it's so sad for me that i don't understand so much in english about my country… 🙁
What a disappointment that you only present Episode 1 out of 4 of this Italian Gardens series on
YouTube.
Cannot find the other 3 anywhere from you. Sad. 😢
Would be so nice if you would (in [HD] also). Pls leave a message here in your comments about any
upcoming plans about this, so we could look forward to it.
There is another uploader that does do all four episodes, but the video/sound quality is not nearly as
good as yours.
