There will be a spring concert at the Teatro Accademico in La Villa on Saturday 27th April.
It should be a fun evening.

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.

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!
