Can you spot it? Kate Langbroek finds a display of personalised mugs in Venice – and ‘all the names are European’ apart from ONE glaring exception
Kate Langbroek moved to Italy with her family early last year.
And on Tuesday, the 54-year-old radio presenter was left baffled after she spotted a display of personalised mugs on sale in Venice.
She shared a photo of the rack to Instagram, telling her followers that ‘all the names are European… except for one’.

There were more than 50 mugs on display, with names including Ernesto, Eugenio, Fabio, Franco and Gabrielle.
But it was the one that read ‘Kevin’ that had Kate scratching her head.
While the other mugs featured names from continental Europe, Kevin is of Anglo-Irish descent.
There was also a mug with the name David, which Kate didn’t mention. David is of Biblical Hebrew origin.

Fellow radio host Emelia ‘Em’ Rusciano commented below the post that it was lovely to see so many European names on the souvenir mugs.
‘As someone with the name Emelia Rusciano who, as a kid growing up in Australia, could never find her name on a mug or a key ring, this brings a tear to my European eye,’ she wrote.
It comes after Kate revealed that she had been stranded in Venice over the weekend after a coronavirus scare left the island city in lockdown.

The comedian, who lives with her family in Bologna, had travelled to Venice on Friday with her husband, Peter, for the weekend’s Carnival festivities.
Speaking to Hughesy and Ed on Monday, Kate said that the streets and canals of Venice were ‘like a ghost town’ amid the health crisis.
‘The news broke yesterday that they were cancelling Carnival today and tomorrow. That’s huge news,’ she added.
Kate made light of the situation by joking that the lockdown was a good excuse to extend her Venetian holiday, before later revealing she and Peter had secured a train passage to safety.
The couple relocated to Italy with their four children – Lewis, Sunday, Artie and Jan – in January 2019 for what was supposed to be a ‘gap year.’ They have since extended their stay for another 12 months.
