DOLCE VITA DIARIES EP 9: Italians Debate the Meaning of Life
Thank you for coming back to my channel. This episode I meet a poet and a philosopher on the beach in Positano on the Amalfi Coast in Italy and end up debating the meaning of life and happiness and love and nature and religion. 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:

You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

Lass?
This reminds me so much of my country Argentina. Most of us are sons, daughters and grand and great grand daughters and sons of Italians. Our conversations are just like that, very heated and loud but at the same time very respectful of one another. My husband (who is American) always thinks I'm fighting when I talked to my friends because of our volume and mannerisms LOL.
If these two Italian men think that they are isolated from others, they should live in the United States. I don’t even know who my apartment neighbors are. That is sad. No one talks to each other. Perhaps it’s time I leave the United States and move to Italy were people actually talk to each other!

When we were in lockdown we even wrote posters all over Italy and hanged them on our balconies so that we could see that our neighbours still wanted to communicate with us and we would all get through this stupid pandemic together. When I ived abroad I really missed this kind of "connectivity".

They meant the villages are isolated so the people interact more because they are isolated together. It's more about tolerance of each other and not being a separatist and putting up walls that divide yourself from others. Religious walls, political walls, racial walls, etc. America is filled with people who hold to strongly to their ideologies that's where the intolerance comes from. Identity politics is a mental illness that many western countries suffer from. It's a like a kid with a toy, if you take the toy away from the kid they cry because they have identified with it. We're not kids but we act like kids by holding on to ideologies and letting them define every aspect of our lives, we then became a slave to our own opinions. It's time to put down the toy and live a good life by being a little more accepting of others differences and being good to people.

No, no, no... perhaps its time for you to try and break the ice with your neighbours : ) ...this is not a reason to leave to Italy =) The universe needs little beams of its light all around this beautiful planet : )
Please don't ever ever ever stop making videos! You are such a jewel on KZread (which is unfortunately full of crap nowadays). Channels like yours should be kept and valued always. I love your work!

This was so beautiful. Many of us are guilty of this type of intolerance, myself included lately. The past few years I’ve grown more and more accustomed to seeing the other side as the “enemy”, and it has started to affect friendships and relationships. Seeing these two men remain friends even though one of their most fundamental beliefs are completely different truly is eye-opening and inspiring. Just what I needed this morning. You always manage to hit the nail on the head - thank you again, Kylie! 🌻

Brooke, I’ve been experiencing the same thing as you, more and more these last months. So much so I’ve wondered if I need to move overseas to counteract it all.
Love the way I could catch a true Naple’s accent when you were speaking... you are getting the inclination, love it. Thank you for portraying so gracefully and beautifully my country, Italians don’t do it enough and I am so so grateful that an artist like you is celebrating life through the beauty of Italy, thank you
I love this, It's so true - being able to disagree with certain concepts/opinions that others have but still love one another. If we only surrounded ourselves with people who agreed with us and fit into our ideal narrative life becomes boring and an echo chamber. We need a good challenge every now and then ;)
What I love about this is 2 people with very different views on something as antagonising as religion, remain excellent friends. That would not be possible in many societies. I would love to have heated debates in a beautiful location.
"Debate without division" .... Love that!
Thank you l Love the spontaneous romantic and philosophy and art in the lovely conversation 💗 in the voice of Audrey Hepburn Gary grant is Sophia Loren with Marcello so creative And Dean Martin singing 💗💗💗🥰
kylie your such a beautiful soul you are spreading hope, joy and happiness, thank you for sharing those wonderful moments. making the day much better. God bless you.
My love lives in Positano and I’m missing him terribly. Thank you for your beautiful videos, they mean so much to me during this difficult time ❤️
Love Love Love !!! Where there is Love there is no fear. I love the respect these 2 men have for one another and the topic of conversation. How refreshing to be able to agree to disagree on such a controversial subject and walk away together knowing their friendship is just as strong after as it was before the discussion. Love your work thank you for this video

Such an elegant language very expressive I certainly would like to learn it
Beautiful. "Debate without derision." I miss the art of a good conversation, which I used to enjoy over a good meal and good music. It seems so lost nowadays, often a casualty of divisive politics. But it can be found again, if we look for it, and are willing to talk without judging others. I am a Christian. I believe the Bible and love Christ with all of my heart. I respect these men and find their views very intriguing. It troubles me deeply when I see people misuse my faith to condemn and judge others instead of living as examples of the faith and being willing to listen to people and understand their points of view.

Well said. It bears repeating that Christ always lead with love and kindness; not anger, judgement, and condemnation. He commanded His followers to do the same.
Kylie it is such a joy to see the passion you capture and share with us.be it travel,food,people,love or just life its self Your hard work and sacrifice that make these little movies transport us from the mundane Thank you for being you
Really warmed my heart watching this, there is something so amazing about the way Italians articulate their thoughts... especially these men who have seemingly experienced life from different perspectives
Indeed, the art of debate coupled with the respect and even appreciation for the opinion of another is a gift - Italians do this well as you have so beautifully shared with us, thank you
Another masterpiece Kylie. It is great to hear the perspective of the elderly because they are wise. For two friends to have a civil debate it shows their intelligence and respect for each other. We need to walk this earth with an open mind so we too can become wise. Positano is such a beautiful place so it is great to see more footage while you were there. Thank you for your work. Lots of love from Canada.
Love love love love everything and anything about this video. Thank you for sharing and thank you for letting us forget about the chaos nowadays and dream a little♥️♥️♥️
I love this, beautiful beautiful beautiful !! I love other people, missing human interaction... just even in bustling coffee shops... this is amazing, keep going Kylie we are learning so much ❤️❤️ xx
Kylie I've been watching you for years now, you never fail to impress me. From your sense of beauty to how freely you are able to communicate with people. Truly amazing work, please keep going. You create balance between the ugly news we watch daily and the beauty you create here
Kylie, I cannot begin to describe the feeling this video has brought to me. THANK YOU THANK YOU. I have never been so moved by ANY youtube video as much as yours. Thank you for sharing your experiences, your passion for living, your love for humanity, kindness, simplicity... This video literally has changed my life in many ways!
Your videos make me fall in love with life. The simplicity and beauty of small things. Thank you for sharing your videos, Kylie!
I’m so glad I’ve found your channel, it is exactly what I was looking for ❤️ you’re an amazing soul, keep going with your work!🥰
Such a beautiful decent video which taps directly into the heart, thank you again ❤
It was so much fun listening to these guys. The start was such a relevant discussion given the current environment. Wonderful job Kylie! Bravissima!!
Wow amazing love it! And wow your home at the end locking the door, it’s in the side of a mountain how amazing! I’ve never seen Italy this way, love learning the culture!
What a beautiful encounter! I love how passionate Italians can be and these gestioni delle mani! Absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for your work! (By the way your top looks amazing and you look so beautiful and healthy!)
I applaud your efforts in sharing this most thought provoking exchange....I always love seeing and listening to your wonderful videos!! Hope you have a great week Kylie and look forward to your next video!!
Hearing them discussing while the cicadas are singing it's just pure joy, like a life you never stop living. This video is so reminiscent of my home country Albania, the village, the people, the arguments, everything is so humbling and real. Sent my love from nyc
Above all italy is the best country in the world and italians are great people with all the humanity they have. I lived with them 3 years it was the best with a good memories
Thank you for sharing. I spent a short week in Amalfi last fall. It was perhaps the best vacation my wife and I have taken, and we have been to Italy a few times. Love every trip. We loved Amalfi, especially Positano. Love the people so much!
You are such an inspiration! I love Italy too 🇮🇹. And thanks to you I'm learning so much 🥰. May God bless you!!!! Thanks again 😘

Beautiful. Enjoying your content very much and this specific video and message are particularly touching
good morning kylie been following your travels since the start of this horrible virus, and you bring such fresh and beautiful memories of italy which ive longed to restart. im a person who dont always agree with people in politics and religion, at end of the conversation i always say agree with you to disagree and walk away , but there are people who i know have a passion or a mental obsession that its a sickness to stick to their idea and if you disagree they call you a kook or a morally corrupt individual. keep up with your smile and laughter because its infectious . hope beautiful italy gets back to inspire .
Absolutely loved this video! Would love to see more of these types of debates and interactions especially with those 2 men! ❤️
Profound video you have created! You are brillant and original! What you shared with us with these Italian men are so true!!! Thanks for giving us such great content always in your videos and for taking time out to edit and post them, for you are sharing with us culture and values besides beauty of our world! You are such a Beautiful Soul! Anyone who has you in their life in any capacity should consider themselves BLESSED!

Thank you Kylie for your videos, there are so uplifting!!!! I'm here stuck in my appartement, it's raining and now I feel like I've just had a holiday in Italy! 😍🥰🥰🙏😇🤩🤩☀️Thank you for bringing joy and sunshine!! 🍀⭐️💖☀️🙏🙏
This conversation was priceless. Both very smart men but with very different views. Kylie, you handled that beautifully. What a wonderful afternoon on the beach discussing the meaning of life. 💜
I love these guys! True sons of Magna Grecia. This was a magnificent display of the Socratic Method of debate. Italians cut their teeth on it. Antonio reminds me very much of my late father. Thank you very much for sharing this Kylie.
This is amazing, in absolute love with this channel

Whatever the substance of the conversation might be, the real value lies in the spirit of the conversation. And your conversation had great spirit. It's a great thing that you talk at length with the older people in Italy.
kylie , i'm so selfish , i never want you to leave italy. i enjoy your video's so much. me and many others get to see and love italy through you. thank you , god bless.
Kylie, this was an amazing video. You are such a beautiful spirit with a great passion for life that is expressed through your poetic tone. Your optimism and vigor is infectious as well as your curiosity and pursuit for what is good and beautiful! Keep up the good work :).
This is beautiful. Thank you!
Your channel is binge worthy ;) LOVE LOVE LOVE
The words you spoke at the end Kylie .... absolutely agree!
Thank you so much Kylie and good hearted Italians
Buongiorno Kylie Buongiorno a tutti :) Guardo il video dopo, quando finisco di fare la spesa. Spero stai molto bene. Grazie!
Thank you for creating so much art for us!!!!
Kylie, your channel is enjoyable while also being educational. Growing up in an Italian family in the Bronx NY I remember weekends on my grandparents back porch while the men played cards, drank vino, ate peaches and loudly discussed everything from politics to who made the best wine. We love visiting Italy as we are going back to Rome this year for three weeks and plan on just allowing ourselves to become immersed in tutto Italia e Roma. Keep up the great things you do so well ciao gennaro
Great work! You are contributing so much for a better world.
This makes me miss my grandparents and makes me wish I could book a trip to Italy. So great.
Hi Kylie, I love your passion and enthusiasm for life. Your are certainly an interesting young woman.
concuerdo completamente con usted, y amo tu forma de ser y de pensar, me identifico mucho contigo,
Amazing video K💕, keep doing great work!

What an incredible inspiration. My grandfather was a spy for the allied forces in Italy during the second world war and the Italians wanted him to stay there because he had such a beautiful voice. He could speak Italian fluently and loved everything about Italy. Unfortunately he came back to South Africa and died of lung cancer when I was only two years old.

I would like to see more of that have you filmed any other episodes within this home? Of course, I really liked the debate too, it's interesting to hear what and how other people think. Thanks!
