New Hellas Verona kit has just dropped! Not sure about our new signing!
And a massive shout out to my legendary running partner Cosimo who somehow gets me to run 14 km every day in the heat!
The beer before dinner beer while everyone else is in the shower beer is definitely in the top ten!
If Peroni Stile Capri is looking for a new brand ambassador I’m fully on board!
Pizza in Puglia! Think this one is a @pugliaguys.bsky.social recommendation!
Preparing swordfish for the bbq in Puglia😎 So hot here even the beach staff are passing out.🥵
