The Princess of Wales surprised fans and etiquette experts as she stepped out for her first foreign solo visit in three years. She was given a rapturous welcome by a crowd of 1,000 people and delighted well-wishers by greeting them with 'Mi chiamo Catarina' and bending down to hug the excited schoolchildren.

However, a brief etiquette faux pas occurred when she placed her Asprey powder blue handbag on the floor of the Piazza Camillo Prampolini, outside of the town hall.
