Thank you to my lovely friends Kerry and Moira for taking photos for us. I wish I had been there to join in the fun. I’m sure the next couple of months are going to be exciting in Ponte a Serraglio.

Bella Bagni di Lucca 
Oh, man, wish I was there!
Me too!
A great initiative and I wish success to all of them. Thank you Kerry and Moira for the lovely photos.
It is a great idea, and it looks as though everything is going well.
There are also the exhibiting artists at La Rondine Gallery, Tony Scott, Dick & Wayne Warren from China Art Projects in Hong Kong and Beijing. The Sculpture Symposium, Ryoichi Suzuki, Sarah Danays, Douglas Robinson, Petra Boshart, Michael Cartwright – All part of the festival.
Thank you for the extra information. I wish I was there to be part of it.
It was fascinating to see the hive of activity when I was in Ponte in both May & June. It’s wonderful to the results of all that hard work. A really good reason for a party! I’m sure this is the start of something big.
It looks like fun. I am looking forward to seeing the festival u fold from afar.
I’m so glad you have some photos. I was there after dark and my camera is hopeless with night time. Was a great evening. I particularly loved Melissa Moore’s photos.
I think it is wonderful for Ponte a Serraglio to have this happening.
