Well done volunteers

A wonderful group of volunteers has got together to renovate the tired railing along the river in Ponte a Serraglio. Money raised from two events at the casino earlier this year was used for materials. Now the volunteers have stepped in to do the work.

The old sign beside the bridge has also been cleaned.

Thank you to all the workers!

More excellent local events

There is a lot going on in Bagni di Lucca this summer. I’m sure the events are well supported. It takes a lot of work to get things happening.

In Limano.

Fun in Montefegatesi

The recent festival in Montefegatesi was a big success. Matteo Offe, an American friend who has taken to life in his adopted village like a duck to water, has shared some photos with us.

Matteo and his lovely wife Beverly set up a Texas Taco stand which I’m sure was an excellent addition the to event.

Thank you Matteo for your photos and well done on the Texas Tacos!

A new car park at the station

It has taken a while, but the car park area in front of the railway station in Fornoli is almost complete. This is excellent! I often catch the train to Lucca or Florence and lately it has been difficult to find a place for my car. I look forward to using the new area when I return to Bagni di Lucca.

Work is continuing on the repairs the the Chain Bridge.

It is good to see positive improvements in Bagni di Lucca.
