Villa Ada was opened to the public yesterday. Walking up the renewed road to the Villa revealed the beginnings of the renovation of the garden. The trees are thriving.

The old wisteria tunnel is coming back to life.

Villa Ada is looking good.

A good crowd gathered.

The ribbon was put in place.

The gathered crowd moved inside to listen to the speakers.

The officials assembled to cut the ribbon.

The ribbon was cut.

I had a brief look into one of the rooms.

I look forward to seeing it when it has progressed further.

Rita Gualtiera, who has been instrumental in the project for years, says that there will be co-working spaces open to the community, including students. It will be a functional space for all. With internet connection students will have access to training tools and remote work. Adults will find areas of gathering to socio-cultural initiatives.

Congratulations to all involved in this work. The newly revived  Villa Ada is a good addition to the Bagni di Lucca community.
