This stone shed was built by my father and grandfather in the early 60's...It was used mainly for shelter and to park the mule. Here's my grandfather resting by the fig tree...(1977) |
   Grandfather's coming from the farm...posing
for a picture...and unpacking. Now it's time to a rest "nel il carretto" and have a cigar. Ah, the mule
gets to rest too. (1978) |

This is my uncle's farm at the Vestalla, just north of Pachino. In fact you can see this farm
house from Pachino.(1978) |

This is at the Vastella looking south towards Pachino. Here you can see the grapes growing
with the Pachino skyline in the distance. You can also see the church on the left and the water resorvoir on the
right. The new resorvoir isn't built yet..(1978). |
