THE BASKET WEAVER OF SAN PIETRO



This gentleman and his companion are often seen on the steps of San Pietro, making baskets in the time-honoured way. Such workmanship is appreciated here and the baskets are still used in the home and by businesses. I have some and they are virtually indestructible. Sometimes you see the men crafting traditional shepherds' whistles like the one in the second photo, too.
