During its day, Bagheria’s Bar Aurora was a big attraction. Its espresso, pastries, gelato, and decor were well-known throughout post-war Sicily. This photo, sent to my grandmother in New York by her brother Domenico Cuffaro, the owner, is from Bar Aurora’s grand opening.
I remember meeting Dominic in his bar/pastry shop In 1967. He had a remarkable presence in his village, was well respected, and was a huge success. A very proud man!
