Dad and Mariuccia Brovelli, first cousins. We bumped into her at the Sunday market in Angera.
Good friends Gianni and Donatella, Gino, Mom, and Dad strolling at the Angera market. We just finished inhaling gelato.
My cousin, Anna Rita, serving a delectible baked creation. We were already stuffed, but readily wolfed this down.
Carletto and Dad, “primi cugini” (first cousins). When these two first met three years ago, they were uncannily dressed exactly the same.
Giuseppina, Anna Rita’s mom. Such a sweetheart!
Andrea, Anna Rita’s husband. He was trying to sneak out the door, but we caught him.
Mom and Gianni checking out a private inner courtyard that without Gianni’s winning smile, we would never have gained access.
Gianni proudly showing off his wood-burning pizza oven. We call Gianni “Renaissance Man.” Wherever there is Gianni, there is adventure.
Donatella serving Dad spaghetti at the “light lunch” they promised us. Dad looks most eager to be the grateful guest.
Clockwise: Gianni, Mom, Dad, Donatella, and Gino. The table looks pretty full for a “light lunch.” And so it went.
