A uniform for a guide?

Sometimes, some tourists tell us that it would be nice to put a uniform. on..to keep a flag or un umbrella  or whatever make them easier to follow their guide and not to go with  a different group!! Yes , it can happen..Once I had just three ladies ..and in a couple of minutes I had already lost one as she went with a different guide!!
Some guides like to put on clothes with strong colours or raise a flag, a flower, a puppet...an umbrella..
I don't do that and especially Italian,s tell me I'm wrong. Why?  Chi mi ama mi segua!! This is my answer to them.....and they reply"You're not tall"  and I Il vino migliore sta nelle botti piccole...(best wine is in small barrels...).
Anyway, to dress like a nun.....beh ..we're not so Virtuose,one day maybe there will be only virtual guides, but this is a different story.

Sicily among the clouds: Ortigia - bird's eye view

six days around Sicily by helicopter this is the strongest emotion to me   flying as a bird above my  marvellous Ortigia unforgettable

The caponata of the Inspector Montalbano... simply sciavurusa!

Yesterday I was at the street market in  my Ortigia and I ate a  wonderful  caponata When  it was served at my table that marvellous vision reminded me the description given by Andea Camilleri in one of the episodes of his popular Inspector: " The moment he opened the refrigerator, he saw it.  Caponata! Fragrant, colourful, abundant, it filled an entire soup dish, enough for at least four people. It had been months since Adelina, his housekeeper, last made it for him. The bread, in its plastic bag, was fresh, bought this morning. The notes of the triumphal march of Aida came spontaneously, naturally, to his lips. Humming, he opened the French windows after turning the light one the veranda. Yes, it was a cool night, but still warm enough to eat outside. He set the little table, brought the dish, the wine, and the bread outside, and sat down " (Excursion to Tindari, Andrea Camilleri) There were three Dutch tourists reading  carefully the menu close to me
