Hunting for Italian Property 

When my Italian grandparents built their homes in America, they stayed with the traditional Italian design themes. Separate rooms, murals, and three stories

‘Sympathetically restored’ -you’re speaking my language! That Catina is amazing.

Phenomenal property. As an artist myself, I appreciated your idea, Nick, of making it into an art school. Get people of all ages working with their hands again! As always, love your passion for beauty, history & potential.

Oh Nick with out you this would just be another property tour, rather dull and without any actual excitement. Please keep finding these beautiful houses, one day I will buy one of these wonderful homes. 🇮🇱

‘Everywhere you look are trinkets of awesomeness’. I LOVE THIS!

Oh Nick what a fabulous tour. It was like going thru a museum. So many beautiful things to see. That terracotta fireplace was amazing and the paintings were just so well done. I pictured some poor guy laying on his back on a scaffold doing them. The furniture on its own was just gorgeous too. I bet if someone had a lot of money to sink into that place it would be well well worth it. Like you said a school or a boutique hotel would be perfect. Thanks so much, again for showing us these secret places in Italy. Hopefully one day a place will be ours. Xo

“Beauuutiful knockers! They are such gorgeous knockers…” Every man should say this at least once in his life

“Broadsword calling Danny Boy”… I drifted off into another time with your historical reference from WW2 and the house being occupied by the Germans. I half expected Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood to appear! You could easily picture that scenario taking place there. Outstanding property set on grounds that are just screaming to be returned to their past glory. I am exhausted after this video with all of the potential bombarding me from every room. I can picture someone on the kitchen stoop peeling potatoes for a dinner that I hope I would be invited to. Sipping Vin Santo in the salon, in the garden, everywhere! You definitely bring out the buried imagination in all of us with these videos. You are in so many ways a therapist to us all . And…… it’s 2 settembre and you are on the cusp of 100k subscribers. I told you so. I wish I was there to celebrate with you when you reach this goal. We all will be there in spirit. Best to you Nick and thank you for a whopper of a video, knockers and all.

I just want to send you lots of love and gratitude. I dream through your videos. Maybe one day... :)

Love your joyful enthusiasm ! Thanks for sharing Nick . 🤗

Oh my goodness you’re so close to 100k. We’re rooting for you. We’ve been fans since your first video and never miss one 😊

Museum tour extravaganza. These are beautiful buildings, amazing they have survived. Wishes it will be revived. Thank you Nick.

Those twin beds and the doors are absolutely STUNNING!!!!!!!

With some experience in brewing as well as some knowledge of medieval brewing. Keeping some barrels of wine in the attic makes sense . Heat , to boost the yeast. Like atoms, the hotter the atoms get the quicker the move. The warmer the yeast is! The quicker they work. Or that's where they cultivated the yeast batches. Ether or both make sense to me.

Nick I saw the length of the video & knew you had big one to show. The fresco’s are what stood out to me, to restore I imagine cost a penny or two. I was off a bit on price today, def has potential with some deep pockets! Thanks for sharing, cheers Kirk

The CEILING and WALLS of the DINING ROOM! in fact the ENTIRE ROOM!!!!!

Love this property so much! To the future owners, I'm free to come help you clean, paint, hold your ice tea...😅

I'll buy it if you promise to serve the spider with an eviction notice 😉

Wow. If I hit the lottery, you are my 2nd call. First to wife of course to tell her we are moving to Italy. Excellent tour, Nick. Cheers🍷

what a stunning, original looking home, the furnishings and other items were equally interesting and beautiful. I hope whomever buys it does not gut the home, but will keep the original flow and design.

1.2m is a substantial amount of money, but considering the land and surrounding buildings attached to the property, I honestly say "the amount asked for is just right" True the house needs some tender caring work, though it will look magnifecent once finished

Nick, you are having entirely too much fun making these videos.😂

What an interesting property, the possibilities are endless but deep pockets needed. Thank you for showing us

Fabulous - truly outstanding! the frescos are magnificent, the spaces feel cinematic, surely it could work for location shooting! The blend of styles through the ages lend it self to multiple scenes / sets - The whole building feels like a collection of increadible timestamps - 07:21 - It's quirkily named a "treadle" as opposed to "pedal"

Stunning property. But, sincerly it need a lot of work and money. Anyway it have a lot of potential. Thank you Nick, good job

What a dream to have enough money to buy and restore and then live there with the ability tho have live in help and live live like kings and queens…my God this is absolutely gorgeous

Outstanding tour once again Nick!! 🎉 100,000+ followers!! 🎉 Well deserved Nick! My wife Stephanie & I have been watching you with appreciation every Saturday since we “found” you in early 2020. You have opened our eyes to new places in Umbria and Tuscany for us to consider when we return to Italy. Thank you, and a hearty congratulations! Cheers!

The house must been very beautiful in it's day. thanks for sharing Nick. Come hai detto, avrai bisogno di tasche davvero profonde per riportare indietro la vecchia

You could feel yourself back in time. Yes it needs work. Bring those $$ and make her shine again. Those ceilings to die for. Such craftsmanship. Thank you Nick.

Thank you for a lovely historical tour. Fabulous property! ❤

Normally, I would have lots of words. 😁 But reading through many of your followers' comments, they have summed it up so nicely that I will just say I concur wholeheartedly! Fantastic tour, Nick!

Buon giorno my grandfather funded a new building after WW 2 for a Catholic school near Bari. Originally it was for families to stay during the war. My second cousin works in the same building my grandfather donated money to build. My cousin is named after my grandfather. The school is still there. Love the historical buildings!!

Wow Nick I love the way you present every property and your eye for detail. Could we have a tour of your own property which will explain your love for detail and art . Just to get a insight. Thanks

Fantastic rummage! So much potential for someone with a serious fortune and great ideas! I loved seeing the wine cantina with everything intact, the floors and belle epoque frescoes, the beautiful garden gone a bit off-piste, and all the old original interiors and outbuildings. If I were that affluent, I'd however be a bit apprehensive to buy from a family with this (quite obvious) past loyalties. Especially as these tendencies are often very much alive and kicking in families with the history. Who and what's onnthe ultimate receiving end is important to me. It's of no consequence to the building itself though, as I see it. In fact if it was turned into a place for intellectual learning or the free arts it would be all the better! Anything in an opposing direction. This being said, in most Italian bourgeois houses you're aware of the likelihood of the political past it's represented through the 20th century. That's just the way it is in Italy. It's not France in this respect. I'm surprized this palazzo isnt listed! I wonder why? Too modern /late in a nation with such old buildings perhaps? It needs a decade of work at least, in multiple areas simultaneously. Under guidance of a good architect and proper contractor. To get everything from the outbuildings to the wells, house and landscaping in decent shape. But I'd love to see the transformation in five years! That's the only thing possibly missing from this channel, the return visit to some of these properties, once the new owners have put in some efforts to restore and modernize them! I'd LOVE that....I do realize many wouldn't be interested in opening for that, but as they did buy through you, I think some might be willing if you asked kindly at some point? It may sound like a terribly selfish wish, but it might benefit your endgame to show what transformations are possible within in a certain timeframe? I'm grateful for whatever you film honestly. This was a real treat! GRAZIE MILLE 🙏💕

Had to look up”vin santo”, now I have to get some! Intriguing that they store wine where it could get hotter, yet such a valuable variety. The property is amazing, lots of room inside and out to lead a very happy life. Actually, the price is less than I imagined. Seems a excellent Abel for someone wanting historical Italian home and lands! Thank you, Nick, for this detailed one take tour, you’re the master of them all 👑

oh wow ... i got the price! i watched this with absolute pleasure nick .... your chortles of sheer delight make this the most enjoyable property channel i have ever come across .... regardless of the property (of which i have yet to see one i don't like) i watch these now like i watch my favourite tv show. such a treat.

So lovely, so much soul. Thanks Nick

That was fun; your enthusiasm was contagious. This was a tour back in time. I would love to see this entire property restored. There are so many unique items that are worth saving, such as the terracotta fireplace; frescos; those fabulous, dark wood doors; and the vaulted, brick ceilings. Nick, thanks for sharing this property! I'm confident that when I check back next week you will have reached 100k subs.

What a place Nick! Your finds are so interesting ... It always amazes me that some of these grand properties have been 'let go', such a shame then again people get older, the times change and just the availability of money ... great work as always Nick!

Yea! 100k subscribers! Nick congrats! Sorry it took me a bit longer to see this video. Things are so busy. Congrats!! I’m so excited for you. Love all your videos!❤

Absolutely amazing and beautiful beyond words. You of course are fully present and immersed in every detail. Why would you not be brimming with enthusiasm, and so appreciative of the era? No one else could produce these videos Nick. Karl Lagerfeld suits would be rather out of place -only shorts and tee shirts please! The bedroom furniture is breathtaking,, wonderful wood. I was born in the era of wardrobes which had glass fronted drawers, "tallboys" and brass fittings. I do hope fervently the purchaser would love it all and restore everything that is humanly possible (and keep the spider, it was there before them). Thank you so much Nick😊

Haha, thanks for posting the square footage!! I was going to have to google the conversion!! 44:12 a small running water fountain cures that road noise 'problem' . love this property.

What an amazing property and fantastic commentary Nick once again. I couldn't help but think about a time when a busy family would have lived there moving through the house and enjoying life there, wonderful. Great video Nick. Thank you.

I want the liberty chandelier too!

Each one is better and better. I love the lighting fixtures and frescoes, and vaulting, and woodwork and history, and the garden-in-the-rough! Beautiful, again! Thank you, Nick!

Stunning

Well, a hidden traesure it really is! And so much history around in the building - stunning. Thnaks again for this (long) rummage. This time no Greetings from DE, but from Montelaterone (GR) ;) Joachim

Just beautiful. I love this property..

Wow! Incredible property!❤

Oh Nick.... so much... I don't know how families leave behind the influences of their ancestors... also.... I've read about German occupation in both France and Italy ... it devastates me. Thank you for this magical tour that reminds us of so much beauty created and lived before our time.

Thoroughly enjoyed this fabulous tour. The chandeliers were so unique and I would keep everything intact as much as possible. Thank you.❤👍🙏🌿⚘️🌿

This house is just so beautiful and needs a couple of museum conservators to assist the renovation effort. With the quality and quantity of fixtures it will be easy to have a sympathetic restoration. Nick, you do find some wonderful rummage situations and I for one am very thankful.

Magnificent property! Looks like a film set.

I guessed 1.550. I guess I loved it lol. I shared your enthusiasm and excitement throughout! Thanks so much for such an amazing rummage...one day I'll get there. 😍😃

Other than a few necessary updates, I would not change a thing. I love the history and character of these old property's. I love the tiles and doors.

I just love his laugh. He is so charming and the beautiful house he shows. All stunning. Please keep us engaged and full of joy with your show.

This property fuels the imagination, thank you again Nick!

I ❤ this house - have just recently found your channel and love your fabulous energy presenting these amazing properties. I would love to come and renovate an old farmhouse in Tuscany one day.

Hi Nick❤ well I have watched this video over and over and every time I see something even better that I love I even love the spider webs by the way is that spider just renting a room or is he the caretaker I think fixing up the outer areas would be beneficial if only to make it safe for a few farm animals that I would love to have I think I honestly have to say that these old farm houses are my favorite videos of yours please keep them coming if you can find them thanks so much for sharing until next time ciao

I would need many millions to fix it. Even if I only wanted to do some of the buildings. I'm sure they all are too run down to save. Every one of the doors that you shown with that exquisite wood would ALL HAVE TO BE SAVED!

well she's a beauty! and that spider is living the life in these fantastic surroundings lol but it's someone else's turn right? this place is grand! what a comeback this place could make :) everything is there waiting for some elbow grease and a few upgraded flourishes because floor to ceiling it is already classy . i was taken with the beautiful woodwork throughout, craftmanship seen in each space. the treasures scattered everywhere in there are a fun addition too. that italian country living feel about it could be truly delightful once again in this lovely find nick! your camera has captured her "soul" !

I love the history of these homes you showcase with such enthusiasm, I can feel the weight of memories written on the walls, I think of the families who lived and worked here…you make us dream about the past.

What an amazing property. It would be wonderful for a summer art or music school. Plenty of possible bedrooms, performance spaces. I would have loved to see the inside of the outbuildings. As for price - I nailed it exactly. Must be watching too many of your videos 🙂

I’ll move in just for the spider!! 🥰

Ciao Nick, I love Palazzo del Soli, it does need work, but that's ok, I would look all over for tiles from that period (hopefully) can find some and redo the bathrooms. Also redo the kitchen back to the old-world charm, with modern functionality. It has great acreage, but not sure I would pay the asking price, so it a good it's negotiable. Another great find Nick, thanks for showing it. Amore da N.Y.

This is a amazing property that I would love to have there is so much I would love to restore it and the beautiful gardens omg It would be Amazing Nick !! ❤❤❤❤👌👍😍

The collection of historic buildings is amazing. Main house is simply beautiful. It’s all a huge project, but my god the potential. It’s rough enough that it can be turned into anything one would want. I love these old properties. ❤ Something about this specific one bothers me, tho. I’m sure it’s just me and not the property. 20 acres is a great find!

Thank you sooo much you are fueling my dreams with each episode. I would love to talk to you ❤

Four mile walk completed, blueberry muffins (with an accidental cup more than required milk added-tired eyes, long week) in oven, and really looking forward to this…. Especially since Nick looks like he’s either playing a fütball match or ready to start night walking a Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. WWII history is a nice touch as well!! Cheers! And looking forward to it!!!

Good Morning Nick, from Greers Ferry Lake in Northern Central Arkansas

Notices headlamp and thinks, Nick is going to do some urban exploring.

Umbria bölgesinde, 4 kuşak geriye gidin. Çok iyi korunmuş.

Amazing historic house………

An extraordinary property with so much character, and providing such an amazing physical timeline of the family's history throughout. Wow, the potential for this building is almost limitless although my temptation as always, would be to make it my personal Italian palace and sanctuary. Thanks for another remarkable tour. By the way.... I would beg you in future to give a little more warning if you decide to film a spider the size of a Buick. From that moment on, I kept getting distracted in every room by any dark spots on walls or ceilings, and this is a home worthy of one's full attention.

Another great one!! I adore you talking to yourself, at yourself and answering...too funny. Also, that you groan over lovely objects. keep it up Nick. You need some merch of you talking to yourself "Can I?? Yes, Nick, you can" !! Where is the roasted pig for the center of that table on 1st floor!! lol What is the name of that fortified wine? Is it still made and will you die if you drink it?

It would be a shame to change the interior, it’s a walk back into time. Wonderful 👏

Absolutely in awe of this timeless treasure, what a treat! Love the chandeliers and your attention to detail just blows me away every time, the history and the vastness of the land is a beauty! Thank you so much!

This was fun Nick, thanks for the tour. Loved all the little odds and ends. Little treasures everywhere! One can only imagine what it was like in it's prime...............

Great tour Nick thought it was awesome that it was held by the Germany officer means there must have been some action around there so if i put in offer do i get the leather key hold that was in the door to got with it cus if not well offer of the table 🤔🤔🤔

Beautiful, but you had me at 'fig'....

You looked like a superhero popping in at the beginning, lol. Loved it! By the way, I am watching you from Texas. I have always loved the Tuscan decor. Remodeling our home made me want to know more about Italian designs and that is how I found your channel. I may not always comment but I do always watch and give a thumbs up. I am also subscribed. I appreciate how you film each video and the homes we all get to join you in visiting. Thanks so much for the great job, the fun, your adorable laugh, and the knowledge you share on the design aspect of each home. Have a wonderful day! :)

What does a spider that size eat? Are there missing children in the area?

Contemplated moving to Italy until I saw that spider…..

Nick the electric is old. Probably needs to modernize because of codes?

WOW.. Stunning ..

Oh I just loved that thank you so much Nick!

Congratulations!

You need a week to do a proper rummage of this property 🍻

Hey Nick! What comes after 99? 🎉

Wow, those figs looked amazing! Wish I could've picked one too, lol. Oh my goodness, the spider was huge! Glad he didn't jump off on you! It was like going into a time capsule! Exquisite! The main salon is very stunning!! Awesome!

What a GEM! I'm drooling. LOL

If i could and bought it, you'd have to come live with me to help me renovate it! 😊

Loved the shirt. I have it in pink!! I think those whopper of a spider were perhaps the reincarnated SS soldiers that infested the place at one time. Find me a newspaper...yuck on both accounts. The place was mind blowing. The ceramic stove was my favorite piece. Or was it the wooden twin beds in one of the upstairs bedrooms...so much beauty and so much history. I couldn't shake the thought of nazis running up and down the stairs on urgent business though which made it hard for me to fall in love with the place. Was a wonderful visit with you though, as usual. Thank you for your time. xoxo🙏❤

Perhaps students working on a history degree could restore the winery and actually operate it for a percentage of the product? The sad part is that the cost of restoration exceeds the value of the property restored by several times over. Even if the property were given freely, it would still not make sense to restore it as it will never be worth even half the cost. The structural cracks and settling would take 100K+ to repair, IF they could be repaired.

Nick's Private Muesum ? He wants everything! Now I want buy it.

How is the home heated?

Did that spider eat the family that lived there previously 😮

Fabulous Tour. Loved the original internal doors and windows. Great floor plan straight from the front door. Great merchandise phrases. Jacqueline

😍Love a good old rummage! Theres something exciting and satisfying about returning things to working order..What an interesting project. Id love to be young enough to tackle this. Treasures from front to back. Love it! Have a great week Nick. Thank You. 🥪☕️❤️🇦🇺🦘
