A summer celebration, Benvenuta Estate, was held in Fornoli yesterday. It was a gorgeous day in Piazza Aldo Moro. Lots of people came.
There were stalls selling arts and crafts.
There was food.
Children and parents got together to play wonderful old fashioned games.
Stories and music were provided by Luca Fabrizio and Pietrolino…it was great fun.
Later on there was dinner under the stars. I couldn’t stay for that, but I am sure it was every bit as good as the rest of the day…welcome summer.
Bella Bagni di Lucca 
Lovely occasion – and a nice way to forget about that afternoon’s seismic shock!
We are not supposed to be talking about earthquakes.
What is the game or purpose of the yellow box with holes?
In one of the photos you will see the little boy dropping a purple snake into the hole. The stick is then used to try to retrieve the snake through the hole. That is why they are trying to peer in the holes.
It must have been a fun day! Sorry we had to miss it as we were travelling back home….
It was an excellent day and well supported by people having fun.
What a wonderful way to celebrate a summer day. I love all the children…they look like they had a great time.
I love to watch the children here, they jump right in and enjoy themselves with their parents.
Looks like another great day in Italy
