My families store and wax museum can be found here...

My Nonno made every wax figure by hand.

I love hearing of Nonna and Nonno's stories. They worked extremely hard and raised a lively family

Came over from your sister's channel and I couldn't be happier that I did. This recipe and story resonated strongly with me as my father's parents were Italian. Polenta was served on the big board with sauce covering, with a pile of meat in the center. My father and Aunt didn't care of polenta, but his mom made them eat a path to the meat pile before they could take any. Thank you so much for reminding me of these wonderful stories.

OMG! I miss my grandparents. So many stories I will never know.

My neighbor from Italy made this and I was so unappreciative and immature I didn't give her the respect she deserved when she brought me some over..they were bad times. But Maria Cicci I love you and I pray for you if your on earth or in heaven...You were like a mother and grandma to me!! God bless you and Freddie... I apologize for my stupid ways....❤️✝️🙏

That business story is awesome. Tough times don't last, but tough people do!

I love Nonna! “We’re not gonna lose everything!” She did everything she could to make it work. ❤ What a great story of everyone pulling together.

11:43 My father and mother worked very hard to take care of five kids and we weren’t rich, we never wanted for anything, and we had a good Italian food. Thanks God. They hard it hard but we all made it. All my aunt’s and uncles worked hard. I’m proud to be Italian.

Love it too. I’m from Austria, we share a part of the border with Italy. We love Italy, the good food, the open minded people, the beautiful towns, the history. Polenta is a traditional dish in Austria as well. We eat it for breakfast in Styria, I like your Nonna😊. She is a good chef.

Hat's off to you, Nonna, both for the polenta and specially for not letting Nonno give up. One moment that changed the future of your entire family. That is what a couple is all about: supporting each other when one is down to make you both rise, stronger than before.

I'm Greek, these family cooking moments are precious.Love from Australia.❤

[annisanurhidayatiy]

The fact that you guys take turn to stir the polenta just made my day ❤

Mamma mia, nonno and nonna's story at the end of the video was very moving and proof of what it means to be a true Italian, especially Southern Italian: sacrifice, unity and stubbornness. Bravo Nonno e brava nonna. Siete veramente simpatici! Un saluto da Roma da un siciliano e da un cilentano!

My mother was from Northern Italy and polenta was a staple. My father is from Catania, Sicily. Love this channel and I too came over from Girl with the Dogs channel.

[lindahellberg]

Your grandfather is absolutely correct about the white maize meal and cooking it as a tart in the oven with whatever you feel like. It's a staple in South Africa and it's lovely.

I love this, my family also made Polenta my grandparents were Italian, the stirring is no joke we would all pitch in, warms my heart my grandparents have been gone a long time now.

Thank you for not painting the kitchen cabinets like everyone else does. I love the way your grandparents' home looks. Just like them original.
