An Italian man has walked a distance of 450km from Como to Fano, the equivalent distance of Abuja to Kano to get away from his wife for making him angry.

The man has been nicknamed the “Forrest Grump” by Italians, on social media, after the slow-witted hero of a 1994 movie, played by Tom Hanks, who runs thousands of miles across the United States.

He was found in an epic walk in Fano on the Adriatic coast in Italy. He left his hometown in Como a week before he was stopped by the police in Fano at 2AM. He was fined for violating the Covid-19 curfew. He reportedly had an argument with his wife, then decided to go for a walk.

After checking his ID in their database they found that his wife had reported him missing, so they contacted her and she travelled to Fano to collect him.

“I am Ok, just a bit tired,” he told the police. “I came here on foot, I didn’t use any transport.”
He averaged 60km daily.
