Sicilia crudo (raw)

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Organised crime: Disclaimer - I'm not in any way, implying that this man in the photo is involved in organised crime of any sort. However, what I am trying to portray is that there is a seedier, shady side to Sicily, that many people don't like to acknowledge or discuss. To me (and my sometimes over active imagination), the colour of the suit, the cigarette in the mouth and the comb over of the hair, remind of something akin to a pimp. Meanwhile, this guy is walking past a building that has several signs for 'affitasi', 'avvocato' and 'studio legale' which translate to 'for rent', 'lawyer' and 'legal studio'. I couldn't help but take a photo - it makes for an interesting story whatever way you (and your overactive imagination) look at it.
