Who's
Giovanni Sonego |
|
|
The
only teetotaller in Belluno (legend has it that he
was banished from Veneto for this very reason). His
roamings in search of the teetotallers' paradise (which
luckily he still hasn't found - it must be a grim
place to end up) have brought him the length and
breadth of Italy. He would have preferred to journey
up and down, being a mountain-man at heart, and indeed
is eternally home-sick for his beloved woods and hills.
He now lives in Modena in a flat that is much too
small for the mess that he generates around him. He
is a good example of a bad husband and father. His
friends call his wife Silvia "The Saint"
and if you ask his three children about their father,
they'll answer "Giovanni who?" But they
love him all the same.
