Meet Giovanni Mancusou, a small-town Italian man who lives on Italy's Mediterranean coast. The wisened Calabrian invites the viewer into his sun-washed world of bright orange sun umbrellas, cool blue seas, freshly baked pastries and fresh vegetables...

Just watched "Dying from overworked in Japan" to the "How to live a good life in Italy". I realize we all have choices in terms of life. It's just the matter if you dare to choose the life you want to live , and to be the person you want to be.

Unfortunately culture plays a lot into what's considered Possible in a given country. Those in Japan cannot choose a life that exists in Italy because of a fundamental difference in work culture between the two countries

Yeah, but, I live here and life is not that good, I endorse the idea of living with less but we have a lot of problems specifically in Calabria, as much as I love it, in some beaches you can't swim due to poor or lack of filtration on human waste, there are less and less pubblic infrastructure and young people escape from this place where they are very close minded. On top of that we thrive on the idea of "bel paese" like we have a perfect life, but it is not true, it is only a lie that we tell to each other to not confront the harsh reality of my country that I deeply love and I deeply hate at the same time.

years ago, I fell in love with Italy from a distance for all the romantic reasons that one may appreciate the country and its culture. after ten years of studying Italian, working on a doctorate on Italo Calvino, and returning to the country various times, I now understand why I feel so at home there: the slow rhythm of life, the well-being (il benessere) that comes from daily espresso and late night dinners, cutting tomatoes on wooden blocks, wandering the piazza, the gentle ease of every day. I let my shoulders down when I live in Italy. I haven't found that anywhere else.

“The better life - you make it.”
Stunning, wonderful editing and cinematography, thank you for inviting us into his world. I cooked a beautiful meal with my girlfriend the other night. We'd messed up the timings and weren't able to eat until it was dark and we were ready to drop into our bowls, but the food was everything I'd hoped for. In that moment of eating I felt such peace and happiness, that we were truly blessed to have the opportunity in this life to eat such a delightful meal together. I know that a life spent cooking for friends and family, eating with them, sharing music with them, will be a life well lived.

So grateful to have lived decades in Milan, Italy, as my home base with my late italian husband therefore, been there done that as he used to hava family house in Sicily. But 3 years now that I have left italy, I am grateful to be living back here in my country, Indonesia, that is also so beautiful!!
Tears of joy. So beautiful.
Haven't we all dreamed at least once to leave everything behind, move to Italy, and live a much simpler life.
This calmed me down
What a simple, yet effective, motivation to live a good life
The simple life...there is nothing better 🙏
Nice character, unfortunately, this portrait is quite a stereotype - perhaps good for a commercial abroad. It's sad to watch always analog storytelling portraits the same people, rural places, and dishes full of tomato, pasta, or pizza. I truly hope people will start to dig better into the Italian culture. It seems to see only work-oriented portfolios. Magic doesn't come without study. ;-)

We could have all the best things money could buy, but we will never be fully satisfied. It will allways miss something. The beauty of life appears when we let go of material possesions and really start live life as it is with the things we have. I believe this is the true nature of Carpe Diem. Live life fully, Now!

Such a beautiful country! For better or for worse, history should never be pulled down: each layer is important in its own way. The hearts of those pulling down statues and destroying whatever else they can get their destructive hands on, are in the wrong place. If we destroy history, we never learn from it!

@@phoenix8998 totally, it is a country of immense beauty but not for living. The mentality is as far as middle age....the influence of Catholicism on politics is still too relevant, the politics is really corrupted, there aren't many jobs around, wages are very low, the majority of young Italians have degrees and masters and then they end up either unemployed or doing something with low pay in a total different field from the one they studied, the population is getting older and older, and cherry on top the mediterranean is one of the most affected by the green house effect ...meaning by bye mild weather while you get steamy hot summers for months and months....

Sorry to disappoint all of you, but I'm italian and I'm actually living in Germany because my country is about to die. There's no hope for anyone anymore, especially young ones. Mafia and corruption is what leads our country, nothing else. So don't let this video fool yourselves.

For real your country is far from dying. It's decades that i read or listen people saying that Italy had two or three days left before to implode. In the end you still continue to have the seventh economy in the world with an export that our deutch friends would steal if they could. We have the highest amount of family savings in the world and the second gold reserve. Well, i see that the appreciation of our virtues as money savers and good, hard workers is not enough to justify our unemployment rate, especially between young people but the choice to leave is always something personal. If you were looking for a country that believes in young people and research, must probably you took the best decision. It's understood that Germany is not, in Europe, the nicest country to live in but if you value your career more than the place you live, naturally it's ok. After that, i would never spit on my country. Your statement about Mafia Is very inaccurate, considering that Germany is the HQ of ndrangheta in Europe, since the fifties. Do you really think that you do not buy products or services owned by Mafia, in Germany? Please, you should be naive. Choose your road but have the dignity to do not paint your land as a sort of corrupted African country. Italians do not deserve it.

You’re talking like I made the choice to leave Italy myself. You know nothing about me and what I’ve been through. I HAD to leave because the company where my father works was BOUGHT by Germany, while our dear governement did absolutely NOTHING to stop that. Do you have an idea of how many italian companies are bought all around Europe nowdays? I tell you, most of it. So I don’t deny our amazing economy, our amazing talent in so many fields, from food to High Fashion, but nowdays we’re losing everything. It’s fact. I love my country, I suffer from depression because of this insane relocation, but it’s the reality that my country can’t offer me nothing right now. I can’t comeback even if I want to. I have a job here, in Italy it’s hard to find a place even in a supermarket. So the naive here is you, I’m afraid. Lucky for you that you can still have a decent life in Italy, but for so MANY people it’s not like that anymore. And what’s the point of telling me about ‘ndragheta in Germany. You are still talking about an italian mafia in a foreign country. It just means that it became stronger...

@@Aranelyn I've never judged the reasons of your being in Germany. If you don't desire to live there, clearly, i am really sorry for you. As you said i know nothing about you or better i knew nothing before you told me about your family condition but i can tell you, as well, that you don't know a thing about me and i can assure that i had my big problems in family, since the time i was a teenager, thanks to the very first economic recession. I started taking sh..y jobs since the first year at the University and i dreamt a job at the supermarket as something more relaxing. That just to pay the most important expenses. As you see, were have something in common but also if i continue to live a not pleasant condition, i refuse to condamn the country when i know that international crisis made the real job. I wish you could come back as soon as possible in your home country, with a job that can sustain you. And maybe have the happiness you deserve in life.
