Nonna Lucia | Living Alone the Italian Way

Ciao, cara. I’m Lucia. I was born in a little village in the mountains of Abruzzo, I came to America at nineteen, and I’ve lived alone since my Sal passed eleven years ago.

Living alone taught me what my mother always knew: the days don’t get hard because of money. They get hard when they start to blur together. The old Italian women in my village had small, stubborn habits for that, and almost all of them cost nothing.

On this channel I share those old Italian ways for living well on your own after 60: easy Italian dinners for one, nothing-wasted kitchen tricks, cheap pantry meals, and the daily habits that keep a house warm and a life full.

New videos every week. Pull up a chair, and set a plate for yourself.
