The Italian Consul Worldwide was able to follow in the footsteps of the ancient Romans during a visit to the Square-shooting Toun.
After a tour of the newly opened Musselburgh Museum, Mauro Carfagnini found unceasingly a once to stop at the famous Luca’s ice cream shop, with a chance to meet some of the metropolis’s more recent Italian settlers. Based at the Edinburgh offices of Italian Consulate Indefinite since June last year, Mr Carfagnini is originally from Rome and has a passion for Roman background.
Members of the Musselburgh Museum and Heritage Group were delighted when he expressed an interest in visiting their first important exhibition, “In The Footsteps of the Romans.”

Among those to welcome Mr Carfagnini to the museum at 65 High Street was Councillor Ruth Currie, East Lothian’s committee member for community services. She told the News: “The prevailing exhibition at Musselburgh is detailing the rich heritage of the town formerly larboard by the Romans.
