A Busy Week in Tuscany: Food, Friends & Village Life!

By



Join us for a busy week in our medieval town of Vicopisano, Tuscany!
We caught up with friends, enjoyed aperitivi, and visited the Fortress of Brunelleschi. We explored local shops, tried Tuscan food and wine, and fully embraced village life.

The highlight of the week was a musical concert directed by Andrea Bocelli’s musical director — an unforgettable experience right in our village. Between friends, food, and local adventures, it was a week packed with real-life moments in Tuscany.

If you love Tuscany, Italian food, village life, and live music, this video gives you a true taste of life in Vicopisano.

Highlights:

Aperitivo & Tuscan cuisine

Brunelleschi’s medieval fortress

Vicopisano village streets & shops

Music school turned theatre performance

    Are the Bernini brothers' twins? You both have such a wonderful life together. All the hard work you've put into to the house and property really shows. Everything is simply magnifique. I'm sending loving and peace-filled thoughts to everyone.

    Oh Marie . . . top of my list of my most favourite composers is Guiseppe Verdi. I have for 65+ years, a great love of his opera "Nabucco". While in Rome in 2017, we attended a concert where one of the items was "Va Pensiero". It was so emotional and I had (silent) tears streaming down my face by the end of it. Added to this Opera-lover's experience, we also attended a concert in one of the churches in Lucca where we were staying. The entire concert was devoted to the music of Puccini., another of my favourites. It just seems (in my world anyway), that all Italians are singers . . . as we heard so much glorious singing, not just in concerts but in everyday life. Even men erecting lights in the rain in Asti, were singing in glorious harmony. I obviously have a distinct bias for Italy, it's glorious scenery, it's fabulous food, it's incredible Composers, and its amazing people who all seem to have superb singing voices.

    Marie you can narrate a dripping tap into something sensational. The energy between you and Lorenzo is so natural and a pleasure to watch. 🥂

    Are your olives salty? It's like eating teaspoon of salt!. When I buy them in the US, they are so salty that I can't eat them. I get them in the deli because they look so delicious. Love your videos and wish I could live there too. Too late now. You must enjoy it enough for all of us who will never get to visit beautiful VicoPisano.

    So beautiful to be a part of the concert performance. I do enjoy the out and about of your lovely Vicopisano.

    Thank you for another wonderful vlog. I really appreciate the effort you put into these very entertaining, informative and interesting vlogs. Plus when Lorenzo says to take care, I believe him.❤️ Have a great week!!

    Marie and Lorenzo, Another fabulous video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The concert was so impressive. On a trip to Italy in 2008, my husband and I visited a small museum in Venezia which featured a Verdi exhibit. We fell in love with the Verdi CD they were playing and bought a copy. We still play it today. Take care. Ciao. ❤

    Hi, I came across your channel by chance and I’m so happy I did. We have never visited Italy but watching your videos has given us the incentive to get booking and experience the magical charm that comes across from you both in the videos. Loving the look of the little markets, the beautiful scenery, and the delicious food. Have a lovely week both.
