Photo taken from Piazza Vito Longo. The large stand of ficus trees down the piazza and to the left marks the location of Piazza Maddalena. In Piazza Maddalena, there is a large stainless steel stand with a scale. This is used by the fisherman to sell their catch each morning. |
Vincenzo Caminita and Pietro D'Angelo stroll through the piazza.. Note the elaborate lamppost in the background. The symbol in the base is a face with three bent legs encircling it. It denotes the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which was the governing body of Ustica before Italy was unified in the 1860's. |
Giuseppa DiLorenzo and her mother, Rosalia Lauricella, relax outside "T-Shirt Mania". Giuseppa runs the T-shirt and ceramics shop at the foot of the piazza. |
The Favaloro family - Delia, Roberta, Viviana and Giovanni. The whole family pitches in at their barber shop. |
