Just For Fun: The Tall Guy


Are you going to the Stresa market in Piazza Capucci this Friday? If so, and if you enter or exit from Via Bolongaro, then watch out for the tall guy! He's there every Friday, just next to the ATM, standing still, silent, and statue-like as people walk past him, many totally unaware of his presence. Then, he chooses a victim... someone in conversation perhaps, or someone standing with their back to him... and suddenly he will spring to life with a pat on their back or a tap on their shoulder. He causes many a good scare and lots of loud screams and laughter. And so I warn you about him. Watch for him and let him choose another victim... you just go and enjoy the market!


But if he's made you smile, drop some monete, some coins, into his can; he'll appreciate it!
