As passionately as they love, they can argue with a temperament: After an argument with his wife, an Italian wanted to let off steam in the fresh air - but it didn't stop at a small group.

  • No more pasta and amore:

    In

    Corona *

    times

    , an

    Italian

    can

    blow

    the fuse

    in

    lockdown

    .

  • After a

    quarrel

    with his wife, a

    Lombard

    left

    their house - and never came back.

  • There

    was no question of

    leaving

    , the man apparently only had to

    clear

    his

    head

    .

Como - "I'm just going to get a cigarette for a moment": He

didn't shout the

classic excuse to his

wife

on the day he disappeared through the front door outside.

With a hearty "I'm tired of it, I'm going out", he said goodbye and slammed the door of their common house behind him.

It must have been a juicy marital

argument

that upset her husband so much that he wanted some fresh air.

Because with a

small group

remained around the block of the then not - not even for a longer

walk

around the

Lake Como

, where the couple lives.

As reported by the Italian daily

Il Resto del Carlino

, the

48-year-old

ran

straight into the arms of

the

police

.

A few kilometers - even a few days - later.

He

had already covered a

total of

450 kilometers

after the

argument

with his

wife

out of anger, frustration - or perhaps a

corona-related camp fever

.

From

Como in Lombardy he

ran further and further south to the

coastal town of Fano in the Marche region

.

Limping slightly and in the middle of the night he reached

Fano

.

Because of the

coronavirus pandemic *

has

Italy's government

recently tightened

contact and freedom restrictions

enacted so that from 22 to five in the morning, a

curfew

applies.

Two police officers were patrolling when they saw the "

walker

" in the dark.

They then stopped him and confronted him.

She must have been amazed at his answer.

He comes from

Lombardy

, quarreled with his wife - and therefore went for a

walk

.

"On the way people gave me food, I'm fine, but I'm a little tired," the

Italian

continued.

He emphasized that he had just walked the whole time and

not used any means of transport *

.

A

few years ago he felt very comfortable on vacation

in

Fano

.

It's a scene that is almost reminiscent of the American cult film "

Forest Gump

".

But it could also have

sprung from

an

Italian soap opera

.

The

Lombard man covered

an average of

65 kilometers a day

on foot until he fell into the hands of the police.

They took him to the station and had the story told all over again.

The man seemed clear and sane to her.

Eventually they believed him, also because they found out that his

family had

reported him missing

a week

ago.

The officers then booked the "long-distance runner" into a

hotel room

and informed his wife that her missing - or rather apostate -

husband had

now been found.

Corona fine: Italians have to pay a lot for “little excursion”

She finally picked him up by car.

Not only the

hotel bill

is now expensive for the 48-year-old, but also the hefty

fine of 400 euros.

The needs of the

Lombard

e pay because he against the

corona curfew

has failed.

One can only hope that on his long

walk he

has gathered enough strength to listen to his wife's lecture.

The drive from

Fano

to

Como

is

faster

by

car

than on foot, but at over four hours it is by no means short.
