A man who stormed out of his home in the north Italian city of Como after arguing with his wife went for a walk - a very long walk - ending up 450 kilometres away in Le Marche a week later.

The man's odyssey saw him leave his house in Lombardia and head south via Bologna, before being stopped by police in Fano, a town on the Adriatic coast, while out "wandering aimlessly" at 02.00 in the morning.

After charging the 48-year-old with violating Italy's nightly covid-19 curfew, the officers unravelled his bizarre story, reports Bologna-based newspaper Il Resto del Carlino.

The man, who appeared "lucid and focused" despite being cold and tired, told police he hadn't realised that he had covered so much ground on his week-long adventure, and that he had received food from people he met on his way.
