  • Welcome back to another episode of Renovating a Ruin. This week I'm in the kitchen cooking traditional Italian homemade cannoli. I share some before and after shots to show you more of the history of this Tuscan villa and all the renovations that have been done on the property. And we try the new painted shutters on the main house. I have tried to make it almost all bilingual for those of you studying Italian. Hope you enjoy it! You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:

    You can find my recipes and other information on moving to Italy, learning Italian or my filmmaking equipment on my website:

      Really impressed by the ease of Guido to show comfort and ease during his joint efforts together with you Kylie! The history of your joint restoration project is fascinating & your excitement with the shutters being so pleasing was so appropriate!! My promised future birthday gift is on the way to me before it will be sent to you. Happy 30th birthday soon Kyrie!!

      Carissima Kylie,
      Forse mi ripetero ancora una volta scrivendovi questo messaggio, ma è ovvio che tutti i vostri cortometraggi video sono dei veri capolavori cinematografici assolutamente meravigliosi, di una bellezza e poesia rarissime e magnifiche, come il riflesso della vostra anima, ma ancora come la tenerezza e la bontà del vostro cuore.
      I vostri video mi ricordano i film commoventi dei famosi registi del cinema italiano degli anni 50' e 60' con la stessa atmosfera magica (in riferimento a Rosselini, Vittorio de Sica, Michelangelo Antonioni, Federico Fellini, etc). Kylie, Siete una donna molto talentuosa, radiosa, solare, luminosa, totalmente affascinante di bellezza fisica e d'intelligenza.
      Con stima e tutti i miei più affettuosi pensieri. Augurandovi in anticipo, delle meravigliose "Feste di Pasqua" per Lei e per il vostro fidanzato Guido !

    When I'm feeling low or completely overwhelmed at the prospect of so much work I have waiting, I also "surrender to the repetition" in the kitchen. Baking, kneading, or just engaging in the beauty of process that is cooking and baking helps me to solve problems, destress, and come back to the work that I love and life with a renewed enthusiasm. Today is hard, so thank you so much for reminding me.

    "Surrender to the repetition", I love this. When we were seeing the old stable, I thought to myself, wouldn't it be amazing to see Kylie on a horse, I see your riding outfit and coming up up the cypress drive at a trot, perhaps I will only have this as a beautiful dream. The blue shutters look lovely against the yellow/cream walls. I laughed when Guito was talking about change and how it takes time to get used to, you two are like yin and yang. You both compliment each other very well. Thank you for all of the hours you spend making these films, they always bring so much joy. Have a great week.

    I think this must be my favourite so far. Such a profound comment "surrender to the repetition" has so resonated for me. I have not worked now in two years and am finding the adjustment interesting. Four of my friends have moved away and my mother and sister passed away recently. My husband -- who is Dutch works, and I have been waking up every morning wondering what I'm going to do all day. I make a list in my head -- get up turn the salt lamps on, feed Griffen the dog and Ludwig the cat. Put my contacts in, check You tube for new vlogs, water the garden do the dishes etc. I felt I was in a rut and this constant repetition - ground hog day was started to irritate me but you have put a new perspective on it and helped me count my blessings Thank you beautiful talented lady for allowing me to experience your world xxx

    Kylie, there are no words to describe how special you are and the importance of your creative work during these incredibly difficult and stressful times. My family and I recently discovered your videos on You Tube and we have been hooked ever since. Although my spouse and I have been to Italy several times, you have truly brought La Done Vita into our lives. I am surprised that Hollywood hasn't been knocking at your door to produce the next big romantic blockbuster. Your ability to find beauty in the things that most of us overlook is uncanny. You have taught us how to become more in tune with our surroundings regardless of humble they may be. Please keep doing what you're doing. I'm convinced that great things will come your way and know that in the meantime, you have brought the world so much more joy. THANK YOU!!!

    Dear Kylie, I usually write you at Instagram, but as I´m still working (it is quite late in Brazil - almost midnight - must early morning for you in Italy) I decided to watch episode 5 here. You know, I´ve had quite a hard and tiring day, it was very scorching here and I got so many stuff from work, so much stress, emotions going more down than up and I had just had some coffee before sitting at the computer again when I came through this lovely story of the farm and the blue windows and the cannoli recipe and the amazing landscapes from Tuscany, and all the details you capture so gracefully. You made my night brighter. It was the first time I sat down to relax and do something for me, not for others you know, smth to make me happy. Thanks for that. Thanks for having helped me breathe today. I needed that so much, I need that to smile. Thanks. Hope you and Guido have an amazing weekend and please send my best regards to Egisto and his family. Love , Sil.
    p.s.: surrender to the repetition .... you´re so so right!

    Dear Kylie,
    I was just thinking about you this morning, and how much your work has impacted me and what a profound importance it has to me, and then I saw this, which I of course loved as always. I don’t usually comment but earlier this week I was having a hard day and I spent an afternoon watching all of your old videos to cheer myself up. They are so comforting and inspiring and like a balm for my soul, and I admire you so much for making them, even though it wasn’t always easy and people were sometimes very doubtful of your dreams or negative. I’m so glad you exist and I’m so glad your work exists! And I’m so so glad you are getting more success lately, you deserve it so much! But I guess this morning I was think about what a shake it would be not to tell you how much your work means to me- how much it comforts and inspires awe and peace in me, and inspires me in my own dreams making CZcams videos and most of all writing, as well as inspiring me with your outlook and the type of romantic, wonderful life we must never give up on. It occurred to me that there must be so many people like me who take such deep deep joy in your work but who are too shy to comment or who assume you have so many comments already you don’t need to be bothered by another one. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I am always here, always watching, always deeply moved and helped and appreciating everything you do, even when I’m not commenting. I wanted to thank you deeply on behalf of myself and your silent supporters, you are making a huge difference so thank you 🌸🌸

    Oh Kylie, your videos speak to my heart and soul. I am an Australian married to an Italian but his family think I am more Italian than he is. I make cannoli at Easter so this year am going to use your recipe. Thank you for bringing a little piece of eloquence to youtube.

    What excitement and enthusiasm you showed Kylie, for the color change on the shutters. You were like a little girl at Christmas opening her first present. I love how giving and kind you are with Guido, I am so happy for you both. The shutter colors are perfect and I can see you found them that way also. Bellisimo!

    Kylie - your art/videos inspire a longing to visit Tuscany again!! In 2001, my family and I had the honor of staying at a home in a sweet village called Nicola. It was so charming and everyone was so welcoming! There was a trattoria in the village owned by Giuseppe and his family and they were so gracious, plus the food and wine were absolutely amazing! I hope one day I will be able to go back. Thank you so much for bringing the memories of that visit back to me! Grazie!!!

    The Tuscan countryside whizzed by in a kaleidoscopic whirl of shapes and colors. Green grass and trees melded with blue sky, purple and yellow wildflowers, peachy-orange villas, brown-and-gray farmhouses, and the occasional red-and-white Autogrill, Italy's (delicious) answer to fast food

    Windy, cold and wet here so your video has warmed me up! I love how you can make anything look beautiful Kylie, and how you make a home, no matter where you are, or for how long. Those cannoli were mouth watering. I love the shutters and, as someone who, like Guido, isn't visual, appreciate your vision! Thanks too for the reminder to be mindful, even when doing the washing up! Oh and the cypress trees over the years, were just a reminder of how important it is to do things for the future.

    It is always the highlight of the week to watch your videos. It has become quite the saturday morning tradition to watch with a cup of tea in hand. Would you ever consider doing a video about flowers? The wildflowers on your table are so beautiful and so stunningly arranged and it would be so interesting to see how you do that + your philosophy about it. It would be so interesting to see!

    A little 'trick' for testing your cooking oil heat..if you do not have a thermometer ..is to take the tip of a wooden spoon handle and put it in your oil..the more little tiny bubbles that form at the tip of the spoon and oil..the hotter the oil.

That color is just ever so beautiful, it's a beautiful reflection of the sky. It's the perfect color, blue represents hope, depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, wisdom, confidence, stability, faith, heaven, and intelligence. The perfect color on your home. Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful renovations of Guido's family farm, we enjoy these every week! Take care and have a happy and most blessed Palm Sunday! You all are always in our prayers💖
