Monti di Villa
On 25th October at 4.00pm there will be an evening of stories at the Circolo Teatro in Monti di Villa…
Perfume launch
A large crowed gathered at the casino on Sunday evening to celebrate the launch of Acqua di Bagni di Lucca, our own fragrance, developed by the people at Bernabo Spa in Ponte a Serraglio.
The mayor was presented with a bottle of the perfume.
The speakers told us that the new perfume is intended to be an ambassador for Bagni di Lucca. It will be a local product that visitors can take away to remind them of their stay in Bagni di Lucca. Local residents can wear it proudly.
We were invited to try it. I think it will appeal to many people.
Refreshments were offered and everyone happily joined in.
This is an excellent initiative for Bagni di Lucca. Thank you Terme Bernabo for creating this wonderful fragrance.
A perfume for Bagni di Lucca
This looks like fun. The Terme Bagno Bernabo is going to present its perfume to Bagni di Lucca at the Casino in Ponte a Serraglio on Sunday 27th September at 6.30pm.
Bagni di Lucca Games
The Bagni di Lucca games event has been a great success. It is the brainchild of Priscilla Valentino. She and her team have done an excellent job bringing the residents of Bagni di Lucca together for days and nights of fun competition.
This year I was not in the village for the event so I am sharing some photos taken by others.
There are lots of photos on the Bagni di Lucca Facebook pages. I encourage everyone to look for them to see the happy faces of the participants.
The Granchio (crab) team won this year, but the real winner is Bagni di Lucca.
Street market in La Villa
The regular street market will take place on Sunday 30th August. Find a treasure to take home.
The games begin
The opening ceremony for the Bagni di Lucca Games was a great success. 400 people gathered for the parade of the 4 groups taking part in the events to come. 600 stayed for dinner. The fun continued into the night with music and dancing.
I am not in Bagni di Lucca right now so I have taken some photos from the Comune page to share.
Mmm
Here are some more from my lovely friends Frederick and David who have jumped right in to the festivities.
Here is a list of the events.
I think this is the best thing to happen in Bagni di Lucca in a long time. It has brought the residents together in friendly competition. Congratulations the the organisers of the events.
Bagni di Lucca Games 2
The first edition of the Bagni di Lucca Games in 2025 was a huge success. Now it is time for round two.

A good day for Villa Ada
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 Gualtieri, 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.
