Scenes from Sienese Life

in Glory

I’m strolling with The Squeeze in front of the restaurants and bars that line the edge of Piazza del Campo. Though I say so as shouldn’t, my ‘fro is looking particularly good, the result of that soft Siena water. In front of us steps a nattily dressed older gent wearing a red beret. He holds up a single hand, traffic-cop style. Stop. He puts his right hand into the inside left breast pocket of his jacket, and with a theatrical flourish he produces a shiny steel comb, which he offers me.

We cracked up.

Nightime in the big city. High heels click clicking, fast, receding down an alleyway. A cat shrieks. A dog yelps in pain. The hair’s in town.

And Jeremy has now edited the previous two comments to reflect reality, rather than reflecting The Squeeze’s computer’s memory.
