Pavia!

 Here is Paolotto back in Pavia in a romantic night with nonnaLu

 Gio Nic and Alyssa go see the Milan derby at San Siro, in the Milan Ultras curve, an amazing experience

 papaTeo and mammaVale have a reunion with collage friends: here is Enrico

 Ricky Goggi as a surprise guest, and luca Perticati as a regular

 Sara, wife of Zap

 Flavio Ferrari, the organizer 

 here is Zap, nicknamed Alain Delon 

 Enea and Gigi

 cool picture, with the fab in the background, like true engineers

 fantastic reunion

 great to catch up with Ricky on old times

 here are just around the same time Gio and Lys back from the derby

 next morning: papaTeo has his usual tennis game with Miki

 lots of fun, Miki improved a lot and plays regularly

 tight game, Miki is ready for the business meeting now

 what are you doing Paolotto?

 who is going to interrupt the romance? Try it with your mouse

 papi, we are checking out nonnoCla's clothes, did you see by the way this nonnoCla creation that zia Ste found 'in cantina'?

 Mrs Smith pose

 Giorgetto likes the Robe di Kappa, one of the old sponsors of Juve

 I call the short jeans of nonnoCla guys

 a lot of stuff for everyone

 it fits amazingly well, and kids love thrifting, it's a feast!

 Alyssa is a bit down, the stadium experience was beautiful but pretty tiring

 the legendary neutrino shirt

 this looks like an amazing plate of ravioli  

 buon appetito!

 legendary San Siro, might be one of the last derbies there, they are talking about new stadiums for Inter and Milan

 in the afternoon, a visit to nonnoCla with cugina Luciana

 here is the place where nonno is resting

 let's call zia Ste to visit with us

 Giorgetto gets a little emotional, it's the first time he is here

 here is Luciana's son, 'Picci'

 he is amazingly similar to Paolotto, Luciana calls Paolotto 'my third son'

 back to thrifting again, 'these pants are dope papi'

 the whole family at work

 this is pretty cool too Paolotto, I would just wear it along with a pair of pants, if at all possible...

 oh oh, this is not going to go well, judging from the character we are dealing with, try it with your mouse

 Giorgetto nursing Alyssa, the roles are reversed!

 Paolotto goes long with the umbrella opening joke, and hits papaTeo hard on the balls...not a very pleasant experience for papaTeo

 casually meeting Francesca on the way home

 we are a bit early for the appetizer meet with Miki's family, who remembers the name of this plaza?

and what is specific about this monument?

 that is disgusting Paolotto

 knitting class, so cool

 pretty amazing that 3 boys are totally attracted by this pan shop

 this dog is part of this clothing shop

 here are Giovanni, Pietro and Vale Brunati

 ...and Miki, cheers!

 short meet, but great connection

 the kids are very close, and Giovanni and Pietro call Gio Paolo and Nic 'cugini'

 ciao Miki grazieeeee

 a home made dinner at Miki's

 fun to see the kids drawings

 their favorite pictures

 perfect light dinner, that's what papaTeo needed after so many restaurants, grazie!

 ciao Gio, time to go to bed buddy!

 zuppa di cipolle di Romagna, came out so good papi!

 ...and of course the burraco and hot drink to finish

 next day is Coci day: nonna Betta eating all her plate, grande!

 Alberto in fantastic shape

 Paolotto got much better in his conversations in Italian

 the legendary cups of the winners...

 ...and the equally legendary shame trophy of the losers

 in memory of nonnoCla, the flat rock throw on Ticino

 torneo di Burraco alla Moto: Giorgetto does not seem to be doing particularly well 

 neither is Paolotto

 better at basket! Paolotto makes it again from half court, like last year!

 Guidone hits bombs in tennis serves, and can't reach the basket shooting from 3 point line, can you believe it?

 here is Giorgetto ready to switch from Burraco uniform to tennis uniform...on the fly

 Alyssa is the winner of the Burraco, brava!

 fun quick tennis game, after a bit of wait

 the veterans hold their own, with some help from the format, try it with your mouse

 papaTeo enjoys a dinner at a very good restaurant in Corso Cavour, called la Torre degli Aquila, with Miki Coci Davide Majo and Guidone

 Coci tries to call for a Zingarata in Utah, but it looks like it's going to be in Swizerland next year, we'll see!

 birretta al Teatro with more friends, Massimo, Ste Lollo

 papaTeo gets teased for ordering a 'camomilla' instead of a beer

 look who's here saying hi

 Gio Alyssa Nic Alba and Paolotto

 Nic loves Ste's dog

 a lift home from Majo....by scooter! PapaTeo hadn't done that in ...20 years!

of course his friends are not the only ones teasing papaTeo for camomilla: ciao papaTeo, abbiamo ordinato la camomilla

 that was supposed to be papaTeo's place: try it with your mouse

 what's happening now?

 a golf round at 'golfino' in honor of nonnoCla

 Paolotto is entirely dressed as nonnoCla, and pumps up nonnoCla's favorite music, the classic triumphant songs

 and he is on fire

 two nice caddies go along

 can Paolotto save a par from this tough position and bring his team up one?

 Nic is out of bounce very looooong, he has a 'excess of testosterone' problem 

 Paolotto for PAR, try him with your mouse

 team Paolotto is pumped up

team Nic is happy and relaxed

'il golfino' has some tough rough, it takes all of Giorgetto's young muscles to get out

also Giorgetto is entirely dressed by nonnoCla

that is a nice golf position, coach Ryan would love it

papaTeo birdie, game is tied

Paolotto is about to catch fire...the usual showoff 

that is another great golf position

we are close to clutch time on the first edition of the nonnoCla Golfino challenge

Giorgetto with a masterpiece

let's do it, try them with your mouse

I have the best caddy

try me with your mouse

hei, I can hit a clutch shot too (but Giorgetto looks more professional than me with the pipe)

the caddies are on fire

fantastic game, team Paolotto wins by 2

next year one more hat for Nic! Check out the movie of Golfino Nonno Memorial 2024

after golf, a nice lunch at Moto: what a life! Paolotto is the usual showoff with meat, try him with your mouse

nice group lunch with Romana, cheers

after lunch, Alberto Coci brings the kids to a visit in Certosa, and in the entrance a game that nonnoCla loved, the stick race between bridges

 Certosa is beautiful, the kids never saw it, while papaTeo brought mammaVale here few years back on a romantic trip

 SPA Vitruvio with Rafiki after another car rental return adventure

looking good

wanna try to reproduce the picture of Rafiki's honeymoon trip?

where papaTeo and mammaVale casually went along ...back in 1998

 dinner with the Ascari in Bereguardo, alla 'cotoletta'

and next morning an early start: nonnaLu in great shape

ready for the Istanbul trip, nice setup for the airport ride!
