No, not this guy. I was stationed in La Maddelena on the sub tender for two years. It's not there anymore, and the base will be closed by next year. It was a great time though. The wife and I took 3 weeks leave and toured most of Europe in our wj. There's so much to see and do. Take advantage of your time there, and see some stuff. You can get around pretty cheap over there. Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help.
