ANCONA – The tour of Italy with six dogs in tow: Mara Gobbato, 35 years old from Luino (in the province of Varese) stops in the Marche and launches the appeal: «My puppy, Preziosa, may need a surgical operation , I would at least need them 2 thousand euros (IBAN at the bottom of the article, ed)”.
Mara goes around with a tangle of leashes in tow: besides Preziosa, there are Punky (originally from Osimo), Margherita, Perla, Macho and Hippy, who «has been paralyzed for years due to the shot of a policeman who would have hit him in the thorn dorsal, in Murcia”.

The 35-year-old made an extraordinary adventure, going from Ventimiglia to Barcelona standing. Then, she returned to Italy by train and went to discover France and Spain. Here, I lived on the beach for two years, at the time of the Covid pandemic, a bit like Robinson Crusoe”, she jokes. «I’ve been on the streets for ten years. At the base of everything, there are reasons family members but from a misadventure an adventure was born.”
Mara arrived a few days ago in the Marche. After Rimini, she was in fact in Pesaro, Fano and Fabriano. «On Tuesday I will be in Tolentino, on Wednesday at Macerata and Thursday in Monte San Giusto. Next Saturday, back to Macerata and from Sunday Ascoli Piceno. So I will leave the Marche to go to Umbria, tour Abruzzo, Puglia and Calabria. From Calabria, I will move to Basilicata, I want to see Matera again and then Campania. The idea is to winter between Lazio and Tuscany. I will continue towards Emilia Romagna and turn north: Lombardy, Piedmont, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia”.
«I eat what people give me, I have a van only thanks to the solidarity of the people. We sleep in there, I spend the bare minimum”, he points out.
