La Gazza Ladra/The Thieving Magpie (Weekend Street/Reflections # 28)


 Florence, Italy

La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie in English) is a pretty cool name for a jewelry store. The woman in front of the shop was either smoking a cigarette or blowing me a kiss.😀

La gazza ladra is also an opera semiseria by Gioachino Rossini. 


I hope you are having a good summer!

Now you can link reflections and/or street photography. 

Please no posed pictures, portraits, animals, etc. unless of course there is a reflection.

It is interesting how that worn European look is so hard for establishments to imitate. Just so genuine.

Blowing you a kiss is my vote. But I still am thinking she is the watch lady her thieving group.
