      Yeah but we italians know that most of the houses that are being sold for 1 euro probably will be demolished by earthquakes in the future and all of them require renovations for more than 50k euro. We would like to buy a house for 1 euro in our own country and make small places revive their old glory, repopulating countryside zones, but it's just not worth it. This initiative has been around for more than a decade now, and 95% of the house are still inhabited, crumbling on themselves. Sometimes new it is actually better. You like the old medieval look? You can buy mats and build something safe that won't crush on ur head at the first earthquake. Fyi we still have homeless people from earthquakes that happened 30+ years ago and we had several cases of whole population centers that fell down lately (Amatrice, L'Aquila and so on...)... There are a lot of reasons for not taking advantage of this initiative....

      Older is most often made better than new. The craftsmanship meant more in some countries decades ago and you can see it. 😎
      I love your thoughtful, respectful and most all, sensible approach to renovation for an older home❤ I too love the floor and wall tiles. And the eyebrow window accentuates that special wall in Lucia’s room. It’s wonderful.
      You were so wise to have not 1 but 3 engineers inspect.

    I hope you will accept your builders' invitation to dinner and take us along with you.

To live in such an old house, the stories it could tell, the history. It was a great idea to buy and renovate such a treasure. Can't wait for you to move in. Luce is getting so big, and she's so adorable.

    You both work so hard on your gem of a house with amazing results, and the life you are creating for Luce in this beautiful community! It was interesting hearing about the layout of old houses. I initially thought you might swap the kitchen with the bedroom for a kitchen with a view & opening onto the living room .. but it makes sense with allowing for a breeze etc for hot weather for sleeping!. So much character & history and you are finishing to a high standard. If anyone can do it, you can! I’m so happy for you.

I love all the tiles in the house. Looks fantastic. Sorry you had a damp wall but lucky for you the neighbours were contactable! I love hearing the church bells. I love Southern Italy and seeing the procession and the band. I like the shot you did of the golden light on the wall. Fantastic video.

    When you eventually get rid of the storage cupboard and extend the old bathroom, I think it would be better to put the bathroom into the old kids room. 1 door from the master bedroom and one door from the kitchen. Then the old bathroom which would be extended into the hallway, would be a great bedroom for your little girl.

I can't wait to see the final results on all the rooms and the way it's going that won't be long. Beautiful home and you already have made friends with the neighbors. I love it that there are nearby cats for Luce to watch. She really seems to love them.

Love seeing the village celebrations; not a tourist attraction, but authentic village life. Good going Luca breaking the paper balloon & allowing the children to reap the benefits of falling treats. And, love the scene of little Luce feeding the stray cats, even giving up some of her meal. By the way that sea 10 minutes away - all to yourself! Bella Vita!

      I think it will be good for Luce to grow up in a community and culture like you are providing for her, but I also believe you are likely planning on traveling at times so she will also understand there is so much more in this big world to learn about too. Bravo! I love the way you are teaching her empathy by feeding the stray cats although it seems she already has some natural empathy in her. She is a little sweetie and so adorably cute. And she couldn’t have asked for better parents.

    That middle room could be a storage room. In Croatia they call it Konoba (they very much followed Italian traditions). i remember my grandmother's house having something like that. They used to be rooms next to the kitchen and had supplies, Sugar, flour, dry bread, some vegies, some wine, spices etc. I think it is closer to that and probably thats why it was completely separated from the other rooms. Probably is your turn now to close the other door and create a walk-in closet lol Great Project guys

    • @GM-cq6ez
      @GM-cq6ez Před 9 měsíci

      Interesting tradition! I lived in an old Italian neighborhood near San Francisco, where the house was built similarly, and the kitchen was the heart of the house with a little room attached to it for those purposes apparently.

    I think I start all my comments saying how adorable Luce is. I could watch her all day! So exciting to see so much progress on your new home. Italy has so many beautiful villages; the history of the village where your home is would be fascinating to learn. I am so happy for you and soon it seems you can live there once the kitchen and bath areas are finished. I am always impressed how capable Luca is and just plunges in to do the work like ripping out the wires and then the installation of the copper pipes for the kitchen. Bravo to all the hard work of the workers, I bet even though hard work, it is a joy for them to see their work and the restoration of a lovely, old property. I wish you love always and a beautiful week. ❤

    This house is beautiful. I can’t wait to see Sicily myself next year. My family left Mistretta in 1905, I’ll be the first one to visit since then. I absolutely love the village and the vistas that you have. Congratulations!🍾

    Hello beautiful family, I love your house and what’s been done so far it’s just amazing! I can’t wait for you to move in and start a new chapter in your lives, the most adorable baby girl in the world is going to love her new home, I’m so happy for you, I have to admit that I had a little cry when I saw Luca hit and break the clay pots at the carnival, all I could think of is how far Luca has come since his strokes, you are some hero Luca and I love you, I think the children in the village loved him too for breaking all them pots! Good luck much love and big hugs to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Regarding the tiny, dark bathroom, I think it would be wonderful to change out the door for another one with a full length window, top to bottom, so you can get as much light as possible. Adding light to any space brings joy to it😊. It could either be clear glass with a sheer curtain for privacy, or a frosted or distorted glass just for privacy. I love your new little home! ❤❤

Your message - drive not let them say it can’t be done - is so important. In these days when people would prefer to criticize and tear down, you are encouraging and building up! Thank you, Luce, for loving the cats. ✌️❤️🐕

    Ciao ciao amici! How much I love watching both of you fix up your house. My Uncle, he is 85, born in Bari and came to this country in 1956, learned construction and did that for a living for over 50 years. He told me it’s not that much to fix them up as long as the building is sound and not cracked. Auguri Luca on your name day! I miss all the feasts in Italy. They are wonderful! Oh, quanta e Bella quell’aqua. I also love squash flowers fried with bread crumbs and egg. All the neighbors are so nice there. They love to see new families. Oh look at the kitties! They look so hungry! Then I see a bunch of young men almost running out with the statute of the saint. Oh my goodness they went so fast!! 😂 I’m used to see older people here carry the saint very very slowly. That was funny. I loved this video. Thank you so much for bringing my childhood back. Ciao ancora ❤

    Who could possibly think you are crazy?! Only people who have no vision, no sense of adventure. Totally agree... you have to treat those who are helping you with respect. They know things you don't know. They have skills that you can learn, from them. You treat people with gratitude and kindness and see how the relationship grows.
    Luca is right, that water is beautifully clear. Got to love the stones & pebbles and sweet Luce.
    I love animals... dogs & cats (especially cats)... it's the most darling thing to see Luce with the kittens and cats. 💛🐾

    We very much appreciate your words for the quality of Italian builders. We have done several restoration projects in the last 23 years in Tuscany and as you said the builders have always been delightful, high-quality works and indeed become friends and together we have created great teams. We are an Anglo-Italian couple and indeed speaking the language helps. I have seen misunderstandings between clients and workers but with a little patience and trust wonderful results can be achieved. Good luck with your new adventure.
