Hello from Rome Italy

My name is Marcello, 66 years old

I’m a new member, i hope to know nice people and spend good time in thes awesome place that’s WC forum.
I am already a happy user of the SWCA Smith&Wesson Collectors Association, of which I have been a member since 2022.

In my best years I chased women and started collecting guns to dissuade husbands and boyfriends from hurting me…
Guys I’m kidding.
I’ve been collecting Smith & Wessons since 1980 and only recently started with Winchester smoothbores.
 Ciao from Rome

Marcello,

Welcome to WACA!

My late father was born in Baranello, Compo basso, which if I’m correct, is not real far from Rome! His oldest brother and wife still live there, and have a family cheese business, that my father worked in, when he was a kid, before WW ll!

Cheese, Wine, Women, fast cars, Winchesters, etc………………………….You’ve come to the right place! LaughLaughLaugh

Send me a PM, when you can!

Welcome, Marcello! I’m a few months younger than you, I visited Rome when I was 12. Don’t have any favorite Roman restaurants but in my adult years I’ve become a fan of smooth whiskey and have been known to spend time with women who may seem a little rough around the edges. I don’t pursue the married type but an old bachelor like me has fewer higher aspirations than to be shot by a jealous husband on his hundredth birthday. I hope his aim is true, be rather awkward to linger awhile. 

I’m quite fond of Winchester shotguns but I hope you avail yourself to some of those fine Italian shotguns American shotgunners’ dreams are made of.

Ciao Marcello!

I am a temporary resident of Florence, Italy for a few more weeks but will be headed back to the U.S. for the Cody show in July.  I am working in the Fincantieri shipyard in Venice this coming week but if you are up my way in Florence the week after next I will buy you lunch.

Best Regards,
