Local residents – women, as the story goes – gather in the library here in Licata (on Sicily’s southern coast) to make these beautiful needlepoint decorations the adorn Licata’s already-lovely streets at certain festivals. Forget which saint’s festival these were for, but goodness, aren’t they lovely?!?
The beautiful Sicilian countryside during an evening bus ride from Palermo down to Licata 1-1/2 weeks ago. I’m currently in a very different part of the world, again for work, and photos from here will appear at some point, one hopes… 🙂
