Perutz Primera 200

This is one of those rolls that begins in a place and ends in a totally different place, with another place in between the two.

It’s a tripping roll! Well, you can read the dates if you want to know but they’re printed the English way – because the poorly placed button on the back of my camera keeps pressing itself accidentally switching between options. This film roll begins at home in Rome, goes through a working week in Sicily and ends with a groom at the barber on his wedding day (I was one of the two photographers for that wedding). The barber shop is probably the most folkloristic I ever visited in recent times, it still has the poster of the 1982 World Championship’s winner Italian football team. The two locals waiting for their turn were like from a time machine, really. Italy is a wonderful place, such a shame it’s so badly run by our politicians.
