your videos, have binged watched over the holiday season and have been very much inspired by the diamond garden pathways, veg set-ups, wall flowers and particularly the use of Dichondra Repens (seed order on it's way to me for spring!). I hope you never get comments which make you feel that your lives are being intruded upon, as I think that many are watching (particularly from the UK) as an escape in these lockdown periods and it is wonderful to see a family so well focused on just getting on with life in cheer, and not moaning. Your relationships with neighbours with a rooted sense of giving and sharing is lovely and I think the UK is seeing a change with this also due to the lockdowns. Sincere wishes of good health and happiness to you all for the new year, congratulations on all the new subscribers recently (well deserved), and please do continue with the hard work on your videos, the vids and you are an absolute breath of fresh air Nicki. Best wishes, Anna.
Nicki: if you have any more questions, don’t ask!! 😂🤭
Yeah you’re right, please only share what you want to share, what makes you happy and comfortable.
We just retired and built a small home, I was depressed about it and by accident I found you guys on TH-cam. Just watching how you manage tiny spaces, how you grow beauty and color in every inch of space you have amazed us and now I'm feeling blessed instead of depressed!! You have changed my point of view completely, I truly love you guys. The pets, the garden, your community and so on is very Fun. I strive to accomplish same and will never be upset about small space no longer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, truly.
This was a really relaxed video with you all at home .Delighted they have banned drones. Privacy is so important to everyone.Carlo is so sweet keep speaking only Italian we love it .We can hear English all day here plus it’s a beautiful language to hear .Love to you all from London xx
Wow Nicki! I’ve been binge watching your videos this week-end and enjoying every minute. My husband and I have been to Positano a few year ago and turned out being my best trip ever! Now watching you and your charming Carlos living in Positano every day with it’s beauty and challenges makes it even more interesting. Yet very demanding, I find that you’re way of living is so much healthier than most people around the world. Congrats on the beautiful garden and life you’ve created 💗
You guys are so authentic and nice! Started watching your videos a few days ago and i love how you show the Positano life without huge stupid advertisings of huge companies but instead promote your friends and local small business if you like them.
Keep it up! I subscribed!
Happy new year! Stay healthy and hang in there.
@DunklesBlau,
Well said! It's great to know you discovered this TH-cam channel and you are enjoying it. You'll be delighted viewing all of the older vlogs on *Positano Diaries.* May I suggest you click on the *LIKE* and more importantly the 🔔 *SUBSCRIBE* It does not cost you anything but it's the only way we can help Nicki (the benefits come from TH-cam).
🌹May you and yours have a happy and healthy 2021. xxx
The sea waves sequence at the start of this video was great to see. Thanks for sharing again. I'm sure that anyone who is a real fan of yours Nicki totally respects your right to not answer intrusive questions. Great to see some of your lives in beautiful Positano.
What a small world is this, loving that crossover between Nicki and Dan's channel at the end.
You and Carlos remind me so much of my parents. My mother was British and father Portuguese. My Father was always puttering in the garden and around the house. He could do anything. Unfortunately I lost them both relatively young and these videos make me so nostalgic for them. We still keep the home my father grew up in in the Azores, so much natural beauty as well. Your videos make me miss Europe even more, but I love them. I can’t wait until we can travel again!
Baa ha ha thought my TH-cam had goofed up. Dan in his new kitchen! Love their progress and the Lalande adventures. Kind of you all to share.
You and your family have built a wonderful, productive, and satisfying life. All the best for 2021.
This was so fun! My children (I have 7) and I have enjoyed watching your videos. The view are breathtaking and so very different from where we live but life is so much the same. Food. Family. Fun. Just love it all so much. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations! That was lovely and hilarious! I really admire Carlo and Nicola using their English! As a teacher, I know many people prefer just to keep quiet so as not to make mistakes. Happy New Year to you all!
Love watching your family interact! You can see so much love! Look forward to your videos, you do the best job of explaining everything and I love hearing Carlos talk in Italian! Best, from Oregon USA
I know how you feel Carlo when you say your shy to speak English I feel the same way when I speak Italian. My husband was Italian {[Abruzzo] and I would only speak to him in Italian because I did not always get it right. But since he died in 2005 I have not really used it but I am very surprised I still understand it when you speak Italian. I am really enjoying your videos and remember our last trip to Italy when we visited Naples Sorrento and Capri.
I watch your delightful channel because you are all fun, and I also feel like I’m taking a little holiday in these trying times! I am always flabbergasted when other readers feel they have a right to challenge what you do! You continue doing what you do in your way! I love hearing Carlos speak his language! And enjoy hearing him try speaking English when ever he wants! Carry on and keep producing your enjoyable videos! Happy New Year!
I enjoy hearing Carlo, and you, Niki, as well as Sky and other people, speak Italian in your videos. I also like hearing Carlo and Nicola speak English as well. Actually, they are very brave to speak a foreign language on camera, particularly English, as it is a difficult language to learn to speak. Thank you to all of you for sharing yourselves, Positano, Italy and Holly with us. Thanks for introducing us to "Not My Puppy". He is such a cutie. Best Wishes for the New Year from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Good job speaking English, Nicolo! Carlo - for some reason, I immediately understood your goat reference (though I also sometimes think you're a god as well for all the stuff you can build)!
Another fun video. Just want to say thanks for taking time to put in subtitles when Carlo speaks because I thoroughly enjoy hearing (reading) what he has to say. It is definitely a huge part of your channel and enjoyment of escaping to Positano Italy. ♥️♥️ thank you.
Love when Carlo is speaking Italian! Thanks for all the subtitles!
Love hearing the Italian. It's such a beautiful expressive language. Thank you Nicki for the subtitles though. Your videos are wonderful. Lighthearted, informative and beautifully filmed.
We love when Carlo speaks Italian :). He is just the coolest - pls don’t change ! Lovely vlog as always and so nice to see the whole family :) xx
You have the most adorable family. Wish we came across your vlogs earlier when we were in Positano in October. It’s beautiful to see the town off season, so calm and peaceful.
I miss Italy so much, I love hearing Carlos speaking Italian.
As both of my Italian parents have now passed away, and with no other Italian family here in Australia, (all in Calabria) , I have no one to converse with in Italian. Listening to Carlo and others speaking Italian on your videos helps me to retain my Italian language. Please don't stop!!!!
Carlo, a goat also means ‘greatest of all time’ so you go with it! I admire your willingness to speak both languages.
I love hearing Carlo speak Italian. It helps me learn the language and it sounds beautiful. Don't stop speaking Italian please Carlo 🎉
Talking about mustard yellow just as the dog squats down, priceless.
I so enjoyed seeing you all being relaxed and casual.
Great video. I love hearing Carlo speak Italian.
Hi Nikki, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. My wife and I spent 5 nights in Positano 2 years ago and fell in love with your city. Every video brings back beautiful and romantic memories of our time in Positano. As for me, I believe most people enjoy listening to Carlo and others speak Italian. It's a beautiful language and the subtitles (though painful for you...) allow us to learn a bit of the language as there are many similar words to Latin and Spanish. You have a lovely family and we are blessed to be a part of it.
I have binge watched your channel over the holidays I really enjoy your content! Happy New Year from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦
Me too! And I’m loving it.
Happy new year from Ontario! We have friends in NS. Looking fwd to seeing it one day. 🥂❤️
And me! Thank you 🙏🏻
My husband's family is from Nova Scotia, love it there and miss being able to visit.
And me!!!
My daughter and I recently discovered you. She's a landscape architect and I'm an avid gardner. So we are both fascinated by your lifestyle. I love everything you have posted. Gardens, cooking, scenery, love it all. You have a beautiful family and friends I wish you many, many new subscribers in the new year.
I like that he’s speak italian and I could learn some, cause My first language is Spanish , and sometimes I could understand some things he said . I like the mix you have there 💕
For you, learning Italian would be a cinch. Same when a German person learns Dutch. Sister languages are very often the easiest to grasp, especially in adulthood.
That was lovely! Also, I love listening to everyone speak Italian as it helps me keep up my Italian. Thank you for sharing your life with us. After spending many holidays in Positano, it really helps me understand how the elderly manage the steps (they are so fit!) and the availability of urgent healthcare for those in need. I am a little surprised that seasonal workers don’t all have secondary seasonal jobs. How do they support themselves and their families all year with only seasonal work? Can’t wait to return one day!
