Bella Figura is for Men, Too

A handsome Sicilian Man in 18th century uniform

Mamma Mia!!

Ortygia, Sicily 2015

Handsome young men in military uniform chatted on the steps of the Duomo. There had been a wedding. Luckily for the young women of Ortygia, this man had not been the groom.  This man would still be handsome if he were wearing ragged jeans, but he wouldn’t have the commanding presence he has here.

I think this uniform is worn by members of a Catholic fraternity…I was incorrect about the uniform…see Susanna’s comment below.

      Dear Susanna,
      I’m glad you visited my website. I appreciate you taking the time to tell me that this handsome man wears the uniform of the carabinieri. Mille Grazie.
      My daughter and I loved our few days in Italy. Not only is the country beautiful and the food delicious, but the Italian people were warm and molto gentile.
