Ok we are going to try a video again. So it was Friday night and I hear a loud speaker. Now this typically means some truck is coming to the village to either advertise an upcoming event, announce something (possibly a political advertisement) or sell something. As I am still learning the language I never know until the truck/car arrives on my street and I can see what they are selling. In time I will be able to understand the announcements better.
Once a week there is a fruit and vegetable vendor selling from a truck. In the past I have seen mattresses strapped to the top of the truck and they are for sale. There is also a truck that brings fresh mozzarella and ricotta cheese, but tonight it was linens. So to give you a feel I took a short video as the truck had passed my house and then started to back up (my street is a dead end on one side). The announcement is usually prerecorded and just plays over the loud speaker usually interspersed with music. Notice the goods are strapped to the top and the front of the vehicle. Tonight he was selling items for 10 euros.
Just another interesting tidbit about southern Italy. Hope you can see the video - it is a youtube link that should play for all. Either click on it OR copy and paste into your browser.

Also tonight Casalvelino Scalo is celebrating St. Antonio (Patron Saint) day. It was a few weeks ago but the celebrations are now all on Sundays for all to enjoy. I enjoyed a celebration lunch with Antonio and family and will celebrate tonight as well. I will blog on the
festivities in the next day or two.
A domani o dopo domani!
