Rocco Galatioto, nice photos and good food

  Another shot of cousin Grace from Washington DC A real character. Shot with my first Leica, an M4 with the 50mm Summicron F 2. Naturally, the film was Tri-X.

  This is the way real pesto genovese is prepared. After you prepare the pesto, you cook the pasta along with string beans and a finely cut up potato. The taste is unbelievable.

 Another delicious and simple food consumed at our Sicilian block party. Pani cunzatu  that literally means fancied up bread. This is the original version that is basically home made bread with superb local olive oil and incanestrato cheese or Sicilian pecorino cheese. The new and more complex version features anchovies, tomatoes, lighter cheese and oregano. It's nice but the original version is more to my liking..

   The colors of these Sicilian watermelons are real. No manipulation at all. From a block party we had in my beloved Castellammare del Golfo, my hometown. This is my dear neighbor and friend Angela.
