I Just Found Out I'M ITALIAN

#christmas #naples #napoli

PASTA GRAMMAR NEWS ALERT! My mom just dropped a bomb on me: a side of the family we knew very little about is actually Italian. She tracked down the info of my ancestor who emigrated from Naples, which is where Eva and I happen to be heading. Time to find my roots!

The only problem is that we need to finish our Christmas shopping first, and Naples during the holidays can be... a little intense.

🎄 Buon Natale, guys! 🎄

Legend has it. Harper's great great grandfather was banished from italy for putting pineapple on pizza

May Hashem bless you both with many children and long life and health

Il discorso di Harper a fine video mi ha quasi commosso, ormai sei uno di noi

Merry Christmas Eva and Harper, sent from August to the Christmas past and the Christmas just ahead! -Bob...

As a cinematographer the husband's killin' it, since the very first video.
And Ava's just Ava, don't need anything else ❤️

I ALWAYS knew there was a reason why Harper did the "Chef Alfredo" character so well. I'm glad to end the year with this news!

Harper, your great great grandpa would be so proud to see you with your beautiful Calabrese wife eating cookies outside of his apartment! 😆 But you are right - DNA doesn't matter when you are experiencing a wonderful culture! ❤Buon Natale to you and your family !!

Eva asking aren’t you Italian? to Harper made me laugh. You two have such a sweet relationship. That is so cool that you got to see your great great grandfather’s house! What a cool experience! As a European American mutt I’ve always wished to have some stronger cultural roots. Buon Natale!
PS Mamma Rosa’s Christmas village is so cool!!!

A guy I worked with recently showed up with some hot peppers. They didn’t look like jalapeños or Asian chilies 🌶️ so I asked him. He said they were Italian hot peppers that he grew himself.

So I surprised him with my knowledge of Italian hot peppers by telling him they were Calabrian. He said “I’m Calabrian! How’d you know that?”
So I told him about your channel 😂

Caro Harper such beautiful moving words and so wise. As a Neapolitan born and raised now living in Fl I could not agree with you more . In the south of Italy you feel welcomed and loved

🎉you two are so enjoyable to watch. Just discovered you. Binging. Waiting for my wife to get ready. Then off to an Italian grocery store in 🇨🇦.

Wonderful video again folks. I spent a month in Naples doing a play there, Questi Fantasmi which was translated as SOULS OF NAPLES by Eduardo De Filippo. He is considered the poet laureate of Naples, and even though we did the play in English, the whole audience, knew it, and even laughed at the punchlines ! It’s an amazing city for sure.

[FleaChristenson]

So WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS, they’ll be even MORE Italian! 😁 And I love Eva’s coat!!

[andreagibson]

You give us tours of Italy that we would never have seen otherwise. So glad you have a slice of Italian in you Harper!

I did the DNA test last year and found out my Great Grandfather was Italian from Molise. I enjoyed your video about the area, the best! I was always interested in ancient history of Italy and Greece. I love all your videos, but the one on Molise was special to me. Our family town was Frosolone and was nearly destroyed in a earthquake in the early 1800’s. ❤❤❤❤

This is the best one ever. Eva...Italy is a big place. It's okay to share one block with Harper. You are the best, Eva. Embrace the spirit Harper. Keep eating the food and love the one you're with. Have a wonderful Christmas!!

The fact that your great, great grandfather came from Italy in 1899 isn’t that strange and wasn’t that long ago - when talking about family history. My paternal grandfather came to USA from Sicily in 1897 (dob 1873). I remember him well. I’m a young 68. I’ve been to Sicily and visited the house he was raised in and have met extended family. And yes, the welcome has always been warm and caring.

You two keep up the good work - please. Buon Natale.

I love how the two of you encourage your viewers to visit and explore Italy for what it is, not just for familial connections or history. There’s so much culture (both old and new) in your videos, that hopefully it gets more people interested in exploring new places and meeting new people in Eva’s home country (and Harper’ adopted country)! Thanks for sharing the shopping experience at the marketplace - apparently last minute holiday shopping is a madhouse regardless of where we live. 😂

I'm 1/4 Greek, but when I'm in Greece, Everyone is family!!! Good to find that out. It gives to the soul of who you are.
