Signora Maria and Dottoressa Riccobene in Ciolino.
I just came across an old photo of Signora Maria, who was the subject of the first chapter in Stone Boudoir. She is being held by one of the twin Riccobene sisters, either Antonietta or Rosaria, the pharmacists in Ciolino.
Hello, I just received your article from the NYT May, 30, 1999 about Signora Maria and her childhood and home. So interesting. I am half Sicilian and visited there in 2010. After reading the article, I found you on the web and am looking at your works. It's nice to see the photos and learn about your experiences.
