Donne siciliane.... (di Paola Mentuccia) (ANSA) - ROMA, 23 NOV 16- "Non è stata una storia di vanità, è stata una storia di vita".

I LOVE all this communal card playing on summer evenings in Sicily. But why is it only men? And do they play for money?

So these guys are not big gamblers!
RispondiEliminaThe men outside and the women inside always reminds me a bit of North Africa...of course that is only the older generation!
You are right Ann,
Eliminathe first time I was in Tunisia, for example, this is what I exclaimed to myself : OH matri mia (that is OH Mamma mia! ) this is the way we, Sicilian, are !!! in an exaggerating way.."
It's not everywhere like this....but,but,but...
