King and Queen leave Italy after making pasta on final day of visit
King Charles and Queen Camilla have left Italy after a four-day state visit, where they had received a warm reception.
They ended the trip with a celebration of the country’s food, trying their hand at making pasta at a festival in Ravenna.
They had an enthusiastic welcome from big crowds in the historic city, with people waiting hours in the Italian sunshine to see the royal visitors.
The trip had included a brief private meeting with Pope Francis in the Vatican, where the pontiff, who has been seriously ill, gave them his best wishes for their 20th wedding anniversary, which they celebrated on Wednesday.
On the last day of the visit the King and Queen had a tour around a food festival full of local produce. It included sampling a pairing of parmesan cheese with whiskey.
