The inauguration is today Saturday 7th September from 5.00pm until 7.30pm.
Borgo degli Artisti exhibition
The inauguration of the first art exhibition at the newly regrouped Borgo degli Artisti was well attended. People spilled out onto the bridge on Sunday afternoon to see the work of local artists. It was great to see many familiar faces along with new people.
People were clearly enjoying themselves inside the gallery.
I wish I had been there to see the art up close.
Thank you to AnnBeth and Rita Gualtiera for the photos.
It is excellent to see the Borgo degli Artisti up and running again.
The exhibition continues until 24th August…5.00pm until 8.00pm each day.

Borgo degli Artisti
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.

A new use for the old theatre in Ponte a Serraglio
There is a lovely old theatre in Ponte a Serraglio which has been largely unused for decades. I do remember dance classes there many years ago.
It is a excellent space and it is great to see that it will soon come alive as a place for art exhibitions and much more..
Auser is responsible for the new venture. They are creating wonderful area for Ponte a Serraglio. After much work it will open on Saturday 3rd June at 3.30pm. Two local artists , Sharane Darlington and Meg Reilly, will be the first to show their work.
The theatre is in the main street leading from Ponte a Serraglio to La Villa on the same side of the road as Bar Italia.
Once open it will be a community space to be used by everyone, with books, music, games, computers and art. Well done (again) the team at Auser.
Beautiful things in Bagni di Lucca
There is a new shop in Bagni di Lucca, Villa. It is called Flora Gioh Donatella. We are lucky to have artist Scarlaty Arribabene and her beautiful designs in our town.
She studied modern art at Moma in New York and now shows and sells her work in her shop in Bagni di Lucca. All pieces from Flora Gioh Donatella are made with love by Scarlaty. She makes jewellery with a botanical theme. Each piece of the collection represents leaves, flowers and delicate fragments of nature.
She also makes deliciously fragrant candles.
Donatella is a line of paintings that combine shapes and textures, harmony and contradiction.
The shop is bright, spacious and inviting.
I met the delightful artist recently and I wish her the best in her new venture.
Flora Gioh Donatella is in Via Umberto I, at the post office end of the street.
Art and Music
The art exhibition by Morena Guarnaschelli and Deenagh Miller at Albergo La Corona in Ponte a Serraglio was declared open last night. It continues until 13th August.
The art works are scattered through the entrance to the hotel and the restaurant. Be sure to go downstairs to the lovely terraces by the river for more.
There are also a couple of pieces by Giuseppe Zago whose exhibition is currently on in Montefegatesi.
After I attended the opening of the exhibition I enjoyed the concert in the garden of the Comune building in La Villa. There was a delightful quartet playing for us on a cool evening. I’m sorry the photo is not better, but the lighting from my position was not the best.
It is wonderful to see things happening in Bagni di Lucca!
Art exhibition at Albergo La Corona
Two local artists are holding an exhibition at the Albergo La Corona in Ponte a Seraglio. Morena Guarnaschelli and Deenagh Miller will be showing their work from 30th July until 13th August.

I managed to chop off the phone number for the hotel, which is a good thing because it is incorrect. Here is the correct number. 0583 923762.
