Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg unable to withdraw cash on Italy honeymoon

Cash machines in Italy are frequently out of service but the Naples-based bank
insisted that it was functioning normally.

As they did on at least one occasion in Rome, the couple shared a main course
at the restaurant on Capri – mindful, perhaps, that Facebook’s
plunging share value has put a dent in Mr Zuckerberg’s $20 billion dollar
fortune.

Shares in the company, which made its market debut on the NASDAQ stock
exchange on May 18, fell 10 per cent to an all-time low of $28.65 on
Tuesday.

The honeymoon was supposed to be a secret until the couple’s cover was blown
by a Polish tourist who snapped them admiring the Sistine Chapel in the
Vatican and posted the photographs on Twitter.

Meanwhile the owner of a kosher restaurant in Rome’s historic Ghetto quarter
dismissed a
row over Mr Zuckerberg not leaving a tip
when he and his new wife
ate there during their two-day stay in the capital.

Umberto Pavoncello said the failure to leave a tip for a lunch which cost 32
euros (£26) was of no consequence and said he was considering renaming one
of the restaurant’s signature dishes – deep-fried courgette flowers – after
Mr Zuckerberg.

He wrote on the website of his restaurant, Nonna Betta (Granny Betta) that he
would like to make the internet guru “an honorary nephew” and
speculated that he had failed to leave a tip because he was in a hurry.
