After my vacation in Ireland (I shot hundreds of pictures), I went to visit my relatives in Abruzzo region, Italy.
One evening I went to visit my aunt Maria (Mary): she gave me a very nice and unexpected gift, that is the following picture:
The above picture was found by my aunt during a photographic exhibition about my childhood town , among hundres of other pictures.
The old madam you see in the picture is my paternal grandmother Giuseppina (Josephine): she died some years ago.
She didn't know that an amateurish photographer was taking a picture while she was going to work in fields with her donkey and her goat!
I still remember her hard sacrifices working in fields, the love for me, and her distance and mistrust about technology. Ciao nonna.
