The Verde Mura ("green wall"), is an annual outdoor market event for gardening, plants, and outdoor living. More than 200 exhibitors set up their tents along a cordoned section of Lucca's wall to sell and show their wares. Although they seem dressed for a New England winter, it was above 60 degrees F when I made this picture. Generally speaking, leashed dogs are welcome in most establishments including many restaurants and bars.

The spice seller was doing a vigorous business selling spices and herbs. Point to or say which one you want and she scoops it into a small plastic bag, weighs it, and charges as advertised.

The broom maker/seller sat and made new brooms while waiting for customers. It is a trade passed down through the generations. No mechanized factory, just hands, string, straw, and a handle.

I didn't notice what this woman was selling so captivated was I by her look. She had the coolest hat in town that day and was happy to pose with it.
