Not less remarkable are, in this beautiful country, the peasantry of the mountains and the sea-coast. The most varying forms and the richest colours are to be met with, from the coarse cloth drawers and shirt of the fisherman, to the brilliant costume of certain of the Abruzzi, from the Phrygian cap of the Neapolitans to the peaked hat of the Calabrians—a slender, tall, and sunburnt people.
In the midst of this motley assemblage of every variety of dress and colour, the graceful acquajolo ([fig. 36]), that is, the stall of the dealer in oranges and iced water, forms a most picturesque object.
