Motogiro D’Italia in Montefegatesi
The 23rd edition of the Motogiro d’Italia happened over the last week. 200 riders joined the historical re-enactment of the oldest and most prestigious motorcycle race. It is done in stages on vintage motorcycles.
On the final day riders stopped in Montefegatesi before heading down to Circolo dei Forestieri for lunch.
Here are some photos Mateo has kindly shared with us.
Montefegatesi had a fun day.
Photos from the Montefegatesi chestnut festival
I wasn’t able to attend the recent festival in Montefegatesi, but friend Matteo Offe was there and took some great photos of what looked like a fun day. Montefegatesi has a great community spirit and it is excellent to see people come together and enjoy themselves.
Thank you Matteo for sharing a great day with us.

Exhibition in Montefegatesi
I love these objects created from metal scraps! The exhibition will begun in Montefegatesi on Sunday 18th July at 4.00pm.
I can see several pieces sitting in my garden. I spotted his work a little while ago in a window near La Villa. I look forward to seeing more.
Winter
Lately we have had snow in the higher villages in Bagni di Lucca. Along the Lima River it has mostly been raining. In a brief sunny time I drove up towards Montefegatesi to see some snow. It had melted in the village but the mountains around it looked gorgeous. The blue sky made a beautiful backdrop. In fact I think it was the star of the show today.
I drove through heavy fog on the way up. From above you can see it settled in the valleys.
Bare trees look wonderful.
Montefatesi always looks spectacular from any angle.
We have had some sun by the river. It doesn’t last long, but it is most welcome when it appears. Time to go for a walk or just to enjoy being outside.
It has been an interesting year, one which most of us will be happy to say goodbye to.
I wish you all a Happy New Year with health and happiness.
Beautiful Montefegatesi
Montefegatesi is the highest of the villages that make up Bagni di Lucca. I think it is also one of the most picturesque.
It is a stunning mountain village.
The road to Montefegatesi
Autumn is a beautiful time to drive to Montefegatesi,the highest of the Bagni di Lucca villages. The mountain road is lined with trees in full autumn colour right now.

I went up further to Albereta.
The glorious colour will not last much longer. I am pleased I went for a drive before the recent lockdown.
Montefegatesi in autumn
The views of Montefegatesi are gorgeous in any season. Before I left Bagni di Lucca in November autumn colour was beginning to appear.
When I return early in the new year winter will be in full swing, bringing its own beauty.
Rural Bagni di Lucca
I love to see traditions continue in Bagni di Lucca. It is great to see a shepherd bringing the goats down from their grazing. It was excellent to see a young shepherd. I hope this means the old ways will go on.
A little further along the road from Monti di Villa I spotted some healthy looking cattle grazing.
You never know what you will see as you drive between the villages.
Bella Bagni di Lucca
