He introduced us to some of his friends there, and although we didn’t make pasta, but we loved seeing the fisherman sitting at the dock, playing cards and eating brasciole. He took us to the most fascinating church of Saint Nicholas. It is now one of my favorite chiesas. Georgio‘s enthusiasm is infectious, and I would definitely go on any tour he was leading.”
