Sicily, an island of immense beauty: amazingly detailed and opulent architecture, rugged sunburnt countryside, fabulous food, and seriously cute nonnas. These photos show a brief snapshot into the everyday lives of elderly Sicilians doing everyday things: at the traditional barber’s shop, strolling down the street, sitting in the sun, standing in doorways watching the day go by, or gesticulating over coffee. When I asked them in my broken Italian if I could take their photo, their faces would light up in response: “Of course!!”
Take a moment to look at their character, the lines on their faces, their clothes and shoes, and their smiles.
