Girgentana goats, art and firework in Southern Sicily

 An evening and a night with the horns of Girgentana goats... I was yesterday in a farmhouse guided by a woman, Valeria Casuccio, at one of the breeders of this animal, Slow Food presidium. In Joppolo Giancaxio, near Raffadali, in the province of Agrigento, Southern Sicily.

Well, it was really very interesting. First of all the facts and the characteristics. This goat has long horns, it let Jupiter grow and it comes from another goat. If I remember well, from Afghanistan. The uses of this animal are "limited" to produce milk, which would be very similar to women's milk.  

Unfortunately for you my mobile phone was soon out of charge and so I only had the time to take some photos and to shoot some videos. Well, the pics are arriving sooner or later and more time for the video...

Well, the sound is here "louder" than in other images I have shot for my Periscope travel profile in Italian...



And, maybe, I had to go by car to the town to be next to the firework. But it costs and I was also very tired after weeks of movement...
