IL CENTRO - Lanciano - Tailory, an ancient craft still flourishing for custom sizes - Sartoria, un mestiere antico A Lanciano tiene il mercato dell'abito «su misura»
Not only oversize, but also clothes for special occasions: gentlemen and ladies still wish for the unique piece. Olga Casalanguida, for 30 years now one of the most appreciated tailoresses in town, says the price for a lady's 2-piece suit is 300,000 Lire for the work. Giuseppe Del Bello is now retired, but he still remembers when he made the Cardinal vest for Pope Pacelli. What is important - says Olga - is that the client trusts you.

IL CENTRO - INTRODACQUA - Boars near the village / Cinghiali avvistati in paese
In the area called Capo l'aia a boar crossed the street in front of a car. It is probably the same animal that destroyed a cottage patio nearby. People are afraid of boars, which can become very dangerous.
