Magnolias have bloomed early this year. There are several trees in full bloom in the lovely Parco Contessa Casalini in La Villa. You might like to go there soon, the flowers don’t last long.
It is a pity the flowers only last for a few weeks.
It is Carnevale time and there are several celebrations coming up.
The one above is in Sala Parrocchiale in La Villa.
More on this one later.
I have no more information about the events. Try contacting the ProLoco Bagni di Lucca.
