An Italian pizza shop owner posted a video insulting Taiwanese tourists and eventually apologized after being criticized.

According to Taiwan's EBC News, 16 Taiwanese tourists visited the 'Pizza dal Pazzo' pizza restaurant located in the Italian tourist attraction Monteccatini Therme earlier this month.

They ordered five thin dough pizzas and three beers. Then, the owner, who was dissatisfied with the small order volume, filmed the tourists eating and broadcasted it in real time, and posted the video online, mixing abusive language.




In the video, when the owner asked the tourists where they came from, they answered "Taiwan", and some tourists posed 'V(V)', thinking the owner was smiling fondly. However, the business owner hurled insults at them, such as "Get out of here, you don't care". He complained, `It's ridiculous that 16 people came and ordered only five pizzas and three beers.' When netizens pointed out in real time about the owner's insulting behavior, he even responded with abusive language.

The video immediately sparked a great backlash among Chinese and Taiwanese living in Italy.

According to the tour guide at the time, some elderly tourists could not eat much due to jet lag, so they checked with the owner in advance to make small orders, which the owner accepted.




As the controversy grew, the owner recently deleted the video and posted a new video to apologize.

He apologizes to Taiwanese tourists. I'm just a playful Italian. "I've visited both China and Taiwan, and you're great people. I love China, I love Taiwan."
