Default Our Italian Brotheran

Brothers. Just wondering if we got some Brothers of the Asylum that live in Italy. I'll be heading out with my girl soon and figured if there was an opportunity to kick back and relax with a smoke, in Italy, with a Brother of the Asylum, I'd be hard pressed to miss that chance.

I'll be in Naples this summer, guess that misses your trip...! Where & when will you be heading out?

A good buddy of mine is stationed there, but actually spends more time around Europe than he does actually in Naples. He's a cigar smoker, but not on CA

When over there if you have the chance to get to Sardina, there is a great smoke shop in the city of Cagliari. All you have to do is ask someone and they'll know what your talking about. Of course when I was there 20 yrs ago it was a popular place and you would meet people from all over the world...just adding my

Leaving Monday.

I'll be in Venice, Florence and Rome. I found a LCDH in Rome that I'll be hitting both in the beginning and end of our trip.

Sorry, no time for Netherlands this trip, tho it's on my bucket list as I'm part Dutch and would like to check it out.

Thats plenty of time for Milano... there isnt much to really see there.

One "dont miss" for Milan is La Cenacolo. You might recognize it below:



It is located at Santa Maria della Grazie church in Milano, and reservations (especially in the summer) are required at least three months in advance.

It is not to be missed!!!

I met Gino (Mr.Italy) at Shack last summer. I don't remember what city he lives in, but he made the trip across the pond to attend Shack Herf VI.

Here's his inmate profile link:

Doesn't look like he's been on CA in a while. He's a great guy. Shoot him a PM.

Gino lives in Avellino, just south of Napoli (Naples). About 3 hours south (by car or train) from Rome

Thanks Mike. I would have thought we had more Brothers in Italy but maybe not. Maybe I'll do some recruiting while I'm out there!
