No, no, no Sam in Italia Huh, this is the story of the bizarre mountain mystery surrounding this little Scottish village in the Italian Alps To solve this mystery we need a master detective preferably wearing a deerstalker hat and smoking a pipe or Or We need someone who was born here and grew up hearing tales of Scottish myths and legends that have been reverberating around these mountains for centuries That's why we are talking to Rosa here Ciao Rosa take us back to the beginning of this tale In 1525, in Pavia, there was a battle with the King of France And when the battle was over, some Scots wanted to return to Scotland But winter was approaching and they thought it was no longer possible And they stopped here, but spring came and they felt good And they started looking for some women, they thought of putting their families, but they said that the mountains Resembled their home, and that's why they stopped here 500 years later, you would think that all traces of Scottish mercenaries would have vanished But Scottish culture can be found in most areas of Giro life, if you look hard enough Okay, so we have fairy tales and tartan-like petticoats But perhaps the most deeply embedded Scottishness is in language So, here we have the surname Patritty, and I am a Patritty They say that this is a name that is found over there, like Patrick And this is the bar that we have dedicated to Scotland And outside the Scottish-named bar, listen closely enough And you can hear locals singing of Giro's mysterious beginnings This song reminds us of Scotland Because it is a song that was sung only here, in other countries it seems that they did not use to sing it Because it is a story, a legend, it is not clear where to put this thing Then there are those who do not believe it, they tell me that it is not true I believe it, I have this name, and I am proud to tell this story, this legend Whatever the truth behind this mystery, there is one more very important question Does anyone eat haggis here?

We eat Italian food here, yes, that's for sure
