Hi Katerina. It certainly is, spread the good word, its a great place to visit.

Hello Vario, thanks for another beautiful video of my country, which I miss so much from here in the Netherlands. Regarding the pronunciation of this town: you pronounced Montenero correctly, while on the Bisaccia there was a lot of hesitation (why "abbraccia"? (to hug)). In general, Italian is pronounced just as it's written (French is more precise as it uses more accents that help to understand how to pronounce a word. In Italian you just know the right pronunciation (and tough luck for the foreigners!)). Anyway, Italian gets tricky with the letters "cc", "ch" and "cch". But it's rather simple once you understand the sound of these combined letters: cc = ch in English (as in church), ch = k (as in kill), cch = kk (no equivalent in English!). For example, the city of Chieti is pronounced Kyeitee, while Pinocchio is pronounced Peenokkyowh (pronounced all together and not separating the individual sounds). Bisaccia is pronounced Beesacheeah (pronounced all together and quickly , with no emphasis on the final h).

Hi Valerio. Thank you so much for your feedback and help. Some of my problems occur when I am trying to film, walk and think of things to say at the same time as pronouncing some Italian words. My brain simply can’t cope, perhaps I am getting too old 😂. I hope people read your comments and benefit from your guidance, thanks again.

So glad you enjoyed the tour. I always film at lunch time, the locals don’t like cameras pointing at them.

Lovely town! I though it was in molise

Hi. Yes it is, great place for a visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed that. I wonder what the story is with the new church - was there an old one on the same site?? It's impressive!!!

Hi Leigh. Not sure to be honest, I would guess from it’s position that it’s always been the site of the church. It might have been damaged by fire, maybe it was crumbling with no foundations? Great town though, first class views and lovely architecture.

Hello Vario. You should go to Petacciato near Montenero di Bisaccia... Did you eat ventricina at Montenero?

Was just wondering if there are monthly property taxes on a house in Italy.In America I pay 1,000 USD per month which amounts to 12,000 per year not including the mortgage..We’re thinking about selling and retiring to Italy in a few years

Hi. There are always taxes to pay, depending on the value of your proper and it’s use or location. You need to contact a local realtor to get figures for any particular location. Another good idea is to join a Facebook group where people just like yourselves will be able to advise.

Hi again Vario, I forgot to translate the historic plaque: In that house Vittorio Argentieri was born. He died heroically on the Isonzo river front in 1917 while commanding, as second lieutenant, a flamethrower unit.

Hi Janet. I normally film at lunch time during the week. Most people are at work or eating. It's easier that way as people don't like cameras begin pointed at them.
