Lucio Galletto was the owner of the iconic Lucio's restaurant in Sydney. Like his family's restaurant in the village of Bocca di Magra, Italy, Lucio's helped the local artists by displaying their works in return for meals. Here we see a figure reminiscent of Lucio over the village of Ameglia, near to his hometown, with wine and seafood on offer.
