Mistico Cosimo


Italian truckers often decorate the cabs of their rigs with all kinds of paraphernalia including placards with their name or "handle," small, medium or large crucifixes, which may or may not be illuminated with lights, images of Jesus, the Madonna or a favorite saint, colorful pon-pons...let your imagination run wild! I would love to do a photo series of these guys, but I usually see them while driving down the highway where photo ops are limited!

This truck is quite tame, but I love the trucker's name: "Mystical Cosimo"!

Venetian Style

This is, in my personal opinion, the most beautiful building in Molfetta. It is located on Corso Umberto I and is rather out of place, surrounded by the more typical modern buildings with their green shutters.

It's not easy to get a good shot of it because the street isn't really wide enough to allow you to stand directly across from the building. This is often a problem around here!
