Scope and content

Loulou Pizzuto and two of her sisters, Carmen (centre) and Dorothy picking and eating mulberries from a tree. The trees were in a private field beneath Dingli Cliffs and they belonged to Ganni 'Tal-Marida, a farmer from the nearby village. Ganni used to trust the Pizzuto family to help themselves to fruit as they had never stolen anything.
