LA VUCCIRIA

2008.05.19
very important people (VIPs), at least to me








"u puipu" boiled small octopuses ready to eat




wash your hands after eating!


One of the street markets of Palermo, la Vucciria, means the sound of voices. the pavement is always wet because of refreshing the fish with water, so a traditional saying of the city tells "quannu e balati ra Vucciria s'asciucanu" or "when the floor of la Vucciria will dry", in other words NEVER.

gderuiter Palermo feels so urban and gritty in your photos -- but not without cultural charm. The fish heads are comical (is that a swordfish or marlin?), but your 8th shot of the fish vendor refreshing the fish is the winning shot of the bunch. The motion in the water and in his hands tells the whole story that you reference in your quote about la Vucciria.
