Street market
Soffitte in Strada, second hand market, takes place in La Villa, Bagni di Lucca several times a year. The most recent one was held on Sunday.
Here is a small selection of what was for sale.
There are always some tasty treats available as well.
The next market will be held on 30th December,

Find a bargain
It is almost time for the next second hand market in La Villa.
The market will be held in the main street of La Villa this Sunday. There will be antiques, collectables and lots of great things.
Just what we need in Ponte a Serraglio
The new fruit and vegetable shop opened in Ponte a Serraglio and drew a huge crowd of well wishers…and buyers.
The shop has exceeded expectations. The space is tiny and it is overflowing with great food. There is much more than just fruit and vegetables, which look amazing.
There is also a deli counter filled with delights. It was a bit crowded so I couldn’t photograph much.
There are shelves stocked with handy items for convenient shopping.
There were refreshments, of course, and a huge cake.
A young family is behind this new venture. When things settle a bit I will have a chat with them and find out a bit more…along with the opening hours.
An exciting addition to Ponte a Serraglio
A fruit and vegetable shop is about to open in Ponte a Serraglio, something we have needed for some time.
The shop will also sell bread and local products and will be beside Bar Italia.
The opening will be on 7th April. I’m sure everyone will support the new venture.
A shop of treasures
There is an amazing treasure trove in Ponte a Serraglio. The well stocked shop has something for everyone. The pre loved items are very well priced, you will definitely find a bargain.
The shop is in Ponte a Serraglio, not far from Il Monaco on the road towards La Villa.
La Villa market
The latest street market in La Villa was a big success. Lots of people gathered looking for a bargain.
Take a look at the treasures on offer.
I found a wonderful old torch holder which has now found a home at Casa Debbio.
Kerp an eye out for the next market.
Alberigi has expanded
Alberigi has grown! They have opened a huge new area near their small shop on the road from Chifenti to Fornoli.
You will find all kinds of wonderful things for your home and garden.
I dare you to go there and come away empty handed.

Shady trees
The lovely Tiglio trees provide a canopy for the street market in Fornoli today.
Now we just need some sun.
Garden show
It wasn’t great weather for the first day of Verde Mura, the garden show on the wall of Lucca, but it didn’t stop the crowds.
We went in search of peonies and hydrangeas for our mountain house, but it also fun to wander to see all the gorgeous plants on offer.
There are other things to see and buy too, not all garden related.
It wouldn’t be an exhibition without food.
Verdemura is on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd of April as well. Don’t miss it if you are in the area. http://www.verdemura.it
We found peonies, georgeous hydrangeas, aquilegias, daphne, and some acanthus…which will all be planted today.
