What are usually some of the small objects?
You are right...:food for instance! You can make a phone call to the grocery nearby, a boy will come and put the stuff in the bucket. You'll pull him back half an euro as a tip... The dialect name for the bucket is "panaro", which means for bread.
Nice.
For a while i thought it was Lisbon the old quarters!!
