Cobbler in Positano, Amalfi Coast, Italy
Here is a little kick-off video for you, taken last spring on a trip to the Amalfi Coast in Italy. The Amalfi Coast is a beautiful area on the "shin" of the Italy "boot". My favorite town I saw there is called Positano, built in the cliffs over the Mediterranean and shaded by arbors of tiny fuchsia flowers.
This cobbler crafts simple leather sandals for passing tourists. Customers can pick from different leathers and watch their shoes be made.
Notice what he is wearing- an ADIDAS long-sleeve tee and a good pair of jeans, a universal uniform. (Although as a native Italian, 'all day I dream about soccer' may have special meaning.)
