Der römische Herumtreiber Giovanni Beri tut sich gerade an einem Teller Makkaroni gütlich und träumt von seinem nächsten Glas Wein. Da fällt ihm ein Reisender auf. Der sonderbare Herr gestikuliert mitten auf der Piazza del Popolo, als hätte ganz Rom auf ihn gewartet. Wer ist dieser Mann, ein adeliger Spinner, ein Advokat oder gar ein Spion? Beri, der neben seinen Gelegenheitsarbeiten auch den Patres des Vatikans mit Informationen zu Diensten ist, beschließt, den merkwürdigen Fremden näher unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Doch bevor er sich's versieht, verliert Beri nicht nur den Überblick, sondern auch seine Geliebte Faustina, und zwar ausgerechnet an den Mann, den er observiert, den berühmtesten aller Italienreisenden: Goethe. „Am 3. September 1786, morgens oder vielmehr nachts um drei, damit niemand die Abreise bemerkt, stiehlt sich Goethe in der Postchaise davon, nur einen Jagdranzen und Mantelsack als Gepäck“; so beschreibt Richard Friedenthal in seiner Goethe-Biographie die heimliche Ausreise aus Weimar. Was hier so geheimnisvoll angedeutet ist, hat Hanns-Josef Ortheil zum Anlaß genommen, eine höchst amüsante Geschichte um den Besuch des Dichtervaters in der ewigen Stadt zu spinnen.
