The Long Hair of the Law is Watching You

In picturesque San Gimignano last Summer, I was fascinated by a pretty young municipal policewoman (actually it turns out she was una vigilessa, a traffic warden) . She was stylish, and chic, with an air of detatched Italian coolness that I loved and the longest ringlets imaginable on a guardian of the law. She wasn't really watching the tourists, just preparing to get in her car and drive off. This is one of two photos of Signorina Poliziotta that I've posted today.
