“I’m OK, Just A Bit Tired”: Italian Man Walks 450 Kilometers To Cool Off After Arguing With His Wife
Angry after an argument with his wife, this Italian man made the headlines by walking 280 miles (450km) to cool off before getting caught by police and fined for breaking the lockdown. The 48-year-old man who took a week-long stroll reportedly needed to soothe his anger after having a row with his partner. While the man and his wife live in the far north of Italy on the Swiss border, in Como, he made it all the way to Fano, a town 280 miles south, on the Adriatic coast.

When the police stopped the man at 2am for breaching the country’s lockdown curfew rules, they had a hard time believing he’d walked so far. However, after checking his name, they found that his wife had indeed reported him as missing a week earlier, in the town of Como. “I came here on foot, I didn’t use any transport,” he reportedly told the police.
The Italian media reports that the man was cold and tired, but seemed lucid. However, he admitted that he did not realize just how far he’d gone during his stroll. The man told the media that he was given food by strangers during his epic walk in which he walked around 40 miles a day (about 60 km). Apparently, the walker told the police officers that he was “fine, just a little tired.”

As Italy has imposed a curfew from 10pm to 5am to manage the second wave of coronavirus, the wife who picked up her husband had to pay the €400 ($485) fine he was given for breaching the rules.

Now you know the real reason why Forrest Gump had to run 15,300 miles. Just to cool of f in a fight with Jenny
Bet this was after quarantining with his wife for a while. It really does stress relationships.
Ok... And where was he sleeping at night? He couldn't have been walking through every single night even with food and drink stops. He would have been close to death by the time they found him. He's obviously left out parts of his journey to avoid getting in more trouble with his wife! 😂
Rule number one for men: Don't marry a woman who assumes everything is your fault.

Lucky he doesn't own a car. He would be at some northern Norwegian fjord before he had cooled down. ...on the other hand he might settle there with some Norwegian lady and her reindeer pet. ...until she'll demands him do to split the house shores, stop eating garlic and learn Norwegian. Then he would slap that reindeer back to Italy and beg his wife to take his sorry ass back.
I can relate. I probably should have done this at some point in my marriage.
@Eirik Johnsbråten you should work on your anger than. Anger isn't sth bad. Use the emotion like a compass needle. It shows you that some things anger your heart/soul. So.... For the sake of your heart/soul be your own best friend/father/mother :)
