Man walks 280 miles to calm down after fight with wife
An Italian man walked for a week after a fight with his wife. The man walked 200 miles until he was stopped by police in Fano and fined over $400 (Rs 64119) for violating curfew rules.
According to local reports, the man went for a cool-down after an argument with his wife and ended up trekking over 280 miles, only to be fined for breaking quarantine curfew.
While speaking to authorities the man told them: “I came here on foot, I didn’t use any transport,” adding that along his lengthy journey, he “met people who offered me food and drink”.
“I am okay, just a bit tired,” shared the man, who became known as the ‘Forrest Gump’ of Italy on social media after walking a total of 60 km (37.2 miles) per day.
Authorities told a local news outlet Il Resto del Carlino that when they found the man “wandering aimlessly,” he appeared “lucid and focused”.
The police checked the man’s ID and learned that his wife had reported him missing. Authorities then contacted his wife, who travelled to Fano to get her wandering husband. The man waited in a hotel until she arrived.
