  • Welcome to Part 1 of my Sicilian island series. If you've ever dreamed of travelling to Salina, Stromboli, Panarea, Lipari or Sicily during the summer, this first episode should give you some idea of the beauty, the volcano, the history, the ties to the golden era of Italian cinema, the Italian food and the local way of life. As you know, I am a great lover of vintage cinema and the love story of Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini is one of my favourites. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:
    / kylieflavell
    You can find my recipes and other information on moving to Italy, learning Italian or my filmmaking equipment on my website:
    www.kylieflavell.com/
    Please don't follow me on Facebook as that person is not me - they have stolen my identity for the past few years. You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

    WOW! This cinematography paired with the music and the beautiful stories is absolutely breathtaking!
    This is not a youtube video, this is a masterpiece! I 100% would go to the cinema and pay for it.
    What a beautiful love-story, both Mr. Rossellini and Mrs. Bergmann seem like fascinating people, thank you for sharing the story with us!
    Hearing you host talk about how he was able to fulfil his dream and the way he sees his beautiful island is also truly inspiring. You really do have the talent to find beautiful stories...you see I totally could go on and on about your talent forever.
    I am so glad that you found someone to share all those beautiful memories with. It gives me hope for myself.
    I hope you are feeling better by now, sending lots of love and good energy your way 💛🌻

I was lucky enough to spend a few weeks in Tuscany last October, and I have yearned to go back since. In lieu of traveling back, I'm happy to be watching your travels through Italy in such a cinematic way as consolation. Grazie mille per la tua arte!!

Essentially, trying to understand others and help them be understood. 🙏

      angel7823344534 Thank you. Most of the content where I translate was originally made for TV because American and Canadian networks won’t accept shows with subtitles - they tell me their audiences won’t read them. I believe Netflix also stated 70% of their audience will turn off a show unless it’s dubbed rather than subtitled.

    I loved this! I've always loved Italian culture and dreamed of going to Italy one day. A few months ago I decided to learn Italian and go visit Italy within the next year (post CV-19 of course). When I finally get to visit I want a truly immersive experience beyond doing the usual tourist activities. I want to speak with Italians in their language and learn about their country from them. I've watched so many travel vlogs of Italy that I find them boring since they offer little in terms of culture. Your channel is exactly what I was looking for. Also, your Italian is excellent. You sound very natural. Thanks for the video and I look forward to the rest of your content!

    One of the things that I’ve noticed when you speak to elder Italian people is they always seem to pass on the knowledge and wisdom of living with intent, more slowly, to enjoy life. It’s not about the rat race or a ten year plan. It’s about learning to find the joy in the little things, and to revel in the everyday blessings of the universe. 💚🤍❤️ love from Virginia, Kylie, I cant wait for part 2!

    Thank you so much Kylie! This was lovely - the cinematography is amazing! I am missing Italy so much this year, and something about your videos makes me feel like I am there, tasting the food, chatting with locals, and relishing in the beautiful scenery. Your videos provide a much needed escape, and have me dreaming about the next time I can see Italy again. ☺️

    Thank you as always Kylie. Again, I was taken away on a magical journey to beautiful Italy (so different than Brisbane). I love to hear the stories of how people from different places have come to the place they now call home. Sometimes it’s a matter of just going with the flow and not being too planned or structured, know your dream, your passion and having the drive and determination to follow them, despite what others might think. Anyway, I am now anxiously waiting for part 2!!

    Kylie, thank you once again for this stunning, thought provoking video. I am always amazed at your ability to capture beautiful imagery and pair it with philosophical and poetic discussions. Seeing the beauty in the world around us is one thing. Seeking to understand the why and how of that beauty is taking it to a deeper level. Thank you for bringing the joy of Italy into my life in a time when I cannot go there!

    I found myself immersed in your storytelling. That teaser preview - eerie ominous dissonant score - chills and heightened awareness. What a dramatic way to set the scene and mood for Stromboli. Leading in through the wartime story of the woman from Latvia and the romance between Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini (playing out her story). With dramatic close-up night-footage of eruption, weaving in the contemporary presence of “Iddu”, by grounding it all with in-depth intimate conversation with Guiseppe. How brilliantly you, through people, implicitly lay out the aesthetics of the mundane in a far grander narrative. My mind, soul and hearth expanded, yet unable to explain exactly how and why.
    Your perspective, that gravitates towards in-depth intimate authentic conversations, is part of what cinematic storytelling seem to have lost, to increased escapism from it. You provide escapism to reality, through aesthetics of the mundane. The encounters and connections between people - relatable and recognisable as the randomness that frames life - that resonates. As pivotal events in life can be due to random encounters, that lead us onto a new path of choices.
    Quite Unique ✨✨✨

    Kylie thank you again for another wonderful video! I was living in the countryside in Umbria the past year but sadly had to return home to the US during the quarantine. While in quarantine I had a back injury that left me unable to walk for over a month. I spent so much of that time watching your videos and dreaming to return. While I love film, my talents have always lied in writing. And with only a few photos, my visual memory of Italy felt like a passing dream. I'd watch your channel to remind myself and remember the beauty of my former life.
    Fast forward... I was lucky enough to be granted a student visa to the UK for my master's in Edinburgh. Taking advantage of the online method of learning and it's flexible nature, I'll be flying back to Italy next week and sailing to the island of Ponza. Watching your fantastic shots of the sea gives me feelings of butterflies in my stomach! My mouth is watering to return. I felt so depressed when I left Italy, I spent time on your channel in some sort of desperation to manifest Italy again in my future. You were my good luck charm, grazie!

    My first trip to Stromboli was a day trip from Lipari ,exploring the island during the day and being treated to some local Malvasia at night while drifting in a small boat watching the majestic eruptions and her power . A memory I will never forget !
    I had been battling blood cancer and came away from Stromboli feeling holistic and strong . There is something in her powers . Healing and soul replenishing
    I always look forward to my return when I visit the islands .
    Thank you Kylie .
