I really enjoy photographing the essence of Sicilia which is its' people. The land and the food  would all be nothing without the generous, gentile, compassionate  people who have endured for centuries.

Above is Carmelina  from the restaurant ARCO ROSSO in LETOJANNI near Taormina..GO THERE !!  Si mangia benissimo !!!!!

Signora Sara was standing in the doorway of the church in SAVOCA where two very dear friends were married a few years back. I did not know at the time that this lovely well respected woman is the grandmother of the groom! It made me so happy to present Simone with this photograph.
