I met the loveliest man, via Francesca, when she was searching for Lupini ...
We decided they were surely something to do with my beloved flower, the Lupin, but the photograph on the bag of beans showed this enormously strange and beautiful tree. Google-searching tonight, Francesca ... it seems we were right. All photographs in the search pointed to the Lupin I know.
Anyway, I wasn't carrying my photography gear and Francesca asked if I might wander back along Via di Canneto il Lungo, to number 54R, for a photography shoot. The lovely man said, 'Si'. So here's a small glimpse of the magical drogheria where you can buy all kinds of everything.
He tried some of his English and I appreciated it immensely but here, you can see him chatting with Karla Verdugo, a favourite artist friend of mine.
