Fishermen

 
An old family photo from Lucia and Patrick Van der Hoeven's files.  
In the group is Rosa Fichera's father, Lucy's grandfather, Salvatore Cafarella, son of Domenico.  He is second from the left facing the camera.  It could easily be Salina, as the coastline is much like this, but it is actually in Stazzo, Sicily, where he lived and worked for much of his life.  The background is much less vertiginous than the island, and that part of Sicily is very volcanic, as it is at the foot of Mount Etna.
