Every day I get so many emails and comments asking why you can’t locate the music I use. I purchase music licenses for almost all the music you hear in my videos. I buy them them from various royalty-free production music sites and most of the time they don’t list the performer because it’s music made only for film productions with an audio watermark throughout the entire track, unless you purchase the single-use license for $50-100 per track. I use a lot of opera so often I’ll reference the opera but I won’t be able to direct you to a recording of that specific performance that you could stream or buy on iTunes or Spotify. Hope that clears things up and thank you for appreciating quality music.
Parts of this series were originally filmed last year for another project for Tuscany Villa, which is a free puzzle decoration game set in Tuscany that you can play on your mobile.

I take the opportunity of this video, to thank you from my heart. Thank you for showing the world by explaining with love and passion for our - now also your - land, the history and beauties of our wonderful Italy. Unfortunately, we Italians, being used to living here, often no longer pay attention to the beauty that we have around us and therefore unfortunately we do not give it the right attention. But I'm happy to see that there are still people living here - Italian and non-Italian - who still realize they live in the most beautiful country in the world.❤️🇮🇹
Grazie di cuore, Leonardo. ♥️
@@KylieFlavell grazie a te!🤩
Nothing like....Kylie, her musical taste, Tuscan villages. Best to Matteo!
We rented a car in Rome to drive thru Tuscany and the manager said,"Do yourself a favor, stop in Orvieto" well worth the stop! 🙏❤☺ thanks for making our Fridays!
Beautifully done! My grandmother is from Pitigliano as are a lot of Italians who settled in the same town in Central, PA in the U.S. For years, I researched recipes that I assumed were solely Italian, only to discover from friends in Pitigliano and from reading Edda Servi Machlins cookbook Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews - that the recipes I had been raised with are a cultural blend of Italian and Jewish tradition. I recently finished a chronicle of my grandmother's recipes as well as a film short on the Italians of Hershey, PA - in the event any viewers would like to see the work. It's a beautiful town, an amazing and unique story, and you did a wonderful job telling the story beautifully! Grazie Millie!
Dear Kylie, as an Italian, fascinated by history and in particular by the beauty of historic small hill towns, I must thank you for this beautifully filmed and edited video and for all the interesting information you have included in it (like the presence of little Jerusalem or the carved road caves of Etruscan origin).
Pitigliano is one of my favourite places, still out the radar for most tourists coming to Italy and Tuscany. Your beautiful video will certainly contribute to let people get acquainted to it.
Villages like 5 terre or the towns on the Amalfi coast have now reached an extreme level of popularity and become really overcrowded in peak season, others like Civita di Bagnoregio (the dying city) are becoming more populars thanks to some media attention, but Pitigliano has remained mostly in the shadow in these years. It's a pity, since it is a really magical place. If you are driving at night from the coast along road SR74, you will be truly mesmerized by the view when you finally see Pitigliano and its cliffs illuminated after a sharp turn.
And for those that like me are in awe in front of similar places, I would suggest some other hilltowns like Sorano and Sovana (both near Pitigliano), Vitorchiano (really off the beaten track) or the impressive villages in western Liguria like Bussana vecchia (a resuscitated ghost town), Apricale (the only place with a bycicle installed on top of the bell tower or campanile), Bajardo and Dolceacqua, just to name e few of them!
All the best from Torino to you, Guido and your baby!
Ciao, Roberto
Absolutely stunning! You have such a gift. I've been chronically ill for over 20 years and unfortunately bedridden for the last 10 years. However, I was very lucky to have traveled quite a bit when I was younger. I've truly never seen a more beautiful place. I ache to be there, but now I feel like I've actually spent time there walking beside you and listening to your lovely voice. Thank you Kylie ❤🙏
I’m so sorry you’ve had to endure such a long illness. Sending you much love. ♥️
@@KylieFlavell Ok, I have to admit I'm fan-girling a little here! 😉 Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Chronic illness can be very isolating and just "talking" to you for a second made my day! ❤
@@crisnemitz1606 I can only imagine. I love knowing a little more about viewers like you. Knowing a little of your story and how much you need to be transported with beauty and music and details gives me so much motivation to work harder. Thank you. 🙏
@@KylieFlavell ❤ Okay, but until the baby comes and you've had a proper maternity break no more working harder young lady! 😁😉
I love how talented you are at capturing the flavour of a place, your cinematography and interviews are so immersive! This place reminds me of where Im living now in France, near the town of Uzès, which I really encourage you to visit if you're ever in Provence! Most people visit larger cities when they travel but the true heart of a culture and a people can often be found in traditional old villages where people have been preserving a way of life with sacredness and respect and so much love for so long. ❤️
Thank you so much. 😊
Bonjour from Collias.
I absolutely agree with everything you said about Kylie’s talents, and although I’ve never had the chance to travel yet, but If/when I do I feel the same way, I’d much rather visit areas like this!
As a Hispanic and cultural historian, you vlogs continue to appeal to all my senses and heart. Speaking English and Spanish, it is always pleasurable to hear Italian and how much I understood the language without translation. There is reason Spanish and Italian are romance languages.
Sometimes the best way to see Italy is to visit little villages like this one.
Thank you Kylie for this video. Enchanting and mesmerising. I think Italy is the richest Country to have the magnificent and historic charm of Countryside. Specifically southern Italy. That is something different. Of course the Tuscan beauty is matchless. You both follow the perfect , healthy and balanced way of living. Love ❤️ from India. 👍🙏🇮🇳 🇮🇹
In my experience, ancient Italy is very 'atmospheric'. I recently explored the old town in San Remo which dates back to Roman times. it was stunning.
Grazie mille to the Mayor of Pitigliano for taking the time to chat with Kylie & all of us! 🇮🇹🍝💚🤍♥ Beautiful village. Grazie mille to the wonderful woman that was selling the scarfs for her time. 🌞🌻💛 The most precious gift in life is someone taking the time out of their life to share their knowledge and share what it's like for them to live in a beautiful place. Grazie to both of these Pitigliano residents. Greetings from the🇺🇸❤
I loved this episode. I really enjoy when there's a lot of Italian being spoken and you include the English translation. I have always wanted to learn to speak Italian and that helps so much. This town is lovely and is now firmly on my "hope to visit one day" list!
Absolutely divine introduction, I really to wait all week for my Flavell Friday fix. Here I am eating Pizza in the UK but in Italy through the screen!
So glad you liked it! 🍕😘
I am italian but born and brought upp in Sweden. Great to see this beautiful video thank you💐
I was born in Tuscany Lucca now I live in Seattle USA .Miss the Culture and Arts ..La Dolce Vita.
Kylie,
I love these videos showing us the beautiful parts of Italy that are Not so touristy. It allows us to see the beauty on the original setting verses a high light in tourist point of view. We love history and antiques and the beauty of the intricately carved stones and building and the artistry of locals in their perspective talent , whether it
is pottery, baking or farming etc. Love your channel and content. Makes us feel as if we are getting a tour from a friend. Thank you.
Absolutely loved this episode Kylie! I love getting lost in side streets of small villages and meeting all the precious kitty’s in the village. What a magical place!
Ohh!I have always wanted to visit Tuscany!!I just love it when she,they take us to such gorgeous sites,heritage,I swear these are not just videos these are heartfelt,stunning,landscapes,architectural,buildings,magazine coffee table books can only be made by Kylie with love and passion,and so much work it goes into todays videos but she makes it effortlessly-Sabrina is a sweet Lady she loves this town and respects.pasta looks amazing too
How sweet you are, Maria!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@KylieFlavell I can’t tell you enough how very special you are to us and how much we love you both-and these masterpieces you create for us and a library of your lives for your children and their children.thAnk you for your hard work and dedication,many many blessings sent your way always 😘😘🙏🙏
I live in Plovdiv, Bulgaria 🇧🇬 one of the oldest or probably the oldest city in the world 👍🏻 Over 6000 years of civilisation and marvellous history! Great episode! Thank you 🍀
I started watching some vlogs about Bulgaria, and I was really impressed with the beauty and history. I hope to visit some day!
@@skeptigal4626 , Hope your stay here will be marvellous! Mountain Rhodope is divine and magical ✨ Thank you for your interest 💚🍀🇧🇬
Dear Kylie, you are an excellent cinematographer always choosing the right musical background and leading your viewers to magnificent scenes. It won't be long before you will create a full two hour motion picture of your beloved Italy. Ms. Flavell, you are soon to become an Italian legend.
I'm so impressed how you switch so quickly between Italian and English! I really enjoyed these interviews and the views of this incredibly pretty town! ❤️
Hello lovely couple! Thank you very much for sharing with all of us your adventure in Pitigliano, It is so beautiful ! Wow!Bisous from Alsace 😍😘🤗😉
How wonderful to think of the thousands of STORIES this place must have! AMAZING PLACE! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
This is such a great way to start my day! Hope you and the baby are doing well Kylie!
Thank you! Yes, I’m feeling great. 🙏
Good morning, what a great way to start the day. When I watched this I told myself now I can see that Kylie is very pregnant compared to this vlog. You must be now all baby with the pregnancy. He's going to be happy to meet his papa soon. Sending you best wishes.💝
You never disappoint with whatever you’re showing us. You make it so interesting. Thank you. Can’t wait to see the progress on the homestead you’re renovating for your family.
I'll never forget coming around the corner and seeing this town for the first time! its shocking and blows you away. like a movie set. had one of the best meals ever there :-) it was gorgeous and clean and so old!
Tuscany - one of the most beautiful places on the planet. We were blessed to do a self drive tour a few years ago. Coming from South Africa - my poor husband found the driving quite tricky! But it was worth every minute. We visited San Gimignano, Pienza, Pisa, Siena, Firenze, Lucca and more. Great memories!
Ciao Kylie, I live in the USA and planning a trip back home to Teggiano, a hill town my family is from. As you mentioned, the population has really declined, but Pitigliano looks healthy and populated. I am including it on my next trip! I love the history, art and culture and very proud to be 100% Italian. Thank you for sharing this treasure with us. What a great life you live!
Kylie, you demonstrate the power of how appreciation and gratitude expands your life. It seems that your passion for finding the beauty in life, brings you upon more to enjoy each day, and multiplies your blessings. You inspire me to do the same and I am so grateful for YOU! xo
What a beautiful city rising from the rocks. Thanks for sharing with us. Please show us more of these.
This was so beautiful, Kylie! We live in Germany and I’m always looking for new places to visit but definitely want to stay away from a crowds. This would be such a neat place to visit!
What a beautiful country town, so full of history and beauty. Thank you for taking us there!
While living and working in Europe many years ago, I visited Italy often for work and for holiday's. I am of full Italian decent and wanted to explore my heritage. My mother told me her mother lived in a home that was carved out of the rock, the caves in Ischia, I thought that sounded like it could not be right, until I went to Ischia myself and saw all the caves along the road to Sierra Fontana and Fontana, the towns from my mothers side of the family (Scotti/Iacono). Our family names are carved into the obelisk in the town square. The same with my Father side of the family in Roccoforte Calabria, the town square is named after my family (Sgro). Through your videos I feel like I am in Italy again, and have been inspired to take the plunge to apply for Italian Citizenship to be able to return to the land of my grandparents. There is something about living and breathing in Italy that can only be described as being able to truly understand who I am and be myself, and loving life. I am very fortunate my grandparents/parents worked so hard and took the chance to come to America to give future generations a chance at a better life. I have been doing my own blood line research for citizenship through decent, and by chance came across all the original birth, death and marriage documents in Italian. Now on to learn Italian!
Ive been there 4 years ago… absolute la loved it!! Great place to live, like me being older or with a family…!
Your picturesque clips and overall video making abilities are truly wonderful. The region of Tuscany, Umbria and La Tuscia leave me speechless. These are places where one can truly live in a spiritually profound way.
You have a gift of speaking to others, filming, you make a story behind anything.
Love from Romania
Bellissima. Thank you again for taking me to a place I love. I visited Pitigliano '19 on our way to ride with the "butteri" Cowboys.
Ah! Mark my words, I will most definitely be moving to Italy one day soon. Just gorgeous! There is so much more to see and experience outside of places like Rome and Florence. The beauty is astounding. 😍
Oh my goodness!! As with everything you film, it is beyond gorgeous!! This place, has such magnificent history, and is so untouched, not tainted, by the modern world. If I ever get to Italy, this village (?) would be a destination because of the lack of tourism and beauty. Thank you!
Such an incredible place, the love and passion of the buildings is so wonderful to see.
What a beautiful and tranquil hilltop village! A place where you can really immerse yourself in the daily living and history of Italy without the massive crowds. Warrants a visit on our next trip to Tuscany! ❤️
Absolutely breathtaking footage! I wasn’t aware of this little gem and it is truly fascinating to see it from the angles you so brilliantly chose to film and use. Thank you for an 11 minute getaway that I needed today. So happy to hear your parents are arriving soon. Being a Nonna is one of the greatest gifts for me and being here for my daughter and son in law is truly a blessing. Can’t wait for next week’s video.
✌🏻♥️
Questa città è come un sogno. Grazie dal Texas per mostrarla. Visitiamo un giorno ☀️☀️❤️❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹
Beautiful video, Kylie! Hope you are feeling well and looking forward to your next video. God bless!🙏❤
Always happy when you drop a video ☺
What a fairytale place. So glad they aren't overrun by tourists but it is so quaint by itself. People lead a mellow life there and care about all their friends and family. Enjoy your weekend 😘 Busy times coming up. Ciao.
Wow, i would love to visit and paint such a beautidul town!! Thqnk you for sharing magical Tuscany!!
Kylie your videos are like going to a very special first showing of a fabulous film at the cinema. Everyone of them is relaxing, informative, beautiful, and a mini vacation from daily life.
Thank you for taking time while you are fully pregnant to continue posting these lovely films.
This town and it’s history is amazing and stunning . The music is always lovely. Your taste is impeccable Kylie.
I so enjoy them along with everyone else. Much blessings and love to you, Guido and your family🥰🤗😘❤️
This series is SO TIMELY as I plan for 10 days in Tuscany next year followed by 4 days on the Amalfi Coast! I'm so excited!!
Kylie's films are a beautiful dream come true! 💙🦋💙
Thank-you for the lovely films of the world we all must cherish to preserve!
💙 Bless the Italians and this beautiful land of Italy! 💙
💙 Praying for Peace on Earth! 💙❕
Pitigliano has been added to my 'MUST VISIT next trip!' list. Thank you, Kylie!
How beautiful, Kylie, agape mou. Thank you for sharing! So elegant and enchanting is your perception that it translates right through to us on the screen and tugs at our soul thinking about the history we are witnessing. Aren't we privileged to be a part of it all?! Very happy your parents are with you now. With all my blessings, m
Cara, I hope you and baby are well. I really enjoyed the review/reminder of all the hard work you all have done thus far. Your beautuful fimography is better than any travel video I hae ever seen about Italy! You make it fantastical but realistic whithin the same presentation. I am mad at myself for not visiting the less touristy places that you find so much beauty in. I hope to return someday and won' rely on a travel agent that sends people to the same places over and over. Be well and take care of yourslelf, baby and Guido. Sending much love!❤❤❤
Hi Kylie, hope all well with you. Hope your Mum and Dad get back to Italy soon. It will be nice to have them share in the joy of the new grandbaby. I know how much support and love and joy I had from sharing time with Nardi and Poppa when i had my son. It was such a lovely time of sharing in the family. I miss my parents so much but grateful for their support and the great times i shared with them. I wish the same love and blessings in your future together. Joyful times ahead! Love Sally xxx
What a lovely village. Your filming is spectacular and really captured the beauty of this village. The hand carved road caves were amazing. It must have been magical walking through them. How generous that the mayor was willing to be interviewed by you. Glad you and the baby are doing well. Looking forward to seeing your parents arrival as I am sure you are as well. Take care and thanks for sharing.
Magic
Thanks
What a fascinating place just full of ancient history! Thank you for the grand tour, Kylie!
Gorgeous city. Thank you for sharing. God Bless until next time.
Una delle mie cittadine preferite in Italia ci penso spesso. Vorrei anche dire che le regole che spesso critichi sono quelle che mantengono la bellezza che ti piace tanto di questi posti :)
You revealed this delightful town to me! Now it's on my list of must-sees when I return to Italy. I love the way the town not only rises up from but also digs down into the rock.
Wow! Pitigliano is now on my list for our trip to Italy next fall! Thank you Kylie for this amazing vlog!
These Hill Top Villages are just amazing...... When I see them I always wonder how they were constructed...... They are Beautiful..... :-))) xxxxx
Oh Lynn me too, I so enjoy the chats with the locals and get an insight into how life really is without the tourists. Along with this beautiful language, I too hope to travel there one day in the future. Thank you Kylie XX
You always so far exceed expectations in your cinematography. Beautiful to see and the history shared in such an inspirational way. You are our treasure. Can't wait for next week. Take care you and Guido and the little bean.
Wow, Kylie. Thank you so much for the beautiful filming and conversations with locals; breathtaking and intimate. This town of Pitigliano is the very type of place my husband and I would so love to come back and explore if we should be so fortunate to visit Italy again.
3000 years!!! Amazing architecture🪨🏛🪨🏛🪨🏛🪨
Good morning Kylie
Thankyou once again a very interesting and beautiful segment. Enthralled by the warmth of the community and such a treasure
I cannot begin to tell you how connected I feel to Italy through your videos. I am a 2nd generation 100% Italian-American. My mother's parents came to NYC in the early 1900s from a little commune called Mondavio; my father's parents arrived in NYC as children in the late 1800s from a little town called Bella. Both Mondavio & Bella offer the gentleness of life as you showed and shared in this video of Pitigliano. Watching you makes me feel so connected to my historical past and my people. Thank you, Kylie!
Magical! I am in awe.....thank you for sharing, you help to make my Fridays! Have a lovely weekend...
Beautiful video Kylie! Thank you for showing us a new part of Italy
This one is a keeper for my dream Italian journey. 🌸
One of the prettiest places I've visited in my life. Grazie mille, Kylie!
AMAZJNG TOWN!!!
What a stunning magical place to visit. You are our travel agent to places that are just as special as the bigger cities but hidden from tourist's who don't venture outside the usual places. Grazi!
I'm so glad you filmed this and shared it with your subscribers. Take really good care of yourself as you go through your last trimester together. It's a joint effort now and after your bambino makes his debut.
I can't wait to see your parents back in Tuscany. And how the pool is going and the rest of the house
It will look beautiful
So exciting
Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Have a nice weekend dear Kylie and Guido ❤❤
Wow! What a fabulous place, definitely on the bucket list. Hope you are keeping well and getting lots of rest xx
What a beautiful little town, definitely a good life can be lived there...........hope you are well and quietly enjoying your last few weeks......Donna in Toronto
Hello Kylie, I'm hoping that you are feeling well and wishing you good health throughout your last trimester.
That was such a wonderful little documentary on this beautiful place. Reminded me of an inland Tropea built on the rocks. Another one for the bucket list :) keep well. Amazing work.
"from our little world here in tuscany"...What a sweet choice of words at the end...
I have been to Massa Mattimo yesterday and saw it with such romantic eyes...I don't know if you have been there, but it is definitely worth taking your trusted and faithfull buddy (your camera) with...
...I shall add: if you ever want to film new mini series of Life in tuscany
Shalom from
Colorado! Thank you for sharing this beautiful town!!!
Oh l enjoy seeing this beautiful town Kylie. Magnificent 🌟🧡 Thank you.
Thank you Kylie for your beautiful footage of Tuscany. It is a place I dream of constantly but it is not in our future. I just love living vicariously through you. Blessings to your family and your parents safe trip. Alla prossima.
This was so interesting what a beautiful town. Love these stories. ❤
Thank you for sharing, it's Beautiful !🌴🐊🍊
Thank you, thank you, how wonderful to travel through time.

Love these weekly trips to Tuscany...
Once again another beautiful place che devo andare . Proprio una città con molto cose de vedere grazie. Getting excited for you and the beautiful baby 👶……….🤗🇨🇦
Outstanding video. Thank you for all the work you put into your beautiful channel
Oh wow, this is absolutely fantastic and the main reason I go to Italy every year, to visit town's and village's like this. Pitigliano is now on my bucket list. If you get a chance to go into southern Italy, I recommend going to a place called Oria near Brindisi. Fantastic video, hope you can do more of videos like this.
What a beautiful town . I can't wait to visit sometime. Thank you
Breath taking,y husband would never leave USA but for me this is where I would love to go. The mayor is so nice.
Kia Ora from New Zealand. We really enjoy your Vlogs, been following you for nearly 2 years. Keep up the good work.
I am thankful to learn about this amazing place! I live in Canada where our history is young. Such richness of history, life and community. Looking forward to next Friday's video with your parents arrival. Many blessings to you all this week
So so beautiful......thank you Kylie
