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.

Pizza under the stars at Circolo dei Forestieri on 10th August.

Classical music at the Casino in Ponte a Serraglio on 13th August.

The irrepressible Roberto Lucchesi in a tutu should be enough to ensure this children’s day on 13th August will be a success.

Morena Guarnaschelli will display her art at the Community centre in Ponte a Serraglio from Saturday 12th August. The inauguration is on Saturday at 5.00pm.

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.
