Living statue in Livorno by craic
She definitely wasn't up to the standard of the living statues in Genoa. Some of them were works of art.But she had made an effort. Borrowed her little sister's dolly to be the infant Jesus.
She was doing the sitting-very-still thing.
She was the only living statue I saw in Livorno.
So I dropped some money into her basket.
Suddenly her hand moved and she gave me a slip of paper.
She was wearing purple fluffy woollen gloves!
It gave me quite a turn.
It appeared the slip of paper blessed me in the name of the Virgin Mary and gave me my lucky number. I think it was 9.
