The Cod Father

‘GIORGIO Angelozzi, 80, who has lived alone outside Rome with seven cats since his wife died in 1992, was a lonely man.

He wanted company. He wanted a family. So he put himself up for adoption.

Before long he was inundated with offers from families across Italy and as far away as New Zealand, Brazil and the United States.

Spoilt for choice, he has decided to go to live with Elio and Marlena Riva and their two teenage children in Bergamo, northern Italy.’
