Hey Daddy! It’s your day!
Felice giorno del padre. (Fay-lee-chay jawr-noh del pah-dray.)
Celebrate!!
But if you’re Italian (or Spanish or Portuguese), your day has come and gone. Festa del Papa was March 19.
Well, never mind. Here are some Proud Sicilian Padres.
I’m celebrating with my daddy today. Yay, padre mio! Thanks for dragging me across the Big Pond at 14 and igniting my Euro-Lust. I knew then I’d return for good. (Never mind how many decades it took.)

When Gwyenth Paltrow was ten years old her father took he to Paris leaving her mother and brother in London. He told her “I wanted you to see Paris for the first time with a man who would always love you no matter what.”
How nice. What a romantic guy!
Jann,
beautiful. Those shots warmed my insides. Absolutely beautiful. Xxxx
So glad you celebrated w/ your daddy. I did, too. He is the greatest man in my life…then Mr. Liverpool!
🙂 Oh, I hope Mr. Liverpool doesn’t see this! (Or does he already know??)
Jann, I so enjoy your people shots! You have a gift for capturing their expressions and piquing my interest into their individual stories!
Debbie, I’m so glad. I love when you stop by. Grazie mille!
Father’s are so special no matter where they are. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
Yes, they sometimes get ignored because mothers seem so central to families, but where would we be w/out our Daddy-O? xxxxx
Your photos convey such emotion, with people or without. How do you do that? 😉
Narelle, how kind of you to say so.
So happy for you Jann! E tuo papa’ naturalmente.
I’m a lucky daughter!
Do you know if thatMarch 19 date was chosen because it falls on the day of a certain saint, or for some other religious reason?
Happy you asked, Sam. Because I happen to know the answer to your question. March 19 is Saint Joseph’s Day–father of Jesus, so I guess it was a natural fit for a Catholic country.
Auguri to your Dad! I hope you have a lovely day together. Fabulous photos- as always!
Thanks Anitre. We did have a great day! Glad to hear from you–as always!
Ciao Jann, Receiving your blog on Fathers Day is for me a real treat. Your capturing of the Padres pleasure in your photo’s is wonderful. I’m sure a special meal awaits them on there return home. Enjoy Ragusa, wish I was there, John
Ciao John–great to hear from you, as ever.
