I got almost this same question on my last tour in Italy. Except the questions was "Can you tell me where we are located"?
Now I don't look Italian at all most folks there guess that I am an American or German so I am not sure how this guy figured I was able to tell him. Maybe he noticed my maps and my GPS? Anyway I was able to tell him and we formed a brief friendship. We rode the rest of the way into town together and even though he did not know the town, he helped me find my host's apartment. His Italian was a LOT better than mine.
I have gotten the "Are you crazy" question and "wow you must be in really good shape"?
