HM King Carl Gustav of Sweden was in Chiavenna, Italy over the weekend visiting factories of some kind and other crap.

According to the Swedish magazine, Svensk Damtidning, the King met the mayor of Chiavenna as well as visiting a production plant where they make ski equipment:

… the King came to town on Friday and during his visit to Italy he had the time to visit a factory for ski products.  The King also went to a small bar and bakery, Mastai in via Consoli Chiavennaschi, where he tasted the local specialties, cakes and biscotti id Chiavenna’s own local wine.

Sounds exciting.
