[Ludie63]

i was stationed here from 1982 -1984 on the uss puget sound...beautiful area

[bassbatzmaru]

Wonderful place to live, all the charm of a coastal city and to have one of the best beaches in Italy. Lived on VIa Atratina long ago. Thanks for the images

[Aldimarvp]

You are so fortunate to have lived there. Thanks for the posting.

[msjlitty]

I'm a military brat! ha. my father was stationed there. its where I met my first love and we still remain in contact to this day. it was a wonderful experience living in another country and learning their way of life that is so different then ours. i'll go back again some day. it feels like i'm going home.

[Aldimarvp]

Thanks for the come-back. Have a great life!

[msjlitty]

I went to school in 1978-1980 in Gaeta. I miss it so much.

[Aldimarvp]

Wow, I would say you are lucky. I would love to spend a few years anyplace in Italy. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[actionstream]

This is old Gaeta Area, u mess other side of Gaeta, serapo, fontania, ariana, monte orlando, montagna spaccata, this video explain a quarter of this city

[Aldimarvp]

Yes ... we didn't realize that we only saw the old section. After we posted the video we received many comments about the other parts of Geta ... opps we missed things. Unfortunately as we came off the SS we were directed to this section. Next time we will do a better job of researching the locations. Thanks for your comment.

Hi there, wunderful movie. I am Austrian but I live in Gaeta for a couple of weeks each year. My father in law lives there and it is always great!! No German tourists (like heaven on earth)

[CountCaffeine]

I miss Gaeta! I loved there for two wonderful years...

[Aldimarvp]

Oh how fortunate that you were there for a long time. We only spent a day. We hope to "live" in Italy for a while rather than "visit".

[piccolograndeRoby]

hey thanks for posting this video! i live in gaeta and it's awesome!! :)

[enchanted910]

Wow! I never even thought that Gaeta would be on Youtube. How wonderful! I used to live there- from 1983 to July 1985. My ex-husband was there on the Puget Sound. How I loved that place. I was "homesick" for it for years and still now yearn to visit it again. I intend to one day. I would even love to have my own apt there to stay. I used to live in Viale Colle San Agata, the blue and white slanted apts going towards Formia. I hope they are still there.

[madmaxf1]

Yes Enchanted that apt still there on top of the hill

"colle S Agata"

Glad you enjoied you time there in Gaeta it is gorgeous little town that remind a bit of Montecarlo.... but more nice :) and food is awesome did you taste "Tiella"?

[Aldimarvp]

Well I hope you get there. Gaeta is a great little town with a nice atmosphere.

[glamqueenBLAIR]

Gaeta is beautiful *ç*

I go there every summer !

If you are searching a Hotel, FLAMINGO is the best !

[Aldimarvp]

Thanks for the recommendation. How are the beaches? Sandy or with pebbles? We didn't have a change to get onto the beach.

[glamqueenBLAIR]

White sand!

If you can, go to a boat-trip ! It's really beautiful ... "Fontania" is amazing !

[Aldimarvp]

Thanks. Have a great week.

[enchanted910]

God, how I remember they used to have the best iced tea in those little silver pitchers. Is the Rock Garden still there?

[msjlitty]

@enchanted910 , when I went back there in 1993 it was still there.

[WaveOBabys]

thanks for the video. my mom is from Formia, the next town over. She brought me back to Italy and showed me Gaeta and Formia. It's so beautiful and everyone knows each other there. My great great uncle is on the war memorial in Gaeta. last name is Capolino. friendliest town ever & awesome food.

[Aldimarvp]

Yeah, I can testify to the food ... especially some of the deserts. Isn't it fantastic to visit where you have family roots? We are from Corfinio in the Abruzzo region and never get tired of going back there. Have a great life and thanks for leaving a post.

[JustAChristianTeen]

I was stationed in Gaeta at the Detachment in 1987/1988. I worked in Security and patrolled all over Gaeta. I loved every minute of it. I can't wait to go back - I want to take my son (I'm on here under his name).

[Aldimarvp]

Well, I hope you do take him. Italy is simply fantastic ... as you know. Thanks for the post.

[dandi22]

Thanks for the video. I was on a ship homeported there for six months back in 1975. The USS Little Rock. Lovely town full of warm and charming people. Beautiful scenery and great food. I hope to return there one day. Great memories. :)

[Aldimarvp]

Thank you for your comment. Boy I would love to live there for 6 months ... maybe next year.

[tzar103]

Vicleaf,its nice to know someone else that knows how beautiful Gaeta is,I used to live in Via Independenza in 1978-80 known to the American sailors and English people as Piccolo Alley,a wonderful little place full of local produce,clothes,shoes etc and the people in Gaeta are lovely,you must visit it again Aldimarvp

[Aldimarvp]

Thank you, yes, I hope to spend a lot of time in Italy as soon as my wife retires and we can be there for more than two weeks at a time. We try to go at least once a year.

[vicleaf]

I know Gaeta very well. It's a great mid-size town where to live. Beautiful, scenic, with so many history and archaeology places to visit. The sea is beautiful and the food is delicious a mix of Neapolitan and Roman culinary tradition. The countryside on the mountains just few miles inland from Gaeta is absolutely gorgeous, very Mediterranean, with small villages on the hills and mountains to visit.

[Aldimarvp]

I have read so many great comments about Gaeta that next time I will set aside more than an afternoon to visit there. Thank you for your comment.

[tzar103]

Aldimarvp,you have captured Gaeta as lovely as I remember,I wish I could live there again,if I win the lottery unless I get any offers (only over 50 need apply ha ha)many thanks once again

[Aldimarvp]

Hi. Thank you for your kind words. It encourages us to make more videos.

[crimi7]

hi aldimarvp,thanks for the video,the girl on the "motorino" with the yellow helmet is my cousin.she,her boyfriend and her dog now are famous all over the world!!!

[Aldimarvp]

I am so glad to give someone a few minutes of fame. The scene is so "Italian" I love it. May they enjoy that wonderful place.

[DorothyMBrown]

to TMOGaeta. My granddaughter and daughter-in-law live in Gaeta and I have visited there three times. It is as beautiful as it looks. We live in Maine USA and haven't been back since March 2002. Miss the nice people and the girls. Great video!

[Aldimarvp]

Thank you for your comments. I am pleased it brought back fine memories.

[TMOGaeta]

Bravo Aldimarvp.

I was born in Gaeta and I live here since 1962...

You gave to the youtube audience a nice view of my town.

Thank you!!!

If you want to visit my site you'll find a lot of video about Gaeta.

We are the only TV of the town.

I hope to see you soon in Gaeta.....

[Aldimarvp]

Grazie a lei per la sua risposta.

[SCE2AUX]

Lived there on the USS Belknap 1991-1993. Fantastic town and people.

[Aldimarvp]

Wow, that sounds great. We have been back there only twice, and only for a day.

[EJL88]

An ocean away, but forever in my heart. Thanks for the memories. I miss living there!

[Aldimarvp]

You are fortunate to have lived there. So far all we have done is visit. But our time to live in Italy is hopefully approaching.

[EJL88]

I count my blesings everytime I remember. Living there was an experience I will never forget. The people, the food, the city... everything was perfect. The quality of life was so much better there. At times a little difficult, but the good far out weighed the bad. Ciao Ciao

[Aldimarvp]

Thank you for your post. I am delighted to share my experiences.

[tzar103]

lovely video,brings back wonderful memories
