Vietri sur Mare

Visited the first town that is the start of the Amalfi Coast- Vietri sur Mare.
World famous for it's incredible array of ceramic art.
Sat down in a little communal area, next to an elderly Italian gentleman, who would have been in his late 80's, early 90's.
He suddenly started conversing with us and began to show us a photo's from an album, that he took out of his rucksack.
We began to utilise Google translate but soon abandoned it, as we realised he didn't care if we spoke or understood Italian, he was going to tell us his life story.
So we sat there for nearly an hour, as he showed pictures of his family (in fine wood inlay frames) and his wood craftsmanship, in particular inlay work for church lecterns.
We laughed with him as he told us funny stories, which must have been funny as he laughed as he talked all in Italian....Meer informatie
