The terrace beside the river will be a great place to sit to enjoy the view.

Borgo degli Artisti

Posted on May 28, 2024 by Debra Kolkka

Borgo degli Artisti, the group formed to organise and promote artistic activities in Bagni di Lucca has been revived after an absence of a few years. What an excellent thing to happen! The group has been missed.

The first event for the new group was held at the Casino in Ponte a Serraglio, with poetry, music and art.

The group is a non profit, non political association with the aim of supporting local art and crafts. In its previous form the group organised the wonderful art completion in the Villa Fiori park, among many other things. It will be excellent to see more events in the future.
