Naples and Leghorn

 

In 2023 the Mexican street artist, Maker Garcia Chiavez, made this mural in via Tribunali, Naples. The painting shows the famous Italian actress, Sophia Loren, who starred in English-language Hollywood films starting in 1957.

Last week I visited Leghorn, a seaside town located in the Tuscany region, Central Italy.  Leghorn is the English name for the Italian port city of Livorno (photo above). The term Leghorn also refers to a common breed of domestic chicken, which was introduced to Britain from the United States in 1870. 🐓  It was originally exported from the Italian port of Leghorn, that's why this breed of domestic chicken has the same name as that Italian town. 

In the meanwhile, inflaction rate continues to increase, thanks to the rising cost of oil and gas. This morning the price of lemons on a grocery store shelf was 6,69 euros per kilo  🍋🍋🍋

Have a lovely weekend 🍁🍄🌰
