Claudio invited me to have a Saturday lunch with his parents, who raised him. They live in a high rise condo above the city, above Vomero. I met little Vulci ( volcano) who erupts in barks every once in awhile. He was a little leery of the camera.
I had a wonderful time. It's been a long time since I have had any kind of family experience...I felt like part of the family here. I loved them both and Vulci too.
The grandfather would ask questions of me and Claudio would translate. It was so lovely to see how they took turns bringing the food out and the plates back to the kitchen. They shared in it all.
I loved seeing their wedding picture and 50th anniversary picture. They are wonderful people. Claudio's grandmother is just beautiful....as she was when she was 18. She is an expert chef....
