Hands up: I enjoyed the DITL of Francesco video, but that's probably because it wasn't about Nicki. :LOL:

Just watching the latest video, anyone else noticed she referred to them being married? I thought they weren't?
Must have missed that! Maybe they had a quicky wedding and the road trip is the honeymoon 🤣

out of curiosity I see Skye Rispoli is active (a bit) in instagram. She can start a utube but with what content? Nothing I can think of.
I mean you could say that about a lot of youtube content (her mums now included) which is basically a lot of nothing 🤣

I think her hair is naturally quite thick, I noticed it in video one time when she was cutting her own hair. I think she gets Botox, the distance between her eyebrows varies.
Definitely botox, her hair does look different though

I find the excuse "when we're old and cant manage the steps anymore" a bit of a joke really. I mean Carlo's parents are old .....they manage...we see old people all the time in her videos......they manage...... theres a lift being installed isnt there?....the truth be told Nicki just wants out of Positano.....she doesn't like the tourists or the busyness of it.....she doesn't like it if people stop her because they've recognised her, because the truth is she's nothing like she trys to portray and is really a bad tempered snobby English woman who hasn't integrated particularly well even after all these years. She wants out.
I'm defending Nicki, but I don't feel it's a joke! Carlo's parents don't manage.....they basically stay in the apartment 24/7. Carlo has said that his 80+ year old father hasn't been to their place in years and doesn't leave the house because he can't manage the steps. His mother leaves occasionally, but the family brings them everything they need. I honestly don't think that's any way to live, being cooped up in your house like that, a literal shut-in. The lift being installed is next to the cemetery and was installed because there are so many aged people in the town who couldn't get there to honor their loved ones. Carlo and Nicki would still have to walk up and down maybe half the steps, and it's nowhere near their house. I'm not sure what the parking situation will be like for residents (allowed or not?) in whatever lot there will be for cars/scooters for people wanting to use the lift to get to the cemetery. There was a serious lack of parking in that town and it appears worse now.

I've been to Positano - it's been about 9 or 10 years - and I have to say the steps are pretty rough to take when you aren't used to them and while I wasn't there in the height of summer when it's the hottest, it wasn't easy in May when I went and I'm in fairly good shape. I've watched several travel videos of people while they're in Positano who are walking to get to Air B&B's and the first thing all of them do as they're searching for the house they're renting is complain about the climb up the steps to reach their destination! MOst of them stop along the way and sit down to rest. In the heat, it's just got to be brutal.

Clearly 2024 will be all about Tuscany....not as exciting as Positano although Nicki has been struggling with winter content in the last year. I too started during covid and then continued...it was a Sunday morning escape to another world...I like the way she edits and uses the music and Positano lends itself to such content. I again wonder about Skye and Nicola and her future....I would think at her age she would want more. I don't mind Elizabeth and she seems to work hard with her husband. Her children have a unique exposure to Italian as well as Austrian culture and I can't say anything negative about her. I too enjoy Nicki's Dad and for his age he is doing very well. I will continue to watch but it no longer the escape it once was..renovation no matter where to me is boring and while the landscape of Tuscany is beautiful not the same as the coast.

It made me laugh when she talked about wanting a place of her own. She already owns a flat in London and a cottage in the south (although think she said she was selling or had sold one to buy the Tuscany house). It seemed a lot of waffle in that vlog justifying why they're doing it - basically they just want a second home.
Oh I thought she'd sold the London flat now and that is what's funding this house.

:oops: Oops, sorry - my second post was too soon after the first and they merged into one

Sorry @Sabbie and @emm if your "like" doesn't apply to the added bit.

nothing but more and more shopping...some lampshades (discount thanks to vlog) that really don't even fit...
plants that she admits will die as they will be gone for a month or three weeks (she said both ) and of course
the highlight about the ugly furniture. Personally I liked it better as Carlo bought it. That fabric does nothing for
the pace...nothing.
Here she goes talking about the ugly furniture makeover. I haven't watched it yet..

Someone in the comments for this week's video mentioned Carlo as her husband. I have followed for quite some time and I don't think they are married or did I miss something? No one corrected that statement including Nicki.

This is truly awful on her part. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best - if he's putting in a considerable amount of work to this property, then he needs to either be paid for it or have claim to a certain % of the property in my opinion.

It's suspicious enough that I honestly wonder whether a break up is coming. Tin foil hat moment here, maybe, but I don't think Carlo is a stupid man at all. Nicki gives off the impression of being rather obsessive and really quite bitchy, so I can only imagine that going into overdrive if she was dumped. All this moving to Tuscany, having her own home - it's a quick and easy getaway for Carlo if need be.
I have never paid that much attention to their history but Nicki had a flat in London and was that sold in the last couple of years? I got the impression she had money to invest and chose Tuscany. I assume with their arrangement that finances are somewhat separate and in all honestly their living space in Positano is very spartan and small. Assume she will do Tuscany more to her liking. It is a unique arrangement. I always wonder how people like Carlo's parents remain housebound and even get medical care with access to the homes so limited. As lovely as Positano is on the postcards those crowds daily for so many months make it a very undesirable place to live long term. And those steps look just awful to have to do with luggage, groceries and just for daily living...daily up and down..down and up. I always wonder where Sky will end up...right now just following along in her mother's tracks but I think she wants more. For Nicki and Carlo I see no break up...just lots of time in different spots but Sky...I wonder.

Exactly, the only thing I can possibly think to make this make sense is that she is hoping to document it as a total disaster for views?
