Sereno Variabile, 2

Here are some more shots from my day with the Rai film crew. Above two real fishermen and two volunteers from the crowd are pulling in the nets. There were exactly NO fish in the nets, which, as one of the fishermen pointed out, is something that can happen...

Here I am (on the right) with my lovely friend, Katia, and Osvaldo Bevilacqua, who was very patient and kind. Not at all what you might expect from a TV personality.

Here's a view of one of the chefs cooking down below decks. This shrimp was cooked with fresh tomatoes, parsley, garlic and oil...and was delicious! The chef, Angelo Tavella, the owner of a local restaurant called Dentro le Mura, said the secret was in the fact that the shrimp were very fresh. They had just been caught the night before, by the fishermen of this boat.

Here we are enjoying various types of pasta with fish, with the wind blowing through our hair. I have no idea what I was pointing at!

And one more photo, posing with the camera crew. A friendly and patient group of guys!

My thanks to Leonardo Albanese, a young journalist for the Molfetta Live site (see my sidebar) who kindly took all of today's photos for me. My camera batteries died after the first few photos in the fish market...wouldn't you know it!

Anyone who would like to watch the show can tune into Sereno Variabile on Rai 2 on August 1 at 1:30 p.m. and see Molfetta and the surrounding areas.
