A video used to be here. It was a flash video. No, It didn’t show people “flashing”, as it might have had it been made in the wonderful 70s. In any case, both flashing and Adobe flash are obsolete, unfortunately.
Anyway, I had these pictures from the evening after a fourth of July dinner we hosted in the Lunigiana. They seemed to speak to me of things those of us in the States don’t see much of when we’re on vacation. People feasting, celebrating and talking—with their hands.
At the time these pictures were taken my Italian neighbors were in a very good mood, talking, drinking, and finishing up the little sweets that always come out after the meal. And yes, they were using their hands, quite effectively I might add. Then some guy started to tell a story…
Part of the meal was prepared by yours truly. Zesty ribs on the BBQ. No Italians died after eating American fourth of July food. At least not right away.
