I’m Starting Over in Italy | Life Changes, New Plans & Winter Baking Days

In today’s video, I’d like to share how I’m starting over in Italy. I’ll talk about life changes and new plans, bake homemade bread, do a bit of a New Year reset around the house, and cook a Venetian liver dish. | Cozy winter baking days.

More about me:
My name is Cory, and on this channel I share glimpses of my life divided between two homes — a newly renovated 100-year-old house on the outskirts of Milan, and a mountain retreat nestled above Lake Iseo, at the gateway to Franciacorta.

Join me as I explore my passions for home decor, furnishing, cooking, technology, cleaning tips, fashion, gardening, DIY, and much more. I also love taking you along on my travels, to uncover the most beautiful corners of Italy and beyond.

I work as a creative producer in advertising, and in my spare time, I write screenplays. I’ve just finished my first psychological thriller novel, a work of investigation.

Here you can find the illustrated children books that I wrote under the pseudonym Tina Renolf.

  1. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support. I aim to upload a video every Saturday. ❤

  2. It feels incredibly relatable to hear this sad news, but I am confident that life will soon turn in your favour and surprise you with all the good things. I also believe your book will be well-received, as people are longing for authenticity and are growing weary of shallow commercialism. Wishing you great health and may your life constantly surround you with love, happiness, and joyful moments. Thank you for your wonderful content; it brightens the days of many.

  3. Hello super woman happy new year sorry about the harsh news in the start of the new year but i love how calm and optimistic you are and trust me there’s something better for you in the future i can feel it, although it’s not the perfect start but hey it can only get better from now on have faith cory you 26 is great for you ❤️

  4. I worked 18 years for a company and 3 years ago I decided to leave. There are moments when I regret it, I even consider to go back. But if I imagine I am with pension and I look back at my life, I realize that is better to change jobs in your life. This is how to experience if the grass is greener anywhere else, meet different people, way of thinking, characters, learning new things. Believe me, there is a different world outside. It comes with discomfort but this is the way to grow, is also not for everyone. I imagine is painful especially when is not your decision and that you bought a new house so the expenses need to be covered. But you are smart and have experience, you will find something else. Daca mai ajungi in Olanda poate ne vedem, ma regasec in multe din ca faci si gandesti, cred ca am avea ce povesti :).

  5. hola Cory! Feliz año para todos! Yo también descubrí cosas que no me gustan, y bueno es cuestión de aceptar el momento y soltar y dejar espacio para lo bueno que está por venir. Cómo dicen por aqui… SUELTO Y CONFIO! Bendiciones desde Buenos Aires, y si Dios o el Universo o como quieras llamarlo, te sacó del lugar dónde estabas…es porque algo mejor está por venir. 😊 Aca estamos en verano , y yo soy team invierno. hahahah

  6. Ciao, sicuramente avrai nuove occasioni di lavoro e vedile come occasioni di crescita personale. Capisco la tua tristezza ma sei in gamba, don't worry❤

  7. We spent the New Year in Osaka, Japan. Currently, we're in Tokyo enjoying the bright lights and foreign food.

  10. Welcome back Cory, I love your videos and missed you and Arly. Sorry about the job loss, praying that new opportunities come up for you. Lots of love from Manchester

  11. Me entristece mucho lo de tu trabajo, pero seguro que este año te irá genial con nuevos proyectos porque te lo mereces. Espero que tu libro llegue a España que seguro lo compraré y leeré. En Barcelona se celebra el día de Sant Jordi el 23 de abril, donde por tradición se regala un libro y una rosa entre las parejas, ese día autores de libros vienen y firman sus ejemplares a todos sus lectores. Espero verte algún año para que me firmes tu libro. Un abrazo!!!

  12. Hola guapísima. Los cambios dan miedo, pero yo siempre pienso que las cosas pasan por algo, así que seguro que hay algo mejor a la vuelta de la esquina. Y por favor, nunca te disculpes por tener colaboraciones en tus vídeos, ojalá en un futuro tengas más. Me hace gracia la gente que se queja, me gustaría preguntarles si ellos trabajan por amor al arte, seguro que no, que lo hacen por un sueldo. Aquí en España también hemos y seguimos teniendo unas temperaturas muy bajas 🥶. Como se que te gusta que te recomiende series españolas, la trilogía “memento morí”, “la chica de nieve 1y 2 (en breve estará la tercera) y “terra alta”. Espero que te gusten. Besitos familia ❤

  13. happy new year from canada. italy is such a beautiful country, good luck on your new ventures.
    you are such a good cook and baker. i make liver in a hungarian type paprika sauce.
    arly is so cute at the window.

  14. Привет, Кори! Ты права, наша жизнь состоит из приветствий и прощаний. И в моменты прощаний, когда на душе тяжело, нам помогают глубокие и серьезные книги, поэтому я уверена, что твоя книга обязательно найдёт своих читателей. Именно такие книги, "некоммерческие" я читала, когда мне было трудео, и я люблю их до сих пор.
    У нас есть выражение: всё, что ни делается – всё к лучшему. То есть часто перемены, которые нас огорчают, оказывается, приводят нас к чему-то хорошему. Нам не дано видеть, что ждёт нас впереди, но оглядываясь назад, я часто убеждалась, что так оно и есть.
    Я желаю, чтобы все перемены в твоей жизни тоже оказались к лучшему! Пусть этот год будет для тебя очень счастливым и успешным! Пусть твои надежды и мечты сбудутся!❤❤❤

  15. Oh, dear Cory, so sorry to hear of your loss this year, and of such disturbing news on your new year…I imagine how hard it must have been for you… But maybe it’s for the best? Maybe this new year you’ll find a less stressful job, which will complete your wish for slow living. Maybe your job just didn’t fit in what you really truly want? You know, what we truly want deep inside eventually happens, and all the reality around us just arranges accordingly. So think well what you want for this year, cause it’ll happen😊😊😊 Wishing you to come over this challenge and to find your dream job! And I’m waiting to read your book, I’m sure it’s great!Maybe it’ll become bestseller and you’ll be a millionaire, who knows🤩Sending you lots of love❤❤❤
