Man fined for walking 450km after arguing with his wife
A man has been fined €400 (R 7 328,84) for breaking curfew rules in Italy after walking 280 miles from home following a row with his wife.
The unnamed man, from Como, hiked 40 miles a day with no water, telling police he was trying to calm down after having a row with his partner.
Officers picked up the 48-year-old at 2am in Fano, a small town all the way down on the Adriatic coast.
At first, they didn't believe that he had walked almost half the length of the country, but after speaking with his wife, they discovered she had reported him missing a week earlier.
According to reports in Italy, the man was extremely fatigued and told the authorities he just didn't realise how far he was walking at the time and he had only intended to go and clear his head.
