Prima parte a povestii despre Umberto Tomassello si familia sa am scris-o aici. Si asa cum am promis, a doua parte din aceasta inedita poveste siciliana o gasiti mai jos.

Last week I told you how I found Lisbon in May, we wandered its streets covered in “calçada” and lined with jacaranda trees in blossom, we crossed the bridges over Tagus river and we stopped at Pasteis de Belem, to enjoy the tasty egg tarts – pasteis de nata.
