BARGAIN OF THE CENTURY? An Italian property for less money than most cars. STUNNING!

Hello Dave Iam Enzo from Canada, I was borne in Gessopalena my grandfather was one of the 42 people killed by the nazis he was part of the resistance, the reason it’s called Gessopalena until a few years ago ( as you noticed in the old town the shining stone) they used to mine Gesso ( lime cement) at one time the town was named PietraLucente ( sparkling town) Thanks for the video and memories

We appreciate the gentle touch of your history in Italy. Rest in peace, your great uncle.

For 19,000 Euros, it IS the deal of the century! Nice. I would think you'll sell this property quickly with no problems. On another note, I did appreciate the first 10 minutes of this video. My father was in the US Army, and a history buff, a trait he passed on to me. We lived in Europe for a total of 6 years between 1960 and 1970, and I saw a number of Hitler's handiworks during that time, including Dachau, and I can assure there's a lot less left of it today than there was in 1962, when I was there. I'm glad this town has preserved their history so all can see. I'm afraid we will repeat what we do not learn from. I'm an old woman now, but I will never forget.

Italy is such a breathtaking country, and I hope to retire there one day. The Italian heroes he is talking about are part of the finestest generation humanity has ever known, bless them all for giving my generation the freedom we have known.

I feel like I've been called out. This is literally my Saturday routine [and I have coffee in hand] hahaha!

Our Saturday morning tradition… sitting down with coffee to see what beauty you’ve brought us this week. Those views don’t disappoint😍 Thanks, as always!

What a charming little home.. It's cozy and would make a great place for a vacation home. This is really a great bargain.. I was in tears when you were showing the ruins. It's to bad they don't teach this in history class for students to know what it was like to live in a war torn place... Here in the U.S. it's like they are trying to erase what happened in all history..

Dave--One of the things that sets your videos apart is the obvious love and respect that you have for the geography, the people and the history of the area you've chosen to live and work in. Excellent work as always, I hope to meet you some day.

Brilliant video, Dave. The history and tour of the old ruins was truly interesting. The quality of these videos continue to improve and impress. Bravo!

Thank you for telling some of the history of this amazing place. I think your father would be very proud of you for making the history of this town come alive for people all over the world.

I must say that you are one of the very best agents in Abruzzo, you understand the tastes of westerners and furnish good advice for upgrading and remodeling these properties to our standards. 👍🏼 Sadly you don't show many properties with a bit of outdoor space, but I suppose for the Brits looking for a second home in the sun, that wouldn't be what they're looking for... just a key and no worries once it's been fixed up.

Hi Dave, I moved from Los Angeles to Abruzzo in 2019. I live in a small village, Tocco da Casauria. Best decision I ever made, I didn't spend much more buying my house either. Unfortunately, my house is on three floors and I had an accident that has made it difficult to go up and down the stairs. I just found a small cottage, all on one floor on the other side of the village. This house you are buying is a wonderful house in great shape. Best of luck

Thank you for todays opening. Heartbreaking but fascinating. ❤️

My grandmother was a little girl In Civitella before she came to America when she was 16 .. she talked about her beautiful town and the beach …

Spectacular and incredible views. Amazing history. Lovely flat. Thanks for showing us.

How in the hell did they get that humongous wardrobe into the flat in the first place?!?!? Like you, I'd definitely knock through the wall in the living area/kitchen, and make it one area. Get a folding dining table with some director style chairs for eating, and use the majority as lounge space. Sofa bed for one of the main seats in the living area, then you can fit a few friends in. They'd best all be good friends, mind! 😃 On the second floor, I'd turn the landing room into a mini man cave, with a single bed in a bunk style over the top of a desk setup, then if I had visitors, I'd have them use the main bedroom, and I'd use the bunk bed. I'd probably look into whether or not I could replace the whole heating setup with an air source heat pump instead of the boiler, and then work out a decent place for a water heater (if needed, I'm not 100% sure how heat pumps deal with water heating), or a proper combi boiler (then you wouldn't need the water heater at all) I'd definitely replace the bathroom entirely, and modernise it. Possibly get one of those Japanese toilets that automatically does the job of the bidet too. Nice tiles, and a shower in place of the bath. New mattress for the bed, and polish the bedroom furniture and you're all good

Love to watch Saturday mornings with my sweet tea (in North Carolina)

The view out both balconies is like a painting, all those colors and shapes leading up to the bell tower in the middle - nice !

GA! It is my Saturday routine as well to enjoy your videos. I await all the stunning views and your ideas. Thx for adding such pleasure to our lives!

Beautiful region and would be an Ausome place to live or vacation.... Explore Galore!💖🎇💫
