I share this sentiment 1000 percent, and I know we're not the only ones. I only hope and pray they continue to document---not just for the sake of sharing their beautiful stories, culture, and cuisine, but mostly bc these women deserve to be showered w/the warmth of loving attention & caring company.

I 100,000,000% agree. All of my grandparents died before I was 14 and my mother in 2019. I only have anecdotal recipes from them. One is from "the Italians down the street" my aunt chewed my ass when I made it for them because I didn't "brown the beef" for a dish that was going to take hours. Now that's how she makes her spaghetti sauce.

She rejected her suitors at a time where unmarried women were pitied or frowned upon, looked at suspiciously. She's a role model. Go your way, knowing there is a price to pay but don't go a way because people are expecting you to do. I would love to hear stories from her life.

I think we need a spin-off series focussing on "Gardening Grannies" ... Rosina certainly has lots of knowledge to share about how to grow those peppers.

What silly man wouldn't want to live in such a beautiful home with lovely vegetables? Whimsical indeed.

Darling Rosina, you cooked my Mum's favorite pasta....you made me cry... Bless you! Wish all the best from Bristol 💐💐💐💐🥰

I don’t know what I’d like more....to have a meal at Rosina’s house or to hug her. As a young child I did not appreciate my Nonas. I loved them dearly but couldn’t understand how special they were. Listening to all of these beautiful women makes me want to visit Italy, home of my grandparents. God bless all of them!

I didn't appreciate or understand what I had waiting for me with my Nonas either. Now that I am old, I feel disconnected from my Italian heritage. When they came here, they told each other to leave their European roots behind. My Polish grandparents would not even teach my Dad Polish because, as they would say, "We are Americans now, we speak English." The Sicilian side of my family was probably the same way. If they are still alive, treasure your older parents/grandparents - you will never regret hearing their tales of the old country - it is, after all, your heritage, too.

@@silverlightx6 From what I could glean or drag out of the surviving members of my family, mine was far from that and, in spite of having a clearly Polish ethnic background competing with my Sicilian side, I found out recently that I am actually 1/4 Finnish and my Grandfather from Sicily was actually from Tuscany. These findings are mixed in with strong ties to Western peoples, presumably Celtic in origin. The intrigue remains unanswered today......

Fantastic Rosina! Such an independent strong woman! Yes, a pension of 500€ is nothing, so unfair!! Politicians should watch this channel to see how fantastic are people like Rosina and pay them an adequate pension! And for the argentinian boyfriend: his loss!

She is so lovely and adorable.

Never married cuz some dude tried to sell her land. I feel ya sister. I’ve never marrying either. I’ve got all I need with my house, some land and a few rescue dogs. I’m happy as can be. To celebrate you, I’m going to grow peppers and make fresh pasta! - 41 year old lady from SF

Agree. Single, retired woman with my own home and garden. I can cycle to the shops and manage minor home repairs. But it is amazing amongst my friends of a similar ilk how many men come courting looking for an easy retirement with someone to cook and clean for them. Agree with Rosina: there's the door.

I’m all choked up over this sweet Pasta Grannie, Rosina. I absolutely love this series and it makes my heart swell to listen to their life stories and watch and learn to make pasta. Thank you!

It’s so shocking to learn that after all those years of work she’s been compensated with a mere 500 euros per month, what an absolute injustice!

I’d take it. She has no rent, grows much of her own food, likely doesn’t drive so no car expenses. It’s not a fancy life but you get what you need. I live in Abruzzo and a lot of pensioners here live on about €700-€800 just fine because the cost of living is so low. They all own their properties and walk everywhere. Calabria is even lower.

Purtroppo in Italia è così. Molte persone anziane percepiscono pensioni di 500 euro.

@Ardoxsho

There's a minimum number of years and a minimum amount each year you need to pay contributions for. Otherwise you'll get a "pensione minima", as she does, and as I will, too, despite working since before I even left school. That's what happens to people who've spent time abroad, worked "in nero" for years... tons of reasons why it can happen, and does happen to so many people. Working on your property, of course, doesn't count as work.

The amount you get for your pension is a reflection of the contributions you paid whilst working. The least you deposit when you are active, the lesser you get when retired. It’s math

wearing her traditional dress, she looks remarkably beautiful and the skilled hands at work! Word of appreciation for her great-niece who looks after her so well!

The pride shines in her eyes! She has everything she wants and then some! brava Nonna!

Pasta Grannies LOVES Calabria

Her story is so inspiring! This channel always reminds me to be thankful my grandmas are still alive and well, hopefully for a long time. Learning from our elders is the key to happiness and wisdom.

Yay! A Pasta Auntie!

My folks also grow these sweet peppers, and they're absolutely delicious. Not spicy at all, just like a normal capsicum.

Thank you Rosina and you made the right choice. Never give up the land.

I like her smile, respect ❤️ I wish her health and a long time with her family.

Love this video! Rosina is such a sweet, endearing woman! What a strong, wonderful person who lives her life as she sees. Brava!

Those lovely, luscious peppers -- I'm envious! Rosina has a great outlook and wonderful smile. What a delight to spend time with her. Thank you.

I watched your videos without skipping the ads. I love these nonna pasta diaries.

Gli ingredienti freschi del'orto, l'olio d'oliva fresco, prodotto in locco, fanno di questa ricetta una squisitezza. E la nonna e un vero e proprio tesoro.

It’s the smile when they applauded for me!👌🏾❤️❤️ Marriage doesn’t happen for everyone and that’s okay!!! If you can’t be happy with yourself, how could you ever think you could make someone else happy? If more people spent more time figuring out who they truly are, and what’s going to make them truly happy; there would probably be far less failed marriages! I Admire her!🙏🏾🖤✌🏾

You can tell that she is a woman of character, brava

Lovely thank you. What a nice way to end the day. Cup of tea & watching the relaxing Pasta Grannies. Can then drift off thinking of pasta for dinner tomorrow.

Food breaks down the borders and diversities of the world. Food unites generations. It is thanks to people like Rosina that today we can eat dishes that derive from ancient recipes. Rosina, for me, is world heritage site. I embrace you Rosina. Cheers, Domenico.

Gorgeous and strong woman! I respect that she chose her own path rather than following other people's expectations.
