Our normally quiet Lima River is brown and raging today after torrential rain.


We needed rain and we got it.

The Municipality of Bagni di Lucca has launched a competition to create a logo for the events of the area.
The idea is to unify the calendar of events and initiatives in the area under one banner…a great idea. There will be two versions, an image for summer events and one for winter events.
Entries close 3rd October. Details on the poster below.

The new school in Scesta will be inaugurated on 8th September.

There will be an end of summer party on 8th September in Ponte a Serraglio.

A photography exhibition will begin on 15th September at the Casino in Ponte a Serraglio. Also on 15th and 17th there are events in Gombereto.


On 17th September a collection of vintage cars will be at Piazza Aldo in Fornoli.

The English cemetery has had more gravestones renovated and there will a celebration on Saturday 9th September.

A wonderful group of volunteers has got together to renovate the tired railing along the river in Ponte a Serraglio. Money raised from two events at the casino earlier this year was used for materials. Now the volunteers have stepped in to do the work.





The old sign beside the bridge has also been cleaned.

Thank you to all the workers!
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.
