Sereno Variabile

The other day I had the pleasure of spending the morning with the Rai film crew who were in the area north of Bari filming for a TV program called "Sereno Variabile." The man in white in the center of the photo is Osvaldo Bevilacqua. He has been presenting this travel and tourism show for the past 30 years.

I had heard that the TV crew would be filming in Molfetta and went along just to get a photo of our town's 15 minutes of fame...and somehow found myself swept up into the whole event. We started out in the fish market (you can see my photos of the market here, here and here). Then we were loaded onto a commercial fishing boat and spent the morning out in the sea being interviewed by Osvaldo, eating various types of pasta (accompanied by both red and white wines) prepared by chefs brought along specifically to feed us, singing karaoke, chatting with the cameramen and generally having a great time!
