Interaction in Sepino Market

Visiting my family in Sepino, Italy reminded me of the simple pleasures in life that many people have forgotten in their busy lives. For instance, walking with my twin sister, Jennifer, through windy dirt roads searching to find a small haven to eat Prosciutto sandwiches and sip on a cold large Peroni beer.

The market during the day and night brought two different atmospheres. During the day the many wives left their house to buy supplies for their home. Husbands gathered at the cafe to discuss the world's economy and especially the worth of the euro compared to the dollar. Watching the men and the women of Sepino interact with one another brought stories and images that needed to be seen.
