These lads at Tropea's Shark Bay had a chat with us. When at first their ball had rolled onto my feet, I'd jokingly pretended to take it by plopping it into my shoulder bag without breaking stride. I told our Toronto FC soccer team had two talented Italian players: Insigne and Benedeschi. *The beachside snack menu there, and the one we saw earlier at Parghelia's Lido di Nonno, was similar to those across European and North American beaches: pop and fast food.
