Born to be wild

The door tings, a guest enters and a memory hits the Concierge.

Pippo and yours truly, canoeing down the Etsch.

Of course, they tipped over, and almost drowned while trying to save the paddle. A river like the Etsch does have strong current.

And there he stands, right in front of the Nightporter: his childhood friend Pippo.

Many years ago he moved to Rome and now returned for a new adventure: a standup paddleboarding tour on the Etsch with his wife.

But for the concierge, these times are over. Pippo it was nice meeting you after all this time.

stay tuned....
