- A generation of young Italians are rediscovering the grand tradition of “Made in Italy”, ditching international careers and expensive studies. Is the return to their roots more than just a hipster phase?

“Yes, I kind of like the fact that now I’m making concrete products", says Guido Pallini, a London banker turned Tuscan farmer. "Before I was selling contracts and ideas, and a lot of hot air." But now, if he's not herding his buffalo on horseback, Guido spends his time perfecting new varieties of cheese on a farm that belonged to his retired father. "I see also my friends that went away to live in London, after 10 years they're all coming back", says Guido's sister Matidia. The trend seems set to continue, and with youth unemployment still at 35%, half of the 125,000 Italians leaving the country last year were young people. Yet for these law-students-turned-farmers and psychologists-turned-shoemakers, the future for a generation of educated Italians is back where they started, at home.

ABC Australia - Ref. 7260
I am an Indian student studying in Camerino,Italy.I would say the zeal and happiness these people carry no one can do it.Its always positive to be around them.It is sad that the country is not doing well financially but Italy has so much history and culture that this generation can exploit it completely to reach the top....slowly and steadily.
grazie🇮🇹🥰
Fabulous to see young intelligent educated young people taking up the challenge of a life change returning to their roots inventive hardworking . And the most important ,quality of life, proud of their heritage. I wish them every success . A breath of fresh air after following politics. Corruption and dreadful people doing dreadful things to this planet for wealth and power.
Honorable Creed, your comments and the the appended feedback information are the most important to us. Specially when we have similar views on the addressed subject on the "Mother Nature" and Agro-Economy. I remained for some time in Trieste, Italy purposing for Studying Physics at the ICTP and generally the Italian Cultural Evolution in the region. Both the subjects inherit quality of lives and livings for Mankind. Later I have lived for many years in Germany too as a DAAD-Follow on a Federal German Governmental Scholarship Award. To me the most important things inherits in the European Culture are the dignity of work and the source believes in God as our Lord for all the Mankind and quality of life. We hope next to have a living and loving earth with the "High Creed Culture and the Mother Nature".
Reverences and regards!

I live in Italy and it is rare to see such film in Italian television the only thing they tolk about is complaining about emigrants and economic problems and showing stupid things like, big brother. So well done and thank you
Zuhar Jama what do you expect when uneducated migrants are over flooding us
Throw the TV out of the window. It's garbage. All the info or entertainment you need is on the Internet.
@@loveprevails7080 lolover flooding us????...ma beviti una camomilla e cerca di non risvegliarti più pleaceeeeeeee!!!!!
Van Dijk might say about media and power: its the way media blame the minorities instead the real political actors that create the crisis.
@@cesarabrahamcastanedavalen3788 very true while people are busy worrying about the immigrants and economy the politicians and big wigs can loot and hide their secrets and divert the attention.
I've just quit my banking job to move to Alentejo Portugal, in 2 months I'm moving and I will not look back. Very nice people in this video, thanks for sharing it is inspirational.
Robin And The Dog I hope to leave the United States some day. Not a good place to be anymore. Lived in Italy already for 3 years as a child and wish to go back
Well done. Have fun. 💐🎼🦆
I want to go home to my own land and live and be happy 😊 on my ancestral land 💐💕😍 no mortgage bullshit! 🤣 Niue 🇳🇺 in the Pacific 🌏 xxx ciao.
If you've got enough income to live decently in rural Italy then it's a wonderful life...but if you're scratching around for pennies the beauty and history wont feed you unfortunately!
I once tried on a pair of quality Italian shoes in High Street Kensington. I couldn't afford them but it was an experience I'll never forget.
Love love Italy and seeing a resurgence of youth wanting to produce more for their country - molto bene!!!. And just having that "Made in Italy" label is worth the price because you know you're getting fabulous style and quality..bravisssssimo!!😳😍😍
Going from dreary London to beautiful Tuscany is not that difficult a choice.
Arie Fraiser then you clearly haven’t been to italy. Its the most boring place to be and honestly i don’t understand why but italian food made in a lot of the restaurants there is shit like they don’t even try.
Maybe you are boring.
Beautiful country, beautiful people, beautiful culture, food , music . Real Europe!
Indeed
Quality of life is relative to what your work, home, family, friends are . I can understand being miserable living in wonderful London . If you do not have the material means to live there. Even if the museums are free!@Lord Rupert
Keep up the good work young Italians , I am very proud of you all .Hard work will pay off in the long run. God bless you all.
I love Italy.
It isn't just in Italy, it's all over the world. I'm 33 and have wanted to go back to the land for some time. Pity the government is causing such uncertainty wrt our property rights here in South Africa.
You should move out of that shit hole. Let the Africans destroy it as much as they want, you are always welcome in Europe.
nomad
but south african have alots of white and mix white (most is mix white vs black) or 1/4 quarter white black
i think he have no problems as white living in south africa
Francois, the end of white rule was a disaster for South Africa.
Are you advocating or nostalgic about apartheid? Really?
@@cesarabrahamcastanedavalen3788 Do you think the negro race has done a great job ruling South Africa. Maybe you are one of those liberal whites who feels there is no difference between the negro and the white race.
Made in Italy carries big weight to buyers..people want to buy it
ishtar0077 whenever I can, that is all that I buy.
This is absolutely true. I buy pretty much everything I can "Made in Italy."
@Sleipner 33 say that again without crying
@Sleipner 33 dude, the original comment said that the label "Made in Italy" brings with itself a big weight for the buyers, that's it. And, for the average buyer, that's true in some niches like food and fashion, even if the average italian product is of mediocre quality. Talk with the average Joe in North America (and also central Europe according to my experience) for example, and ask him if he would buy a bottle of olive oil made in Spain or made in Italy. I noticed that the majority would buy the italian oil, even if, generally speaking, is of lower quality (at least I think so) because people think about Italy as this mythical place where everyone dresses well and all the food is good. Those two things, fame and quality, don't necessarily go hand in hand and that's the case for the cheap italian foods that you find in the supermarket.
What you said is more or less true, but you can't expect to have a serious conversation about a topic if the first comment of yours looks like that. That's not an opening to a more serious and well put discussion, that's just a rant. How'd you expect something serious after such a start? Even if you are saying the truth, which, more or less, you are, that sounded a lot like someone crying, hence the comment.
The guy inherited a farm ,, relax documentary producers ... running a farm is not easy especially for us poor people living in the city
This episode of journeyman was so refreshing I wish you would have provided atleast some information on all the people you interviewed. If you posted their names and Instagram company names etc it would be easier for you’re audience to promote or support them on social media or financially.
As an Italian software developer migrated abroad I can just say that in Italy if you are not coming from a wealthy family forget about it. Most of the highly young skilled people leave the country and for those who remain it's a struggle. We are among the lowest paid workers in Europe with an economic growth very close to 0%. Quality of life here is amazing yes, if you have the money :)
If Italians want to save their country they have to get out of the EU ASAP! Italy has been going down the drain these past 20 years thanks to the EU/Euro trap and corrupt politicians.
@@888karminaburana the problem of italy is the governement and the political class
aquila What do you think about Salvini.
By the way, 15 years ago I spent three moths in Florence. It was the best to “live” in Italy a bit to really soak it all in.
I saw “A Room With A View” as an early teen and the scenes of Florence were breathtaking. I knew I would love to go there.
I’m so thankful I got to live in Florence for those three months. It was a delicious three month immersion in Italy.
I spent a few days in Venice and loved it so. Recently I saw video of Venice and it broke my heart.
On one of the bridges there was an Ethiopian on each steep trying to sell cheap things to tourists. They were everywhere.
I don’t see how things could change so much in just 15 years.
@@jennymisteqq695 it's incompetent and a populist. He's selling lies to the dumbs. He focus attention only on immigration blatanlty ignoring all the other important aspects. As an exemple, recently Salvini modified the law on retirement because his electors wanted it to be changed, now we can retire earlier but with less money, total bullcrap but his electors are happy and think he is the savior of italy. In 2018 italy's Gdp was growing about 1% ,now -0,2% and if we will be lucky next year the gdp will grow about +0,2%. If english was my first language i could explaim you the italian situation better.
I love the Italians , people who know how to live a happy life..
Thanks from Lombardy
I've been in the US for 6 years, getting a degree for some corporate job I'm gonna hate while all I'm thinking now is to go back and bring a farm back to life too..... sigh
wow you need to be more grateful ..Lots of Italians would love to be in your position ..You live in one of the most wonderful countries in the world.
Wow. Beautiful country side of Italy.Love their farm.Admire them they are hard working people,
florida aguada . 👍🌺
Wow....this is an opening eye for everyone who think that life in the city is makes dream come true.
Inspirational i'm inspired now. 👏👏👏👏
You need a lot of crazy people together to make a crazy dream works. All the best to find more and more crazy people.
I'm an Italian born in the United States and I'm planning on moving to Italy in 2 years. I'm not the only one. There are other foreign born Italians that are moving to Italy.
If you are born in USA 💩 you aren’t Italian
You think you are but get over it you are a foreigner in my country and you feel like one because you don’t belong there
@@carlalb6182 If you don't like it, then too bad. I'm on my way.
@Riccardo Venturino Grazie mio amico😊. Sono d'origine Italiano. Mi piace Italia molto. Mi piace il gente e la cultura. Tanti auguri Riccardo😊
@@carlalb6182 I'm of Italian descent. That still makes me Italian. Like it or not. You should check yourself into the vet, Kitty. The fleas are coming out.
Scottish Italian here moving to Italy tomorrow
I love hearing good news about Italy
Id move from London to Tuscany in a heartbeat most would!
A very inspirational and heartwarming docunentary of embracing their roots in spite of the challenges and adversities they have experienced. I wish them all the best for their future. 🥂😘❣️🙏🏻
It's obvious that the city cannot possibly support everyone. Human beings need to be close to the land. Imbalance caused this problem - excess just isn't sustainable.
Is a Good decision to leave an injust financial system and return to the mother nature
Love Italy and people. Beautiful place and talent people. They will definitely find out their bright future. Ciao.
The world need fewer lawyers, so, good choice!
OMG - I love all these people! I wish them all unlimited successes. God Bless and BIG HUGS
Admirable!!! Inspirador!!! Reafirmando mi decisión!! 🇲🇽 💋 🇮🇹 Vamos jóvenes emprendedores!!
I love ❤❤❤Italy from Philippines..
The shoe designer lady...amazing!
I love Italy , Italian people are very smart,
@Uneuphemistic, platonic superfruit Without Italy you would be a caveman.
Wonderful! Good luck to you all and good luck Italy x
Italy needs a major kick start, its a beautiful country with wonderful history and talents but needs the govt to deliver.
The government is the one ruining it by taking away incentives to work through high taxes combined with social welfare
i've never heard any mandolins in italy. ever.
I know, me neither.....the only mandolin player I ever met was JAPANESE
@@teseofabbri1812 it is played in the traditional and classic Italian music...only a few people know how to play it
Yeah, it's funny how the piece is about Italy moving forward, but still uses the same tired stereotypes. There's some great modern Italian music that could serve just as well.
I am Italian, I can say Italians have always been traditionalist. The gap we are paying now is that governments and industry never seriously invested in technology and research. We contented ourselves with.......... Made in Italy. France developed research in technology AND Made in France traditional products, and they are dealing much better with the economical crisis.
For those that like history,Italia is new invented name.Younger than USA.Culture is different and language to in the south and North.Origins of the people too.Today Italy is under great pressure from rich industrialist and politician to adopt millions of cheap workers as former Rome did in-ancient times.Industry is transferred to China and millions of people are mowing to London.This guy was lucky that his mother was clever woman and organised all for him.
Bellísimo! I would love to live there and have a farm.
I picked up the farm from my father...
Some of us are trying to build something from nothing
Let the building of something for your kids drive you. Don’t hate on anyone else
AWESOME!! keep the dream alive
Italia 🇮🇹 wishing you all the best .
❤🇮🇹
That plate of cheese and cured ham looked fabulous. Bravo ....
Italy always been on my dream bucket list!!!
Absolutely brilliant documentary
I live in Texas and that was my dream to take the land I owned and became an independent farmer like the brothers, I bought it with my girlfriend of ten years, 3 months before we were to pay off our loan of six year loan, we had to sell it when she got cancer, she was cured then she ran off with another man. I am 55 and I think I am done with relationships (sorry got off the topic).
Sad story 😢
Better to be you than her!
Never late to find passion and love.
I'm sorry. It's important to find a creative venue, however. If I were you, I would feel passionately about achieving medicare for all, like in every other developed nation around the globe. It's plain stupid to have a system, where people lose their homes and livelihoods because of an illness!
💜💜💜
I got chills when i saw the tuscany farm...it is litterally 5 min drive from my house and i didnt know about it.
saddly now i moved to Milan chasing success. this video might change my life plans
Yes, it's important that people network and support one other to succeed in life, work, and love.
Infatti io vado in bici li. dove` : Principina?
I come from the same city as the guy who makes cheese, Grosseto in Tuscany. I am an engineer and was in London and now in Basel. They want to depict this romantic idea of the young guy leaving the big city for a more bucolic life, but the reality it's way different. If you don't come from an already rich family there is no chance to do what he did. This is not a critic towards him of course, it's just how things are.
Good to see that in Italy there are still people who are trying to create a job without complaining about the State or waiting for a government subsidy.
Well, I guess it helps when you have a banker's salary and inherit land. Maybe you missed that part . . .
@@anahata2009 many ppl inherit something & don’t value it. He went back & is improving /growing it
Well done back to your roots, producing artisans the whole word envys
So, when people realize that they working for food, they can as well bypass the system n grow it themselves
True we eat to live
i want to have a farm!
This is what life is all about. Expanding and inspiring. The best time to venture and take greater risk is in younger years. You make lots of mistakes but you can rectify it. Doing nothing and settled for the life you don’t want is another risk one has taken and regret forever.
I love people who takes pride in what they are doing.
From banker to perfect beard
@ 25:05: "... we are a bit crazy but we are not afraid... "
Best of good fortune
I loved this story. Best of luck to all those creative young people. Bravo!
"Luck helps you when you earned it"....love it.
it's common in italian but it's latin "fortis fortuna adiuvat", fortune favours the braves.
What's with the Napolitan music accompanying the images of Toscana?
Thank you for sharing this story
actually i’m from *CENTER* (yes it exist) Italy and i want to explain things a little bit to foreigners... italy is actually divided in three not in two as a common belief:
- *the north:* rich and industrialized part, clean where people are acculturated and they respect rules (northern italians share similarities with france or northern europe actually, in fact there is also a colder weather and the italian alps in border with austria and france and switzerland, the mentality is very similar and the richness in general) and the most two iconic cities are Milan (the most industrialized and rich city in Italy) and Venice, Turin, Genoa, Bologna
- *the center:* not too different from the north in terms of richness and development and culture, but less industrialized and less organized and the people are more welcoming and warm and chatty, iconic cities like Rome (capital) and Florence are in the center, but also Sardinia. Us from the center are very neutral about this diaspora between north and south and i think we are the true italians here... also because we didn’t have many invasions by foreign civilizations during history because the center italy has always been under the Papal State (Vatican) for a lot, and still is, so it remained latin (roman, as romans were originated by latins and spoke latin)
- *the south:* the most poor and undeveloped part, where mafia rules the most (and also where mafia is born) and that’s why many southern italians emigrate. You don’t see many emigration coming from center/north italians, and i explained why, and i have to add that it’s also the part where the ugliest dialects come from basically people are not well instructed in my opinion so they don’t put the effort to talk in standard italian and they prefer to use their dialects (the ones popular in mafia families for americans basically SUPERMARIO LOL) but again their dialects are ugly honestly... italian is a romance language, melodic and sweet is the language of music, opera...so it really sucks that there is (especially in USA) this stereotype that italians talk like supermario or like mafia bosses. This is true for the southern italians as i explained, in the center/north people talk standard italian and less dialects with a proper accent. If you hear standard italian is completely different from the dialects spoken in south of italy especially, and southern italians in general even when they talk standard italian they have (sorry) really bad accents😂But also i think the south is the most gorgeous and iconic part of Italy (Amalfi coast, Capri, Naples, Sicily, Positano, ecc)
Us from the center as i said want truly a united Italy, but Italy is veeeery divided not only from north to center to south but also from region to region! The fact is that Italy unified very late on the contrary of other european countries, in 1861, and before it was divided in different regions who talked different dialects and had different cultures basically... a BIG MESS! Italy is my home, a gorgeous country full of history and culture and art, marvelous places, food and warm people.. so we have to unite from north to south! 🇮🇹🕊
Very inspiring! Truly, one always has to be receptive to new ideas or whatever the situation calls for.
I love Italy. Love lots from the Philippines....
The story not just applies to Italy almost everywhere ppl are finding alternative ways to survive despite huge unemployment
So much beauty in this video! Thank you
Very uplifting documentary.
SMOKE CHEESE! i think that is the next big step and big thing for Guido! something to ponder outside the Italian Market!
Passionate, Love, Dedication and hardwork is the Key to your SUCCESS!
Nice way to go Italy.
So, let me get this straight, in the end, the dude that already had A LOT of money (Guido) is the one who actually has a chance of doing something profitable. The other two "entrepreneurs" are just doing what they like and breaking even. Very misguiding title.
Exactly. Just rich boring people.
Ismael Anibal Maillo Melchor : Not everything needs to be judged purely on the fiscal paradigm; there is a broader perspective. The organic farming brothers are living a healthy hard working life. Who knows, the lawyer could have ended up defending all kinds of crooks enabling them to 'get away with it'; when in fact there is no getting away with anything - this is the law of life ! The young woman making quality shoes is using her innate talents to give pleasure to others. All are creating value in some unique way that cannot be easily be quantified via the short sighted lens of viewing work, or creation, based on monetary gain. Each are winning in their own way. Are you ?
Non tutto deve essere giudicato puramente su un paradigma fiscale; c'è una prospettiva più ampia. I fratelli dell'agricoltura biologica vivono una vita lavorativa salutare. Chissà, l'avvocato avrebbe potuto finire per difendere tutti i tipi di truffatori che permettessero loro di "farla franca"; quando in realtà non c'è nulla da fare - questa è la legge della vita! La giovane donna che produce scarpe di qualità usa i suoi talenti innati per dare piacere agli altri. Tutti stanno creando valore in un modo unico che non può essere facilmente quantificato attraverso la lente miope del lavoro di osservazione, o creazione, basata sul guadagno monetario. Ognuno sta vincendo a modo suo. Tu sei ?
it sounds like free advertisement for rich kid farmer..you have money you can play around for new cheese and have workers so is not so hard work...this young guys with goats is different story reality, dont have behind rich farming family , so they work really really hard cant afford workers and hardly making break even...i want to see how long is going to take until decide they have only one life and perhaps is not for them!!
Loved this and have featured it on ItalyChronicles.com. Down to earth but inspiring too. And I've discovered another new Italian cheese to track down! More please (videos and cheese!).
Truly Inspirational
very interesting...and italy is so amazing
18 year old American here. I'm thinking of saving enough money and starting a business like this in Italy. The potential is massive.
Brilliant. More of this please 💖💖💖💯
I lived 5 years in Italy and I love it and soon as possible will move back (not for money tough, only for frends and food) Greetings from Finland.
Rupesi tekemään mieli Italiaan myös! Olen asunut Kanadassa pitkään, mutta eurooppalainen asenne ja elämäntyyli on lähellä sydäntä... Solo hablo español, lo siento... vaikka ei luulis olevan ylivoimaista oppia italiaa myös.
Where?
The spirit of innovation of the Italians has not died. It has multiplied and takes on a new life. New projects and triumphs.
"Embracing the tradition...."
That's the storytelling you pretend to impose about Italy, that's the point, I believe.
Never, I mean never talking about how many good researchers, scientists, (In A.I, for example or in the aerospace industry) or astronauts we have ( the Sicilian Luca Parmitano is the actual international space station's commander)
No.......just Mozzarella, Shoes and Opera.
Well my friends, like it or not, the word "Science" comes from the Latin "Scientia" which doesn't mean simply "knowledge" it means literally "Science". Get over it.
It's to do with the politics of rapresentatiom and hidden agendas
As they say you cannot have everything at once. You have Tuscany with a spectacular scenery and good weather (relatively), but you have to deal with the government you have and all of its bureaucracy. That basically is like throwing broken glass on the sidewalk as you walk barefoot. It's a slow and painful walk, but at least you're not in awful weather UK. Hope they're all very successful. And, btw, I see Hamish dating Guido.
Beautiful documentary thank you guys, the chance to lived in Great Britain for sure gave the plus to Guido
Back from Australia after 25 years how can I help? Forza Ragazzi e Ragazze, Signore e Signori let's make Italy Great ! I can help with the export for the Australian market.
Cheers to these brave younglings!!! I had similar desires in my 20's but was so afraid of failure I didn't try and now at 61 feel a complete failure.
You can do that even now. So many older people are also making history. You can accomplish your goals.
Ahhh I used to live in Grosseto and I miss it there sooo much
Delightful and good luck to all.
My best wishes for a successful times ahead
Few small businesses in some niche semi-luxury markets in which "made in Italy" matters, such as custom designed shoes or organic cheese and so on, might or might not succeed, but that will never change the gigantic tectonics of globalized economy. like it or not, it can not.
Globalization also means huge markets, like China or India, which have millions of rich people who love luxury products made in Italy, this is why Italian exports enjoy excellent health.
You miss the point. Te whole economy is crumbling and these few small businesses, even if they would succed, can't change the fact the italian economy is not good at all nor the expectations of growth nor some serious and very difficult to fix problems like the old and fast-aging population. Actually is a problem in pretty much all the world western world, but in some countries like Italy this probelm is much bigger.
This continuous useless, fatalistic, italiot complaint, always complaining without any desire to react, how sad!
Io lavoro nel privato e non sono l'ennesimo lagnoso piagnone che passa il tempo a frignare a casa con mammà. Va a dà via el cul.
I don't understand one thing ,if this Italian countryside has no pastures to graze their cattle on ,how can cheeses of good quslity be made there,I am just curious. I haven't seen any lash pastures in this video.
Look up the farm in google maps, it's in the middle of agricoltural land.
Also the fodder is brought to the cows they don't live just with grazing.
@@Maurazio probably they decided to make cheese to get more money.....
amazing channel
Intent just to listen while cleaning but so inspiring and beautiful I am taking a rest a share with my friends.
I'm staying here in Rome for almost 13 years now.the Italian people's are very nice have a very very big heart. Seeing this video makes me more amazed with these yourger generation truly this country is great and have lots of opportunities. Hope that others Italian people's will be open minded especially for changing and adopting new technology for their businesses.Good luck and i love Italy 😘
Very nice video
The people of Italy are very good I love them all❤ (From Dhaka 🇧🇩)
Thank you :)
20:00 minutes of the video: The world doesn't need more lawyers.
Good for this young people. Working for other people is tough and also without stability.
Great documentary. Love from
Moldova!
Nice :) I love Italy will visit that place one day
Italian is so amusing to ears.
amazing , they are all so attractive people , europe has the best looking and most inventive population of this whole world
Italia! Molto buono!
At minute 0:30 don't put Neapolitan music to represent Rome, or other cities. We are not all Neapolitans in Italy. Just saying.
Complimenti, bell lavoro
Hi, any contact for the lady that makes the shoes?
Unfortunately social security payments are crippling and many young people are dubious about paying out all that money to (perhaps) get retirement benefits in 30 or 40 years.
