There's some Italian writing on the back of the print and after running it through Google Translate, I've come up with a meaning, though there was one word I had trouble working out. So, after trying dozens of possibilities, I'm going with the only wording that makes sense. "Jo and Lucy collect the balls and Tesy on the porch takes them." Bocci ball? It's like lawn bowling. I grew up in a small rural town that had an Italian-American Club that was about a hundred or so yards from my back door. The old men who always seemed to have a game going would chase me away when I stopped to watch.
