Cremona, Italy, the birthplace of string instruments. This sculpture is in front of the Casa del Violino, a museum and auditorium where there's an incredible collection on display of super rare and expensive violins. Mos are on loan from owners who cannot keep such valuable instruments at home. They are played and cared for by the staff. It's an incredible place to visit and the city is just beautiful not to mention food, especially the risotti, that are out of thiss world.

 A dish of incredible simplicity. Rice cooked with cauliflower and dressed with very good EVO, black pepper and shavings of provolone; a phenomenal dish.

Naples il quartiere spagnolo, the Spanish quarter, way back in 1990 with My Leica M-4 loaded with Kodak Tri-X.
 

 I had just returned home from my favorite frutta e verdura market in my beloved Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, Italy. I think that the image conveys the freshness and the quality of these wonderful vegetables.

Shot at the South Street Seaport in the early seventies the very beginning of the construction of what became one of the truly wonderful sites in the city.
 

 A real mix of foods. Angus beef sliders with mashed porple yams and Italian string beans salad. A very filling dis and a nice photo. 

 Italian cheese and spinach raviolini with Sicilian lemon zest. I prepared the sauce with diced eggplants and served it with ricotta and fried sliced eggplants. Absolutely divine.
