If this story holds truth, it is amazing. I can picture it, almost romantic.

Did you guys make out?

Morrissey speaking italian? yeah right.... he's lived in L.A. for years with a passion for its hispanic citizens, yet he never managed to learn spanish. So why italian??

dont give a fig if its true or not. its a nice story which is more than i can say about the vast majority of posts here of late.

all you miserable people who dont have a single pleasant thing to say can shut the hell up anytime now and i'll wager that no one is going to miss your posts one damn bit

It was really Ann Coates, and it was not Roma; it was a WC in Hartlepool

...that's a nice story. Happy for you!

To all the detractors - er Morrissey meets a lot of people. With a bit of luck tho he'll manage to give you miserable meanspirited fucks the swerve for the forseeable!!

Thanks for sharing your story! Another testament to what a great guy he really is!
For you naysayer down there, she said his italian was not good, not that he was actually speaking it badly. Come on, anyone with a bit of intelligence knows a few words in other languages, especially if one is well travelled.
Good for you Giovanna!

I was fortunate enough to meet him and talk to him earlier this year, here in Los Angles and I am still in a dream state. Congratulations you've got a great life long story to tell...He is an incredible being.

That'd be kinda special all right.
Thanks for sharing in lovely genteel air-brushed imagery.

This story is true. He's currently staying at the Hotel de Russie, where I was until yesterday. I spotted him twice at the gym (oh yea, it might seem incredible). I dared not go an talk to him for I was already with my coach and, to be honest, it was pretty embarassing : Morrissey was walking around with 6 or 7 lbs weights in each hand pretending to make huge efforts while a little boy could have done better. But it did happen twice. The guy is much bigger than I thought.

God, I'm so happy we share the same taste in hotels ! I just wish he was strong enough to be my partner at the gym :D

I shagged him after Earls Court gig.

Well he was askin for it after all, what else was I to do.

I dream of it still.

You know that Morrissey don't you.
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Be my Daddy

I read your comments... I thank you for your answers. I wanted share with you because I tried to share with my friends but for the majority in Italy Moz is only an old musician of the eighties. I wrote in a romantic way because what happeneded is something bigger only if you try to be a little romantic... Via del Corso is a the most commercial street in Roma with all the most expensive boutiques and a lot of people walk in... Why not Morrissey???? He said he was in Rome toi visit some friends.... We spoke in English sure. But I was so moved that I had difficulties and to help me he said "Sorry for my italian"..... It's all...

Iam Giovanna. We didn't speak in italian. We spoke in english!!!!! But I had difficulties. My english is good enough to communicate only when Iam not in an emotional state as I was... So he said sorry for my italian... just to apologise because he wasn't speaking in italian... and because we had difficulties to communicate. The story is simply true. I shared here because I needed to share with Morrissey fans. Thanks anyway

If it is true,I'm really happy for you.But..since I heard also last year that Moz was going to spend some time in Rome,I wonder...why the hell,my beloved Moz, don't you arrange some concert in Italy if you like it so much? There are Italian people who love him, and he played only 4 times in his 20-something-year career here.

...I'm off to go windowlicking in London.
(Then of course I'll clear off so he can hm, come back to you know where.)

"Sooorted". Ain't life easier now with the 'net?

I wonder if he's been putting his CV together and attending interview for the Top man's job?

Eating la pasta...
Meeting the Family...

Tat's nice. Nice. Family is important.

You belong to tat family now. Don't go breakin' the circle of trust Morrissi.
Now tat'd be Sicily. Silly I mean.

We are watching you.

Bob.

Ploppypants. In the journals section.

"Oh is that the best you can doooo?"
  Er... Yeh.
 
(Marry Meee, Ploppyyyyyy!)

...The very old guy who's a bit sick at the moment and who can't die, you mean?

Well, try singing to him "I have forgiven Jesus": that might cut his suffering short.
Tee-eeh...

Hm.
(Now I've said it he's probably going to pope his clogs any minute)

-How annoying, I can never say anything!!!

Dear Giovanna, I'm an italian girl too and I've loved your story but I want to tell to all our foreign friends that in Italy He is very well known and loved. Maybe someone can believe that no one like or knows him but IT'S NOT TRUE. Many people likes and love him so much...and I will go to Isle of Wight only to see him because he his one of the most brilliant star in my life. CIAO A TUTTI! Anna from Padova

Nice story about meeting him, cheers!

Pardon my ignorance, I'm new to all this. You say the man lives in Los Angeles? Really? Anybody know his zip code (joke, joke)? I live here and I never see/hear anything about him in the local celeb buzz.
Pardon my ignorance, again, but has he played any clubs/small venues around town lately? If so, his PR people are asleep. Thanks for the info.

I was in rome last week and glimpsed him out of the window of a bus, near piazzale venezia! my boyfriend wouldnt believe me and I only saw him for a couple of seconds, but now I feel reassured. He seems to be staying there for a while, doesn't he?

I agree
Unless she is another nutter on here making it up

I mean, it's the first post, and it isn't stating anything that has been previously stated in the thread
