  • A very special moment and tribute, to a very special man. x
    Gennaro in Italy
    Another video in a series of Gennaro’s recipes from Italy, some of which you, the audience, have specifically asked for, and others are Gennaro doing what the Italians do best - sourcing good ingredients and making simple, bold dishes with little effort and time involved.
    Rather than cut these videos right down, we have left them a little longer and kept them relaxed. We think watching Gennaro in Italy is a glorious thing, and Gennaro does such a great job at being both inspiring and entertaining. So sit back and enjoy these as they roll out - we would love to know what you think.

    This has to be the most genuine and emotional cooking video I’ve ever seen. Such a beautiful tribute to his friend. He’d have been proud!

      Yes. Remembering our loved friends is always important. We cry not of sadness but for "saudade". There is no bad feeling, no sadness, no regrets for those whom have done all they could to their friends in life; while alive. Tears in such moments are a proof of love and humanity, it helps us grieve and give value to our lives and the great things we have done toguether.
      Buon appetito!

      First time I watched this, I clicked on it because I love his recipes and they all look so good, but by the end I was an absolute wreck. As soon as he sits down and says “memories” and starts to think about how much he misses his dear friend, I’m done for. I actually feel my heart breaking and there’s no stopping the waterworks. If I ever have the pleasure of meeting Gennaro, I’m giving him a hug (however I will ask if it’s ok with him first). I wanted to reach through the screen and give him one at the end.

    This just sets a lump in my throat and a tear to my eye. I’ve watched the Two Greedy Italians over and over again and just loved their friendship, lust for life and of course their food. Their love and joy for Italy made such an impression on me that I sold all I had and moved there 5 years ago! I am still here! I met my wife in Rome and we married in Umbria and moved to Tuscany! Even now I still watch their old episodes and even some of Antonio’s old TV snippets! Thank you to you both and thank you Gennaro for sharing as keeping his memory alive for us. Big hug.

      Yes. Remembering our loved friends is always important. We cry not of sadness but for "saudade". There is no bad feeling, no sadness, no regrets for those whom have done all they could to their friends in life; while alive. Tears in such moments are a proof of love and humanity, it helps us grieve and give value to our lives and the great things we have done toguether.
      Buon appetito!

    Over the years I saw many different individuals showing their passion for food and some try to express how they feel about their friends. However, this video showed me what a perfect recipe of pure love of friendship and food really is. There are really no words that can describe this ultimate friendship. Huge respect from Florida and thank you for sharing.
    EDIT: I was so emotionally inspired by this video that I actually just made this dish for my family. It came out so delicious that I can't express how great and blessed I feel right now. For some reason or another this dish feels very special to me now even though I have no relationship to Gennaro & Antonio .

      I can really relate to this Video. My best friend and I though that we are young cook for each other and together and have a lot of fun doing so. It's just like with people going nuts when a traditional recipe is altered because it's not just the food itself that makes it great or taste good but also what you associate with it.

    Oh Gennaro... you really had me in tears, Antonio was a lovely man, i watched you both for years, he was like family to you, and seeing you together over the years, I know this is absolutely genuine, you are a highly sensitive man, and I just know Antonio was there with you, always keep the memories alive of your loved ones, you have given Antonio...a wonderful tribute, he tasted every mouthful, That dish is so simple yet so delicious. Antonio Curluccio, you will be teaching this recipe up above plus many more... You truly are missed, what a blessing in itself.

  • @michaela_nk
    @michaela_nk 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think when i first watched this, i felt so sympathetic for him because i really admire him (plus im an empath). Now that it's been a year since i lost my grandpa, rewatching this feels like im sitting in silence with a friend that gets exactly how i feel. That choking feeling of wanting to cry but at the same time NOT wanting to, because you know your loved one wouldn't really want you to cry... Knowing what they'd tell you if they were sitting right next to you, because you know them so well... Everyone who's lost a loved one, especially someone they connected a lot with, understands this deeply. I'm making this for my mom soon- she's still grieving a lot for her father and i hope she'll love it, as she loves lemons and any kind of spice.

We come there with chairs and Brezel with sparkling wine. Its a nice way to celebrate and remember him. Alll of us have someone to think and celebrate about we miss ... but soon we will follow them whereever they are. Guys enjoy your life and eat lemon pasta but with a bit good zest.
