Day 4 - Part B


Had dinner at Giuliani Basso’s place (Vulnetia).  Great meal!   Bill had the town special which is anchovies casserole with potatoes and tomatoes baked.  Of course I had more of the local pasta with pesto.  After the meal Giuliani came and sat down at our table as did 2 others (Aussies) and had a philosophical discussion about cultures and the way business in Italy has been compromised by catering to tourists. Our cheesy closet with a detached terrace rented for the same price as his spacious artfully crafted (personally built) apartment. The Aussie couple met him 4 years ago and have rented from him ever since. After dinner they took us up to see the unit. Quite impressive. Apparently, some American couple vented on TripAdvisor about one of Giuliani’s properties unjustly (complaining about having only one bathroom or some such nonsense) without even talking to Guiliani first.
