Bari - Old Lady of 'Orecchiette' Street


This lovely old lady was happy to pose for a photograph in Bari.  She was sitting alongside several other ladies who make and sell 'orecchiette', one of hundreds of pasta shapes you can find in Italy.   It means 'little ears.'

  1. A woman who obviously is in "the flower of womanhood!" Love her apron who helps define what's important in her life.

  3. We had orecchiette this evening! But I'm afraid it wasn't hers.
