The man legit did the meme of balkan people visiting other people’s countries to learn more about the culture and be racist more accurately.
Thats serbs for u
Lol
@@jzilla1234 hey were not all like that but most are lmao
Exactly
HAHAHA - this was my comment: Get your a$$ up here to Bulgaria if you want really weird - absolutely NOTHING makes sense to the western brain.
Americans baffled at the pace of life in Italy and the fact that most stuff is human scale is always super fun.
Pace of life = be lazy lol okay
Thanks for being super fun like Hasan Mr Versace 😉

FYI, in most of Italy, Uber is illegal unless you're a "professional driver." That's why all of the Uber drivers are in the fancy Mercedes, BMWs, and Teslas.
Yeah Uber is illegal here in Buglaria - thank GOD.
And that is great, as Uber ruins unionized taxi business.
@@Thefire591 but taxis are a problem in italy, they cost a lot and they evade almost all the taxes
same in turkey bc of our psychotic taxi drivers
@@minaxxii You DONT want Uber - they put the taxi's out of business and then they jak up the cost 10 X
Oh my god, I love when Hasan sais " I think italians are just into the estetic of religion " because i have friends that wear a necklace with the crucifix but haven't gone to a church in years.
Good video.
It’s the same with Latino folks even when they go “satanic” it’s usually just for the aesthetics I notice
Yeah. I mean, it’s the culture you are born in. You may be an atheist but your culture is still tied to the local religion.
Americans are super Protestant in this sense. Making tons of money equal working hard which equal following the scriptures.
That’s why capitalism is stronger, as an ideology and system, in Protestant countries (UK, Netherlands etc.)
well usually you get that type of necklace with the crucifix once u go through confirmation by ur grandparents or parents.. so for many people its more than going to church but a reminder of your family
I’m Italian and he’s right, i have friends that wear crucifix necklaces and the last time they’ve been to church was 10 years ago
As a big guy hearing a European hotel room must have been a “woman’s prison” I’m literally in tears lol
“What are the 3 Italian professions? Textile worker, pirate and gay?”
💀
💩💩💩💩💯
Hasan is low key hella funny
"please don't call I'm wondering why, it's not so bad." 😄
low key and hella
@@sponkmcdonk3898 a bit of a lot
Yeah. He’s definitely low key funny.
Yeah, very very lowkey
Man's commentary and observations are so fucking funny to me sometimes.
Moments like this that remind me why i fell in love.
Can find him grating and obnoxious at times, but all in all, a funny and good fella
Hasan’s most toxic community members will give due respect to Ethan Klein and 9/11 in 2024.
ethan is wrong about almost everything except when confronting someone worse than him, @@matthewmeade117 he being wrong about israel is just a regular monday
I am Italian but my opinion is not necessarily historically 100% true.
1) When these buildings were raised Italy wasn't even a state (Italy's Reign was founded on 1861, and became Italy as we know it only after ww2)
2) You have to understand that almost all these churches were founded by Catholic istitutions, which were probably the biggest economical (and one of the biggest political) power in ''Europe'' during all Middle ages and reinassance period up until 19th century, so they used that power to either show how strong they were and perpetuate theyr egemony through cultural appropriation ---> monopolizing religious and cultural places such as churches and schools means the only thing ppl see is christianity, which means they'll feel culturally belonging to that religion in particular.
3) before the costitution was written in 1946 Italy wasn't even a secular (laic) country
4) but maybe the most important fact is that: being the christian church so powerful every aristochrat needed to address them in their art, as religion and power were strictily connected.
5) All you are talking about is from centuries ago. Istitutions, peaple, and usages have changed exactly as they change in every country/ geographical area (for example slavery was considered necessary in america for its economy, now its not)
Sorry for bad english
also if u went in tuscany they make brad without salt becouse of regional tradition, but in most of italy exept 2 or 3 regions they make it with salt, yeah :)
Im a white American who visited Italy for the first time this year so I LOVE seeing Hasan throw on the Italian accent and complain about the tiny rooms and tiny clothes in Florence
He should visit Gaza or occupied territories instead.
@@TurtleChad1 haven’t seen your troll comments in a while. Welcome back!
@@TurtleChad1 why should he do that? sounds like a shit holiday
He's gotta get used to a healthy society, doubt that's easy if you're American.
@@Jess-zf3vewas just thinking the same thing 😂
"Dante, the videogame guy" LMAOOOOO
American moment
You hit the nail on the head.. It's the same in Malta.. People are into the aesthetics of religion more than into religion itself. It's because it's been a part of our culture for so long.. Religion had a lot of power back in the day and they used to manipulate people with superstitions.. They used to believe that the more they give to the church, also by building churches etc, their place in heaven is guaranteed and they will spend less time in purgatory.
Hasan is right, Uber isn't really a thing in Europe. I don't know how it works in Italy, but here in Germany you need a specific license (passenger transportation licence) to even be allowed to drive people for a living. I guess it's similar in Italy, that's why you rarely meet people who use or work for Uber.
In italy uber is like a rent car whit a driver, they must start from a common home base and when the trip is over they must go to home base
had the same experience when i was there. wasn’t an issue for me as im good with public transportation. did get in a pinch in barcelona a few times where locals explained the taxi drivers lobbied and successfully kept uber out of the city. you can get a taxi there no problem.
In Italy, Uber & co were killed by the taxi drivers lobby.
In the rest of Europe, I've only used it 3-4 times. My impression is that there are many other public transit options, so there is less demand.
Last time I went to the US, I had to take Lyft from the airport to the hotel bcs public transit did not exist.
In Italy works that Taxi drivers messed up law by selling licenses and now it's a lobby that want everything.
They threatened every uber worker (death threats)
Uber in Europe it's what I think it's called Uber Black in the US (a licensed taxi driver utilizing the app to search for customers). I think only France and the UK have proper Uber
If your still in Florence u should go visit the lookout area on the other side of the river. U can see the entire city and it’s really beautiful
Go in the night for much less people tho
Is that piazzale michelangelo? I spent 3 days in florence when I was in school, and that was the best thing we saw.
Yeah this is well worth it.
@@carlos_herrera yh exactly
Just use regular taxi in southern and eastern Europe. Is a lot cheaper anyway.
i think the point is because you organise taxis by phone usually and they don’t speak italian. that’s probably why they went with ordering an uber
@@ayooobro Most Europeans do speak English though. Maybe not fluently, but good enough to tell Americans that a Taxi is on the way.
No that easy, Italian taxis it's a corrupted world
@@ayooobro airports in Europe usually have lines of taxis waiting outside, so they wouldn't need to call for one in the first instance. Also in cities that get a lot of tourists, taxi drivers definitely know enough English to get by (the exception is France of course).
Using taxis in Italy is different compared to the rest of Europe; here, there's a kind of internal "mafia" that controls the sector. Typically, such services are used by very wealthy individuals who don't mind paying an inflated price. For any other situation, public transportation exists, though it's generally poor. One thing is certain: if you're a foreigner, the attempt to scam or raise the price is more than plausible. I recommend always using a navigator if you decide to take a taxi, not just for directions, as even then you might face an increased fare due to being a foreigner. Having said that, welcome to Italy.
The most American tourist I've ever seen 😂
In tuscany the bread is saltless idk why basically anywhere else in italy we have salty bread fuck tuscany (i'm italian and an anarchist basically hasan's worst nightmare)
Just like me fr fr
In Tuscany they have lots of salty food that goes with the bread, so they don't care if the bread itself is bland
It's because there were salt wars during medieval times (salt was a great resource, even as far back as Ancient Rome, hence why we call money our "salary"), so the Tuscans just learned to make bread without salt and it's a tradition that sticked through time.
the reason why the bread is saltless in Florence is because in 1100 there was a sort of embargo imposed by Pisa (the main rival city at the time) and for a long period bakeries didn't have access to salt, so they made saltless bread for a long time. Another explanation could be that around 1400 AD the pontifex state imposed expensive taxes on salt, at that time salt was called "white gold"
I’m European and live a few hours drive from the Italian border. Italy has many problems - things like the prevalence of dysfunction/corruption in public services or the not insignificant minority of Mussolini admirers aren’t just caricatures - but nowhere is perfect. In fact, every visit, I come home and wonder : Why am I wasting another day of my life NOT living in Italy?
The weather is warm, the culture is vibrant, there is amazing food, it has some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the world, it holds the history of ancient Rome and the Renaissance, and Italian is the most beautiful language.
Incidentally, I get a similar feeling to that described in the video whenever I visit any major city - you can’t look at the Maison des Invalides, Buckingham Palace, St Peter’s or even the Colosseum etc, and not think : I wonder how many people (conquered or just impoverished) had to give their last penny in order to birth this empire’s monuments?
Not that it completely spoils the view, but there’s something grotesque behind all that beauty.
I get the same feeling whenever I visit any of the stately homes in the UK. I used to enjoy the magnificence, but as I learned more about the colonial past, and the feudal aristocracy, I started to wonder about the millions of people who were robbed, enslaved, displaced or dispossessed so that so much obscene wealth could be accumulated, and spent in such an extravagant display, to house one entitled family.
The other weird thing is that many of the villages that surrounded these great houses, built for the estate workers, have been gentrified to such an extent, that only the very richest can afford them...and they are VERY jealous of their pristine rural idylls and oppose the building of ANY affordable housing in their vicinity. This means that many villages have become like picturesque old people's homes.
@@curmudgeon1933now you go to London and it's Londonstan
The bread is not salted because it's eaten with lots of really flavourful sauces and cured meats that are reach in flavour and salty bread would be overkill. Also, you get used to it and it goes so well with everything because it just accompanies the food it's not supposed to be the main event. But yeah, we are the only ones in Italy who have unsalted bread and the other Italians don't get it either. If you want salt just get schiacciata (which is a type of focaccia).
+ just a tip: avoid bars and restaurants that are the closest to the main churches, they will 100% rip you off. Try the street food in the crusty little vans outside markets or in the tiny squares instead, great value for money. You should most definitely get a Lampredotto sandwitch or the trippa (anywhere in the Sant'ambrogio Market will do).
Isn’t it because of the century’s old beef with Pisa? 😂
bro being full American in Italy. Fun to see.
I love racists Hasan. He’s my favourite Hasan, right up there with misogynist Hasan
Transphobic Hasan is also classic Hasan.
born and raised in rome here. this was very funny.
hasan, if you come to rome, try the streetfood for god’s sake. go to trapizzino and have one with chicken, and a supplì, the regular one. if you’re in the testaccio neighborhood (close to trastevere) go to the market and look for a sandwich spot called “mordi e vai” and get the boiled meat with boiled potato and salsa verde. have all the pizza a taglio you can have, especially the pizza bianca con mortadella. trust me
Rome is the most beautiful city I have visited, Im jealous af 😂
@@mitza420 there are many downsides to it but yeah, the art is unbelievable, the food is excellent so i don’t complain
What was that funny uncopino. Although i am not offended, hearing Hasan complaining that he slept next to the Duomo Is Classic american behaviour. And also judging about what the Medicis built or didnt build without thinking about the context of the city states period of the late Medioeval period. Idk, feels like hes not paying enough attention
oddio trapizzino regna
My man can't even book his own hotel and the first thing he does is complain lol
he should pay austin's italian bill
As for the saltless bread : "There are many stories about why the bread in Tuscany is without salt, but the most popular one is that salt was heavily taxed during the Middle Ages in Tuscany so Tuscans opted to go without in their daily bread. There are also rumors swirling about that Pisa placed an embargo on salt to the Tuscan city of florence."
Hasan on vacation is fun! Have a great time in Italy 👏🏽
WHY DIDNT I KNOW HES IN ITALY I LITTERALY LIVE IN FLORENCE WTH
I’m glad Hasan is giving a platform to all of the 13th century peasants 💯🔥
The bread is saltless because they usually eat it with sauces or ham/salami, mainly a Florence thing
Hasan is one of my faves online, of course he’s a brash American & so as a Brit that can be grating at times but he’s a Turk & so that redeems him. He’s knowledgeable, funny & absolutely gorgeous looking so 4 out of 5 ain’t bad 💚
Class relations in feudal societies are completely different. Like hard for us to really comprehend the level of social cohesion.
Huh
True, there's a mediaeval professor called Barbero that explains these things so well, I wish he had English subs for non-italian speakers, I swear he's fantastic on the topic
The St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican cost 7 times more than the Burj Khalifa (tallest building in the wolrd, in Dubai) in inflation adjusted terms (keeping in mind, this is a very barebone estimation).
It's insane this level of wealth was available just to throw at projects when total wealth across society was so low not paying your soldiers consistently was a common occurence. And what's even more insane (imo) are the project completion times. The Florence Cathedral and the Basilica both took about 150 years to build. Could you imagine a construction project that takes so long in the modern day?
Imagine if they had a coffee trade back then instead of just sipping on wine
@@chinguunerdenebadrakh7022 the Duomo of Milan took over 500 years (from 1386 to 1932)
Glad he's having fun on vacation just to come back to everyone and their mother launching attack videos about how gosh golly bad he is all of a sudden
The whole thing about Jews and Italian bankers makes no sense. At the time of the Italian medieval banking system, Jews were still accepted in the economic texture of the Italian communes and were rich merchants and money lenders in cities like Florence and Venice. It was at the start of the modern age (especially under the influence of Spain), that Jews started to be economically and physically persecuted and left for Eastern Europe and the Ottoman Empire.
And nobody saw positively the Medici or any other banker for being money lenders. Many of them built churches to "wash" themselves of the guilt/sin of being people who became rich with usury.
The Scrovegni Chapel in Padua is a perfect example of it. It was made by the son of the biggest loan shark in Padua so that people could see the history of his family more positively.
Nowadays families like the Sacklers, of opioid infamy, fund art galleries, and opera houses to whitewash their reputations...as a tax avoidance strategy, and to launder some of their ill-gotten gains.
Ugh i used to live in italy for a semester and have been there several times. Youll have the time of ya life
Dante’s Inferno - the video game. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's Italian now, yo!
Look at it this way:
In the 1300s, 1400s, 1500s, when you spent 8 billion dollars or 33 billion or however some people estimated it to be, you ended up with creating a real product that looks like it is worth billions.
Nowadays when a building costs 1 billion dollars it looks like it could have been build for a tenth of the price, because it was, because the other ninth tenths of the total budget were actually laundered and sent into the bank accounts of the people in charge of the project.
you talk as if corruption is a new invention.
10:30 .. he doesn't imagine how much power the Medici used to have at the time so yes they could do whatever they want
The lack of historical awareness of Americans never ceases to flabbergast me. Pizza in the 14th century and people should be mad about rich people investing in infrastructure and arts?! Renaissance Florence was what San Francisco or LA could be in the 21st century but the people there are just not afraid enough of the good ol' Inferno they will be or are burning in (souls of the living can be in hell too according to Dante, explains Jeff and co. pretty well :D)
in italy the Uber app sometimes works but it literally just calls you a typical taxi hahah
You’ve never been in a confined space quite like a European hotel room.
I dare Hasan to tell the people he meets there that he hates Italians or make any of the I hate Italian jokes he makes on stream.
Aww are your feelings hurt😅
He’s so handsome
Agreed. Gorgeous young man
I can't believe Hasan is travelling so little.

Italian here, yes Italy is a lot into religion. And yes more in an aestethic way but I paradoxically think that in the USA is way worse. I mean in Italy luckily ideologies are declining while I see in the USA an increasing and steady cult for military, weapons and conservative values. In Italy religion, where present, is not that much about the individual relation with god but with the relation between the believer and the religious community. In this sense religious communities are venues for social capital (the only bad things related to the religion decrease in Italy, people are more alone now).
Least amerabrained takes on Italy
Italy is great have fun. No Uber but mafia taxis.
Poggers Murat. I remember he was mad at Hasan for being loud at the japanese temple too.
I waited forty minutes for an uber in London. There was a train right there, that is how to judge how a country works, not uber. Florence is a small city not NY, what's wrong with you Americans?
The video literally starts with him saying "There was a train going to the city centre just outside the airport, which is amazing. By the way I didn't take it because I didn't know where to go so I called an Uber". That just says everything about his mentality to be honest
Could've just went back to Jersey
Old times worked differently, you can’t look with modern perspective and try to understand why people were doing things that they did.
I went to Quito, Ecuador and every fucking building was either a church or a store was selling Christian merch. Where do y’all buy food???
The whole thing about putting parts of a Saints body inside a relic is bizarre because I was always taught the reason Christian's don't cremate the dead is because the body is supposed to be whole for it to get to heaven. So it's weird that Christians are fine with desecrating their Saints and separating their body parts.
How is what you say about the Medici's any different from the obscene riches of Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates today, in the face of so much poverty?
Firenze! The Duomo! Sì, signore!
The way hasan describe Florence is lowkey similar to Gulf Staes with their ridiculous way they spend their money on.
Churches were built to be dark and gloomy on the outside and heavenly on the inside in order to convince the masses that the churches were divine.

Crazy because it makes a k sound in English too..
Calling an Uber in Italy? Why would you even do such a thing. Ridiculous. Rural Italy is not Murca.
why are you making accents?
I hope hasan gets away from the tourist areas and has an authentic experience. So many homeless in Florence, yay for capitalism!

@@angelogiunta7598 i grew up in naples, the city is beatiful, yes its flawed of course but no Napoli slander please lmaoo
Most of the homeless are illegal migrants, and there isn’t something you can do to give home to 100.000 people who come to Italy every year but dont have any official existence
Poor Hasan, can never find drip his size MAMA MIA!
Just few minutes walk away from the center, there are much more large comfortable hotels. I forget the name of the hotel I stayed in but I believe it was a 4 star hotel. I love to see a video of you climbing the dome and the bell tower. I did both... because I'm a glutton for punishment.
Underrated video at this time
