On our honeymoon, Mina and I researched our ancestry, and drove deep into the central hills of Sicily to find the small town of “Santo Stefano Quisquina” where my great grandfather was from. With help from a local man, Domenico, we found one very elderly distant cousin. Next, Domenico ‘adopted us’ as family, invited us into his home, and his wife cooked us lunch! Before leaving town, Domenico gave us a tour of the old town center with a fountain and many of the town elders hanging around chatting in the afternoon sun. This is a portrait of one of them!

Your photo reminds me of the village my family is from in Greece – only this looks much larger! A lot of the villages on the island had small town squares also, although I don’t think any of them had fountains.
