Barry Frangipane edited the characters of The Venice Experiment Monday, February 20, 2012.
- Edited the description of Maxi: Maxi (Massimiliano), is a single father with two teenage daughters, and the son of Gastone, Barry's dearest friend in Venice. Maxi's love of the sea is shown by his lifelong work at the Venice Institute of Marine Science, as well as his love for his sailboat moored at the Venice Sailing Club. Maxi could be found sleeping alone on his 25' sailboat, night after night in the harbor, while just a walk away he had one of the best apartments in Venice. The sea calls in this way to many true Venetians. Maxi: http://on.fb.me/ztKcaD

He works 14 hours a day, six days a week, but still finds time to flirt with the women passing by the bar.

It would be rude to pass them by."
