Aperitivo Classico 2017

Bar Fod, Cisternino, Italy.

One of the highlights of summer in Cisternino is Aperitivo Classico, a series of Sunday lunchtime concerts at Bar Fod. A drink, a taster of local food and an hour of music from talented young musicians.

A crowd of us book a table there every week and have done so for the last four years.

I love that this includes Zizzi the photographer who is at most of these events snapping away.


The trio in all permutations of duos...


...and the full trio


Fritters and aubergine.


A few words from two of the brothers.


The last concert is always followed by a team photo of staff and customers. I'm the one in the Panama.


Plus a photo of the owners and staff.

An bonus concert for the first Sunday in September. Piano, singer; courgette tartlet.


After the last concert we had an excellent light lunch at Osteria Bell'Italia.

Another series series successfully and enjoyably concluded.
