The way this channel evolved from the simplest shoe care tips to the breath taking movie-like scenery covering only the best artisans is beyond belief!
The people you meet are truly the highlights of your channel! They are all very special, and genuine, and are truly what makes these material things great! Thank you Kirby for showing them off, and hats off to Tommaso!
Thank you Kirby and the entire team behind the cameras and the editing masters for giving such great cinematic justice to my city! It’s been a lovely showing you my “corner of the earth” and I look forward to the next episodes! Yours truly, Tommaso
Hi Tommaso, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a privilege to explore and showcase the incredible beauty and rich heritage of your city with you as my host! Your passion and deep knowledge of the city's traditions and craftsmanship made the experience unforgettable. Your "corner of the earth" is truly special, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share it with our audience. Looking forward to our next adventure together! Best regards, Kirby
@@sajid6027 LOL? Brits were dancing to the moon when Romans were making art, fashion and what not and when Florence alone was richest than whole England in Renaissance.. importing silk from Asia and doing fashion for Europe for 400 years after..how on earth they got it from Brits during grand tour ?? Also Brit ( Rich) youngsters came in continental Europe to completely change their coarse attitude and went back to England with a complete different wardrobe. MAybe you forgot that all the major artistic tendencies in the last 1000 years were born in Italy not in England then again.
"You live a very glamorous life..." 'No, l live a very UNglamorous life...this is normal.' Dude...🤯 Simple, yet powerful discourse from Tommaso right there... Speaks volumes to me, as that is the very approach to my own life l have been formulating this year.
I love the interview with Mr Tommaso Melani. He's not only the Co Founder & CEO of Stefano Bemer, but he's also the historian of his city. Good to heard his narratated the history of Florence. Especially the city area his living & working. Thank Kirby for this Grand Walking Tour in Florence.
It must be deeply satisfying to see the architectural structures, it's history, the people, and any and all craftsmanship that exists there must absolutely amazing to take it all in.
Wow! Seriously Kirby, your production quality is beyond TH-cam! These videos are the kind of videos i want to own in a physical copy! Thank you for these videos! I can’t express how much I enjoy them. Very exited for the rest of the episodes.
I am so thankfull you're doing this italian series. I am a Czech myself, but i fell in love with Italy the second i stepped there. The passion and charisma Italians have is unmatched. Always coming back to mama italia with happiness.
I was waiting for all episodes to come out so that I can binge watch it. I can say that this is by far your best video from production standpoint. I've been to Florence several times and I always feel overwhelmed by the beauty
Very well done Kirby and team. Can't wait to see more of Italy through your eyes. I've found it very interesting seeing the difference between the Italian gentleman and the British Gentleman. Tattoos, beards and a more lax attitude is something I find myself relating to much easier. So cool.
Thank you, Kirby, for the start of incredible journey to beautiful places of unbelievable Italy and meeting with its very creative people. It is just fun...
@@kirbyallison Thank you for your kind attention to my words, dear Kirby. I always watch your every video with pleasure. You are a very intelligent, interesting and stylish person, also a real gentleman. I also like craftsmanship, style, cigars and tradition. I will be glad if we can meet somehow and maybe even become friends. I am investor and businessman, you have similar interests as well. I belive we will find interesting topics to talk, with my great pleasure ... 🤝😎
Very classy content and top notch production. There are indeed wonderful things to discover outside of Burlington arcade and St James’s. Thank you very much Kirby for the beautiful content.
Kirby, another work of cinematic art. Your ability to invoke a deep friendship with the local people, culture and locations is what sets you apart. Documentaries are information oriented. You portray the authentic life of the destination. Well done as always.
What a beautiful video. Beautiful in every aspect you can think of, from the marvellous city of Florence and the two protagonists to the filming and the production. Looking forward to seeing the next part.
Thank you Kirby for yet another triumph. I have always wanted to visit Tuscany and especially Florence. What a beautiful city. It is definitely on my bucket list along with Vienna and Prague. Very best regards Ron
What does one say?!?! I've been blessed to visit Milan, Rome, Vipiteno and Venice in my life and I am gobsmacked at the beauty you find in so many things in Italy. They have the fashion, the architecture, the cars, the food, the culture. So much style. This episode is such a feast for the eyes, it is cinematic perfection!!! I've stood in the Colosseum, and I've stood at the Trevi fountain, Vatican City, Piazza Duomo, Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Square, Palatine Hill, Sistine Chapel. My mind blown every time! The pride in his voice as he speaks about his City is the pride I've seen and heard many times in Italy. The place is simply stunning! They have it all! I've even walked by a small gathering of Italian men in the pristine Italian cut suits and thought, "Jesus Christ this lot are handsome buggers!!!!" They just ooze class in all they put their hands to. I cant wait for the rest of this series!!! This is going to be a feast for the eyes and mind!!! Kirby, you're a gentleman and a genius. Thank you!! ❤🙏
I’m new to the channel and am starting to realise what I’ve been missing. Superb editing, production and everything in between. Next holiday will be to Italy! Fantastic show Kirby. Keep it up
Це прекрасно! Це талановито! Це надзвичайно професійно! Ви чітко передаєте атмосферу,відображаєте саме те,що найбільше цікавить. Це ознака неабиякого таланту. Дякую вам, Кірбі! Дякую Томмасо! Дякую всій вашій неймовірній команді! І,звісно ж, дякую чарівній Флоренції!!!🌝🌚🌝
Дякую за такі теплі слова! Ми дуже раді, що наша робота вам сподобалася. Це велика честь для нас. Ми з великим задоволенням продовжуватимемо ділитися з вами найцікавішими моментами з нашої подорожі. Дякую вам за підтримку та натхнення! Флоренція дійсно чарівна, і ми щасливі, що могли передати її красу. Дякую ще раз!
I’ve been waiting on this series to drop since last summer. Fantastic content and production quality. Kirby has truly created a brand for us all that feels “bespoke”. Thank you!
Ponte Vecchio at 5:53. On that bridge there is a Patek AD that hand paints the dials of Patek watches. They then become piece unique, or one of a kind.
In awe of the quality. What a journey from a channel where I learned some shoe-polish trickery. As others have mentioned the shooting and editing is unreal, but I am also very impressed by the narrative and the job you do in front of the camera. Fantastic piece from one of my favorite cities. Please tell me you are visiting Rome as well!
With each series you are able to improve and enhance your story, quality of the videos and production. For that I salute you🫡 Italy is everything which a true gentleman needs, country with style like no other, tradition, history and above all, life motto: dolce far niente 👏👏👏
An excellent start to the series Kirby. Really interesting conversation in the coffee shop. It reminded me of an Italian owned cafe in Leeds in the UK, called Pasta Romagna. It was owned by a lady called Gilda. She always played opera music, and often joined in. Everybody who walked in, were always greeted with a shouted Buongiorno. Her coffee was amazing, unlike the big chains, that were discussed in your video. Looking forward to the next video in the series.
I really like how in Italy people approach daily life in such a serene way, they are lucky because they enjoy all the beauty of the cities and landscapes that surround them
Hi Kirby, would love you to see you do a video on figurines like Lladro in Spain. Really amazing craftmanship and tradition. You would have a field day. My wife loves their work.
Your talks, walks and relaxed pace with every step makes these video's feel a joy to watch. Its sad to see this is a rare way to present these days while all around is flashing and screaming for attention.
Nothing like a cappuccino and cornetto in Italy…although my experience of Italian cafe bars has been people chugging their espressos at the counter rather than the leisurely pace depicted here! I also love how you kept some of the background noise in during the cafe chat; makes it feel more like we are there at the table as well.
The way this channel evolved from the simplest shoe care tips to the breath taking movie-like scenery covering only the best artisans is beyond belief!
Wow, thanks! I’m not sure what happened…
Ladies and gentleman we gather again for yet another cinematic masterpiece, Thank you Kirby for blessing our screens once more
😂😂😂
Facts!
Yes, and thanks to the crew I guess. 👌
Brilliant!
I wonder if viewers realise how crazy good your editors are? Amazing! Stumbling across your channel was like finding a gem.
The editing team outdoes itself. Truly remarkable dedication from them.
@@kirbyallisonHow many people are on your editing team?
The people you meet are truly the highlights of your channel! They are all very special, and genuine, and are truly what makes these material things great! Thank you Kirby for showing them off, and hats off to Tommaso!
Thank you Kirby and the entire team behind the cameras and the editing masters for giving such great cinematic justice to my city!

I'm telling you, the English men have the class but the Italians bring the flair. Great conversation and production Kirby!
The Italian's got it from British aristos doing the grand tour.
@@sajid6027whatever
and American's have avant-garde Pop (well some do)

Tommaso is the essence of casual sophistication. He's cool without even trying.
He did make the host look rather buttoned up, didn't he. Relax, take your tie off, throw on a linen jacket and put that dark DB suit away until fall.
Superb, Kirby! Thank you for spreading the culture of craftsmanship to the world. Godspeed, Sir. 🙏
My pleasure!
Kirby, my good Sir. You've outdone yourself here...
You’re very kind!!
Bella Firenze ! Thank you so much , Mr Allison , for another superb video series.
"You live a very glamorous life..."
'No, l live a very UNglamorous life...this is normal.'
Dude...🤯
Simple, yet powerful discourse from Tommaso right there...
Speaks volumes to me, as that is the very approach to my own life l have been formulating this year.
It’s a very valid point. The idea of “glamor” is anything that’s foreign or interesting.
@@kirbyallison Glamour is fear - style is the soul expressing itself
A true renaissance man in every measure! Can't wait for this series.
Tommaso is the best!

Thank Kirby for this Grand Walking Tour in Florence.
liked this video so much i came back and watched it again. Tommaso exudes relaxation
The quality of cinematography, sound and editing, is truly professional standard.
Is this BBC ?
Thank you Kirby, you've done more to promote Italy than our government.
It must be deeply satisfying to see the architectural structures, it's history, the people, and any and all craftsmanship that exists there must absolutely amazing to take it all in.
A truly stunning city. And what’s best is they the city is still fully inhabited and alive.
Wow! Seriously Kirby, your production quality is beyond TH-cam! These videos are the kind of videos i want to own in a physical copy! Thank you for these videos! I can’t express how much I enjoy them. Very exited for the rest of the episodes.
Thanks!
I am an Italian currently living in the US. What a great video. Thank you Kirby.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Italy level: Unlocked
Can't wait for you to get to Japan but I will enjoy this in the meantime.
I am so thankfull you're doing this italian series. I am a Czech myself, but i fell in love with Italy the second i stepped there. The passion and charisma Italians have is unmatched. Always coming back to mama italia with happiness.
My wife and I are heading to Florence and Rome in November. What perfect timing for this series! Every time they stop somewhere I’m writing it down!!
So excited for the Italian series! Yes! Thank you Kirby!
Great interview in today's video. 🙏👍

Another stunner. AMAZING work, Kirby. You're production team is second to none.

Ah this takes me back to my visit Florence. What an amazing city. I can’t wait to have a home there.
Stellar production quality, as always! Might be my favorite videos on TH-cam!
Congratulations Kirby and the team, for another start to an amazing series.
The sound through the video is amazing
This looks incredible! I'm excited to see what the series brings.

You're very kind! Thank you for watching!
This is when someone take a travel vlog very serious! 👍Great work! Kirby and your team.
travelled around italy for a month a couple of years ago, truly a magical place and experience

Loved this so much. What an art of life ❤❤
Kirby thank you for taking time away from your family to create this series. Part 1 did not disappoint and was wonderful.
I appreciate you noting that. These filming projects, indeed, result in a lot of time away from the family, which is perhaps their greatest cost.
You visited my home town. It has been 24 years since I've been there. Brings a tear to my eye.
GREAT VIDEO! I love the channel but wasn't expeting this level of cinematic beauty at my favorite city
Wow, thanks! We tried our best. Easy work in such a beautiful place.
Tommaso is a great guy❗️❗️❗️
This is amazing, really looking forward to this series!
Firenze, such an amazing culture, history and people!
Outstanding effort for a great result! Much respect! 👏
I’m new to the channel and am starting to realise what I’ve been missing.
Superb editing, production and everything in between.
Next holiday will be to Italy!
Fantastic show Kirby. Keep it up
was in Florence last week ... Best city I've ever seen .. Your video is amazing , love all your work . Very classy as always .

inredible videography Tommasso is such a great person thanks for the great vid
Couldn't agree more! And he was the ULTIMATE host for Florence! A lot of really great filming with him that will come out in the coming weeks.
I remember very early comments of disbelief that a YT Gent such as Kirby even existed... keep it up Kirby!
Kirby...this was wonderful! Appreciate your content
You’ve done it again! Fantastic
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely amazing Kirby! Amo Firenze ❤
A great video Kirby i really enjoyed it!!!!!
From the opening shot of Florence I knew this video would not disappoint
Live in Australia I believe this has being your best work thank you I will show this to my staff again thank you
Bravo Mr Kirby great work .
You are a legend Kirby! Well done to include Italy at last.
The cinematography was amazing omg well done guys
🙏🙏
this becoming... larger than itself. Bravo!
Wow Kirby, this is brilliant! I can See Netflix buying such sofisticate content from you soon!

What an awesome episode... Enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you Gent's !
Glad you enjoyed it

style - you're joking more like a walkin' talkin' mannequin reminds me of the T-1000 character in Terminator 2. Loosen up Kirby
Wow, thank you!
Good job Kirby. I hope you found a LCDH somewhere along your travels in Italy. Look forward to the next episode. Best regards.

Very beautiful
Amazing!
Great episode!
FINALLY!!! A video of interest outside of his house or America.
The vast majority of our content is filmed outside of America, Tim! 😅🤷♂️
I really like how in Italy people approach daily life in such a serene way, they are lucky because they enjoy all the beauty of the cities and landscapes that surround them
Greek villages and turquoise seas even better
The land of my Great Grandparents and the city my wife and I honeymooned. I love Florence.
Firenze is Bella. Loved visiting there.

Feel like I travel to wherever he filmed in each series!

Very beautiful city. A lot of work required in order to keep it in this condition for sure.
Yes!!!
