Just back from the Sacro Cuore Festa, which included a sagra dedicated to cannoli.
Here you see the relaxed, milling Modicani, cooling slices of coconut on sale and three types of cannoli.
The atmosphere was vibrant and whole families were strolling happily along in the evening breeze, enjoying all that the occasion had to offer.
For me the music was particularly nostalgic, as Jimmy Fontana was on the open air stage singing hits from the 60s, including this favourite of mine which I have on vinyl:
JIMMY FONTANA - IL MONDO
I was surprised to see these were coconuts- they looked slightly like Fajitas...
ReplyDeleteHas quite a Christmassy feel, well the images do, anyway.
It is pure torture looking at these freshly made real Italian cannoli and not be able to have a bite. The look sooooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteI also remember so well strolling near the Arno and seeing fresh Coconut and Watermelon. Very refreshing on a warm summer evening.
Looks like a wonderful evening!
Oh, Oh, look at those cannoli, deliciosi!.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great night you must of had!! The Festa looks exciting :-)
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate ones were something else again.
ReplyDeleteAww that all looks yum. Am eating curry at the moment but I'd swap for that.
ReplyDeleteHope James enjoyed it
ReplyDeleteJust called to say hello;what a lovely suprise I had. You seem to be having a lovely time with James staying at your home. I do hope that this might lead to a wonderful loving relationship. Best wishes to you both. Enjoy this time together to the full.
ReplyDeleteI've just been catching up with James adventures and it looks like he's been spoiled rotten. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious :-)
ReplyDeleteA bit off subject but the picture you are using as your icon on mybloglog is very glamorous :-)
Definitely coconuts, Crushed. Hi, indigo-daisy. Yes, I love it when cooling slices of water melon are on sale too. Hi, jmb. They were fantastic. Ciao, Anne. It was great. I prefer the ricotta ones, James. Hi, nunyaa. They were quite something! He did, WW. Nice to see you, MM. Don't forget "there are 3 of us" in this relationship - Simi too! Hi, Julie. He claims he is! Thank you kindly, cherrypie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious feast. It looks like James is being spoiled rotten.
ReplyDeleteMore food - I'm going to burst! Cannoli always makes me think of The Godfather, a mythical food.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteOooo! Chocolate ones James? Drool!
ReplyDeleteAs I said, he deserves to be, ellee. Ciao, Mopsa. You're welcome, SSN. Drool indeed, dragonstar!
