Wildlife in the streets of Florence



Many things catch your eye in Italy, but my camera trapper's eye was pleased to encounter wild boar in the streets of Firenze, or as we know it, Florence.

This delicatessen owner proudly displayed taxidermic icons of his specialty -- pork in all of its processed products.

His domestic diorama of medieval piglets at the table proves the thesis of Luigi Barzini's masterpiece of character analysis . . . Italians thrive on spectacle and family.

"Tutti a tavola a mangiare".

    Did you bring back any cured pork products for our next get-together?

    "Tutti a tavola a mangiare" Someone watches Cooking with Lidia at your house?

    I'm a fan, and it started when I tore my achilles tendon and was house bound wearing "the boot". I still watch it.
