Known for over 30 years as the Italian Robinson Crusoe, the old man of Budelli is to be evicted from his island paradise. The hermit-like caretaker Mauro Morandi first ran into trouble in 2016, after his New Zealand backer lost his appeal and the private island was returned to public hands.
Mauro Morandi, who became known as "Italy s Robinson Crusoe" while living alone on a Mediterranean island for more than 30 years, says he will end his battle with authorities and move to a small apartment this week.
