Ciao Ri....almost said Riccardo!
Why don't you make him an offer in return that he can not understand or couldn't refuse? Send him something, some of moma's pasta wrapped with a nice picture of a horse on it ? Cappeesh?
That way, in the event that things do get ugly, you tell him that the papa in Roma is now German, and he better watch it, cos you also pay for your sins to be forgiven!
Did you contact Fatties & Moanies? Oh no, that was another oke!
But on the lighter side, you're better of in the US of A anyway, if you ask my opinion, Africa currently will eat you alive and spit only the bones out, ask any cavorting cheetah, his cage was moved to North of the ITCZ!
In the meantime, don't jump on the mattress', they neighbours could hear...
