In December 2020, a 48-year-old Italian man embarked on an unplanned 450 km journey on foot after a domestic dispute.
Leaving his home in Como, he walked southward, averaging about 60 km per day, sustained by the kindness of strangers who offered food and drink.
A week later, authorities in Fano stopped him during a routine curfew check at 2 a.m., discovering he had been reported missing by his wife.
Despite his physical exhaustion, he was fined €400 for breaching COVID-19 curfew regulations. His wife later traveled to Fano to bring him home, concluding his unintended marathon.
