Ciao, Fernanda
While Positano bustles with tourists in high season, it wasn't too busy in late October. The town's year-round population is less than 4,000 people.
So when young Fernanda, only 17, lost her life in an accident on the treacherous bends of the roads around the town, Positano was devastated. Everyone knew her or knew someone that knew her.
Stores and restaurants closed, some of them all day long, on the day of her remembrance. Hundreds of colorful balloons were released at the church celebrating her life. People wept openly in the streets, hugging and seeking hugs. Even tourists such as us got swept up in this deeply emotional day.
I dedicate this image to this young lady.
Ciao, Fernanda.
