Bryan - Over the past 35 years I have been in Giulianova on an irregular basis and was there for the month of December 2006. On December 26, my wife and friends of ours went to Ascoli P. for anisette and to visit the duomo. Later we ate at Bella Napoli and noticed an American couple at the table just to our one side. Was that you and your wife? - Jay
Jay - We were in Roma on the 26th, but Bella Napoli does have the best pizza in town.
