Thank you Cathy. I remember what a people person you are, and I wonder about the differences you must find living in the UK. People watching is one of my favourite things in Italy I have to say. xx
They all look so Italian! Love the good old boys at the Jesus Cafeteria. You’ve got a fellow in suspenders, one with a Sicilian coppola… Are there men in Italy named GESU (like in Mexico where you can find lots of Jesus-es), or is this place named for the real deal???
This one’s named for the main man, Jann. The bar’s right opposite the Chiesa del Gesu’ and possibly attracts a bigger congregation from what I see – and I took enough photos of that place to fill a small book! I haven’t come across anyone game to name their child Gesu’ in Italy though I know in latin america it’s a different tradition. Interesting.
Buon weekend cara! xx
Not enough to talk about, um, nowhere nice to stop and exchange ’4 chiacchiere’, too much time in the car??? I ask myself the same question most days too Janie! xx
I love your selection of people Janine. Great post – well done

Especially Italians! Often about food…and what a great subject that is.
Do you find you become more talkative in Italy? Your comment made me realise why that’s the case with me – I love to talk about food too! xx
Yes ha! Always and everywhere!!
Just wish I could join in more often. One of these days I shall sign up for a language course – in Italy…
That sounds great Helen. You are so Italian in spirit already
! Come to Perugia and I’ll help you enrol! x
Hope I can take you up on that offer some time! X
Oh so do I Helen. That’s the stuff that makes life worth living I think. xx
And the Italians do it better than everybody!
I know! So true Robyn. And they don’t even need words half the time….;-)
Exactly Janine more hand gestures than words most of the time it is an art! xx Carla
Oh yes Carla, at least 50% is in the hands…and the eyes! xx
Why don’t I see this at home?
