The Kindness, Generosity and Honesty of the Italians Continues to Amaze Us!

This week we decided to watch the England / Italy game with the locals at a favorite eatery, Da Cicco in Gualdo and really enjoy the game with a real Italian flavour! 

Being a Welsh and South African combination of nationalities we decided that the best option was to support Italy which was much appreciated by the Gualdonese. A great time was had by all and our newly made friends really got into the spirit of the game and became very vocal and demonstrative in their support.

Another memorable part of the evening was when we were settling up the bill, Larissa the wife of the owner and brilliant chef ( her signature dish is cinghiale (Wild Boar) ), rushed out of the kitchen in a real panic clutching a handful of Euro notes. Apparently a month before when eating there with a group of friends she had mistakenly double charged for some of the meal and had been waiting for us to come back for another feast.  Now wasn't that a lovely surprise and a real indication of the local honesty and generosity of spirit. 

Another reason we love Le Marche
