That yellow sign, written hilariously in Sicilian, says:

“Only one person in Bagheria sells watermelons which are red and sweet. They call him Francu, King of the watermelons.”

    Love those little stands he has in front for displaying the melons. Perhaps they are part of the royal furniture. 🙂

    1. LOL! I think they are his crowns, being put to good use whilst he’s not wearing them!
