Description
(Original Caption) 7/28/1928-Sicily, Italy: THE STRANGE HAND LANGUAGE OF SICILY! This unusual embrace differs from hand motions. It constitutes a challenge to a duel. Two Romeos, courting the hand of one damsel, settle their differences in a peculiar fashion. One will approach his rival and, embracing him tightly, will bite him on the ear. If blood issues from the wound, a duel to the death must follow. If, on the other hand, there is no blood, an ordinary duel is fought.
