On Friday the 13th, the duo boarded a southbound train with fresh octopus salad, piccante sausage, bread, and red wine for lunch on board. They spotted a bearded young man with a suitbag at Camucia-Cortona train station. “He is probably going to the festival,” mused Anne. Eventually nicknamed Tony French, he joined them on the bus up a steep hill to the walled city of Cortona, home of movie “Under the Tuscan Sun.” Below are pictures of and from Hotel Oasi where they stayed for 10 days.
