It was mid-afternoon on the first day of three days of celebrating Sant’Agata, the town’s patron. Thousands of people were out, following the procession as a way of marking their devotion. But sometime during the day, they were going to need a snack, just like this little head-to-toe pink little girl.

Bonus fact: you know those plants that are called “broom”? And see that broom there in the background? Guess what it’s made from. Yep: broom plants.
