| Roberto, Klara and Cecilia (and Greta!) Roccatti: the best possible welcome to Italy |
Goodbye Czech, Hello Italy! Overnight at Voghera, stumbled on a flea market on Sunday morning around the medieval church and then on to the tiny hill town of Frinco for lunch with the Roccatti family.
In the early 90s my newborn agency worked with Roberto and his father Pierangelo on drinks brands, most memorably the launch of Joint whisky. We’ve stayed friends over the years and yesterday I spent a few very precious hours at the family‘s „country“ home.
A superb Italian lunch, prepared by Roberto’s beautiful Czech wife Klara, and great fun with their daughters Cecilia and Greta. As was rumoured before I set off, it didn’t take me long to get a couple of Barbie’s into my camper!
Then, under lashing rain and low cloud, to the coast at Genoa and along the Italian Riviera to Imperia, the town on the header of this blog. Arrivederci.

ReplyDeleteBottom right, those are the bonkers Abarth Fiat 600's I was talking about the other day... the boots are welded open by the manufacturer to prevent the engine catching fire! Good to see you well and on your way!
