So here we are, in the town of Marostica, where there just happens to be a life sized chess board in the piazza…

Where once every two years they play a tournament with people in period costume playing the chess pieces. It’s on this weekend!

We arrived here after spending some time with my Zio Bepe in Lugano, another stupidly beautiful part of Italy overlooking a lake, a medieval Castle and a few churches. Nothing special really…

Today we’re headed to Bologna to meet Paul for a night, before moving again to Rimini to fulfill a lifetime dream of seeing a MotoGP in Italy!
