Love the twinkle and fire in Nonna's eyes in the picture. Nonno captured the same in the mold. Your nonna still has the same look in her eyes today. Very talented Nonno!
I love your grandpa. He's super awesome and so talented, self made man. I'm so glad you enjoy filming him, I could follow him all day long to see what he does. Thank you for sharing.
You’re sooooo lucky!! I haven’t had grandparents, in DECADES!! I’m like all your fans…I’ve adopted Nonno & Nonna. Couldn’t be more proud of the ENTIRE Family!
Thank you, Julian, we love your sister's channel, and I fell so in love with your family after she pointed us to your channel. Nonno and Nonna are a generation that we can learn from especially the lesson of never giving up and always pivoting. Being flexible even in old age!
@@thespicynonna i get a lump in my throat looking at Nono. I was raised by someone like him. A Mr Fixit uncle, mothers older brother, almost a father to her n to us as well. Could repair mend innovate grow anything...
I had a really cool middle school art teacher who taught us how to sculpt in wax and then cast small pieces in metal. It was the first time I did art in 3D and was an amazing learning experience. My mom still has the pieces.
The fact that Nonno made 3 sculptures to give to his 3 children so they could each have one 🥲. So considerate and loving. And wow the resourcefulness and genius of this man 🏆. Thank you, Julian, for taking the time and efforts to honor your grandparents.
Excellent. Thank you for sharing. I am a fair portrait artist, or was, I haven’t done much in years. My Wacom tablet has only been used to sign documents these days. Can’t even find my art supplies. Nonno Inspires me to pick it up again. Is he a professional sculptor, or did he make his livelihood some other way? I have a few hobbies, singer-song writer, played in some bands, had many careers. Variety is the Spice of life. Actor / stunt performer, several tours in the military, martial arts instructor, Police instructor, Computer Engineer, building contractor. Now I sit thinking, I did everything to make a living (and had a great life and time) except the things that relax and bring me genuine joy. HMMM!
@@namikazewalid201 Starting to yes, afraid the skills are more dormant than I would like. Portraits are going to take a lot of practice, can't get heads proportioned. However I just bought a condo in a mountain community and the views are fantastic, deer feeding by my balcony. so ordering supplies from amazon to give landscapes a try. And taking a lot of pictures to try some digital art. 😊🙏
Julian u should get Noono a magnifying lamp.. harbor freight has a swing arm 1 that u can clamp right to his work table and he can adjust its position super easily
Absolutely beautiful work, Nonno. My rating on your masterpiece is 100+. Nonna is beautiful both in sculpture and in real life. Blessings and love to you and your beautiful family. Sherry 🥰🙏💞
Nonno is talented yet humble. That's a rare and beautiful combination. You are a blessed young man to have such a person in your life. Have a blessed day.
Nonno doesn't strike me as a guy who watches a lot of tv. He always has projects to work on. Other retirees tell me the same thing: have some type of project to keep working on. That way you'll live longer after retirement.
I love these videos of your Nonno and Nonna. I agree the best part was your grandmother saying she loves the sculpture and your grandfather! I don’t know anyone who could do such remarkable work! Both your grandparents are amazing people!!
I appreciate the hard work and talent needed to create such a likeness of someone. I specialize in traditional Italian oils, painting portraits. Well done you achieved a great likeness..
Oh my gosh!!! He is such an amazingly talented man!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. Please share more of his talent. Its so inspiring to see how much a person can accomplish with some artistic skills. He is truly a Renaissance man. 😊❤❤❤
He sets a very high bar for himself and doesn’t realize he achieves it every time! I don’t know anyone who has ever even attempted something like that much less succeeded! I give it a 10 just like Nonna. Come to think of it, she’s the same about her cooking, not realizing how really good it is! 💕💕💕💕
So great that you share your amazing grandparents with us. Do they know how much joy they are bringing to all of us? I hope so. Very talented Nonno and Nonna! To respond to your question at the end, yes I have worked with clay but never attempted a portrait, or bust; and I've never worked with molds. Nonno really knows what he's doing - I could learn by watching him!
Nonno is an amazing artist. He knows his beautiful wife so well he could probably do the sculpture from memory. Nonna is the artist in the kitchen. She cooks amazing food from memory and says she cooks it differently each time.
Oh my gosh, this is absolutely beautiful! He absolutely captured Nonna Nina and he is fighting so hard due to his failing eyesight. He is so humble to say that this is a 6/10. I'd say it's is a 10. I did try to sculpt a head once in clay. I thought it was terrible and I put it out on the curb for the garbage men to take and within 10 minutes someone drove by and took it. Either it wasn't so bad or they wanted it for target practice.
Nonno is SO TALENTED!!! I'm surprised he isn't known for all his art, talent, and ingenuity! Bravo Nonno you are a man of many artistic talents, God bless you. Nonno I give it a generous 10, bravissimo!! Blessings to this beautiful family. Baci e auguri from Florida
We should never stop doing the things we enjoy doing! Practice makes perfect as they say…Nonno is so talented in all he does because he never gives up!! 👍🇺🇸🙏🏻😀🐾💕
That is so amazing! As she stood beside it, it was clearly 100 percent accurate. What talent! A very special keepsake for his three children. Now he needs to do one of himself, if he hasn't already.
My husband's Grandma is so talented! Sculpting, ceramics, oil painting, and water colors. She also made me a doll out of scraps. Her sight and hands have been failing her over the years which is so frustrating for her. Nonno, you are such a talented man! That sculpture is a strong 10! Thank you so much for sharing your arts and talents with us.
NONNO IS THE MAN. Both of my Grandpas are dead. Barely knew the one because he was a crusty old farmer straight out the painting American Gothic by Grant Wood. He could have been the model. The other one died before I was born. How fortunate you ars to hve Nonno. The guy is a rock star and he does not even know it.
Unbelievably talented. Such an art and talent that’s sadly no longer carried on. We’re losing so much wealth with the passing of his generation. Knowledge is wealth. They should be respected and heard not ignored.
My GOSH, he is absolutely wonderful! I lovw that your Nona told him "I love YOU!" You have such a rich heritage, Julian, and I hops yoh've pickes up tons of it to teach your own children one day. Im so thankful your channel came across my feed, and I subscribed. Tons of love and blessibgs to all of you🙏🏼💖😘
Nonno is extremely talented. He does everything with love and the sculpture of Noona is beautiful. I enjoy watching this channel and Vanessa’s channel too😊
This elderly couple is a treasure... They could teach the younger generations a lot about marriage, relationships,fidelity, rasing a family , etc etc... Really love them...
Your nonno is amazing to watch work. His process, troubleshooting, and creativity are fascinating to watch. It seems like his brain works on a whole different level. Thank you for sharing.
I'm with Nonna 💯😊♥️ A 10 definitely. Nonno ssid a 6, but true artistic passion shines in him and his talent of music, keep spreading the love with good food and heart and soul 🥰
Love the twinkle and fire in Nonna's eyes in the picture. Nonno captured the same in the mold. Your nonna still has the same look in her eyes today. Very talented Nonno!
He is such a genius, I wish they could show this video from inception!
Julian, you’re doing such a great job making these family videos.
Thank you! 😊
Again, the best, most uplifting, happy-making videos on the internet! How wonderful your grandparents are.
Great job Nonno!!
I love your grandpa. He's super awesome and so talented, self made man. I'm so glad you enjoy filming him, I could follow him all day long to see what he does. Thank you for sharing.
I totally agree!
You’re sooooo lucky!! I haven’t had grandparents, in DECADES!! I’m like all your fans…I’ve adopted Nonno & Nonna. Couldn’t be more proud of the ENTIRE Family!
Thank you! Welcome to the family! 😊
So sweet ! @@thespicynonna
Me too. I adopt other people's grandparents 😂😂😂
The bust is beautiful, but the most beautiful thing of all is their love for each other ❤️.
Thank you, Julian, we love your sister's channel, and I fell so in love with your family after she pointed us to your channel. Nonno and Nonna are a generation that we can learn from especially the lesson of never giving up and always pivoting. Being flexible even in old age!

Watching the Master is a true privilege. Please send him my gratitude and thanks.
This was fantastic!! Nonna is so pretty! The fact she loved it & loves her hubby, can’t get any better than that!!👏👏❤️
What an amazing creation
A true renaissance artist of the 21 st century.
God bless him and his golden hands. 🙌
This man is just totally amazing the finished work was absolutely beautiful.❤️🇨🇦👍
It is amazing the sculpting Nonno can do. Side by side , it does look just like Nonna. Your family is fun to watch ❤
I don’t give 10 because I give 100. It’s beautiful work. I’m impressed.
Your grandparents are so cute. People spend time with your grandparents before they're gone forever
So much talent in that man. Love the sculpture.
Omg amazing job 👏👏 👏
Wow!! What an artist! Awww! She loves it and she loves Nonno too. So sweet. ❤️
I had a really cool middle school art teacher who taught us how to sculpt in wax and then cast small pieces in metal. It was the first time I did art in 3D and was an amazing learning experience. My mom still has the pieces.
Wow! That’s spicy Nona! Great sculpture and casting, amazing talent:)
The fact that Nonno made 3 sculptures to give to his 3 children so they could each have one 🥲. So considerate and loving. And wow the resourcefulness and genius of this man 🏆. Thank you, Julian, for taking the time and efforts to honor your grandparents.
You have yo sculpt it once and then make copies from the original, which is about of work!
@edithhenson6917 exactly
I agree with nona 10/10 FANTASTIC ❤
Love this family!❤ Nonno is a man of many talents. Thank you for sharing.
MAGNIFICANT!!! A TRUE RENISCANCE MAN!

Nonno is a true artist. No doubt about it. Loved that you were there helping him. You will always be able to say "I helped him do that."
Yes so true!! Thanks for watching!

They don’t make men like nonno anymore
😢

I love creating. However, what your grandfather creates is beyond anything I can do.
He is so talented!❤❤
Nonno is not only a jack of all trades, a genius, he also has a sense of humor.
"I love it n I love you" Priceless Words. ❤❤❤❤❤💞💞💞💞💞
WOW, just WOW ❤❤❤

We should never stop doing the things we enjoy doing! Practice makes perfect as they say…Nonno is so talented in all he does because he never gives up!! 👍🇺🇸🙏🏻😀🐾💕
...he even gave cancer his middle finger- so to speak- now he is back in action entertaining and delighting all of us.
❤from Australia.
That is so amazing! As she stood beside it, it was clearly 100 percent accurate. What talent! A very special keepsake for his three children. Now he needs to do one of himself, if he hasn't already.

Oh no, I don't think that I could do anything close to that...your grandfather is very talented.
I was so touched by this. In tears the whole time. Love, & Blessings to you all~! :)

I'm blown away! This is the definition of a life well lived. Bravo! I give it a 10 / 10! Thank you for this video.
Amazing for his talent amazing for his age ……just amazing! Makes me miss my Italian grandpa even more. Thanks for sharing him with us.
