Curious scene in Italy: A man enters a pizzeria with a python around his neck and demands something to drink. The innkeeper sends him away, but the man soon returns – this time with a weapon.
In a rather unusual way, a 48 year old man in an Italian Pizzeria tries to get an alcoholic drink. The man showed up at a pizzeria in the northern Italian community of Casnate con Bernate on Friday evening with a large python around his neck and asked for something to drink, police said. He also had two huge dogs with him.
When the waitress and the innkeeper sent him outside, he turned around, but appeared again shortly afterwards – this time with a gun in his hand. According to the police, another guest managed to drive away the man, who was apparently drunk. Investigators later confiscated the weapon at his home – a very real-looking toy gun. Nevertheless, he ended up with a criminal complaint. He legally owned the large python.
