Auser has an excellent warehouse full of furniture and household items waiting to find new homes.

The items in the shop are all donated. Auser is run by volunteers and the proceeds help people in need.
The warehouse is at Via di Pizzorni 4, Chifenti.  It is a bit difficult to see from the road. Stand in front of Bar Tintori on the corner of the car park near the Chain bridge, look  across the Via Brennero, and you will see a small lane. The warehouse is down that lane.

The opening hours are….

Wednesday 10 – 12.30

Thursday 4.30 – 19.00

Friday 10.00 – 12.30

And the first Saturday of every month 10.00 – 12.30

Bagni di Lucca is lucky to have an excellent wine shop…Enoteca Nonsolovino, Bagni di Lucca, Villa.

I met the owner, Guido, many years ago, soon after we came to Bagni di Lucca. He is still here, still sharing his vast knowledge of wine. He loves a chat, drop in and let him help you chose from his excellent selection of wine, spirits and local produce.

His shop is well stocked,

At Via Brannero 48 in Chifenti you will find L.A.C. framing business run by two brothers, Leonardo and Luca.

They have an excellent selection of frames and mirrors and ready to hang art work.


They also make frames to measure.

The brothers are delightfully friendly and helpful.

Look for LAC on the road towards Lucca, just past the piazza in front of the Catene bridge. There is some parking on the side of the road opposite the front door.

Shop local.

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.

Verdemura 2022

The wonderful Verdemura is happening on the Lucca wall this weekend. It started yesterday and continues today until 7.30pm and tomorrow from 9.00am until 7.30pm.

We went yesterday to find the usual excellent selection of plants, garden accessories, hand made items and food.

Tickets are on sale at the entrance and online…verdemura.it

Tickets are €10 or €8 for over 65s or children from 8 – 14.

Online tickets are €8 + €1 booking fee.

I hope the rain doesn’t ruin the event. We haven’t had rain for months, making it difficult for nurseries to get their plants growing and now it rains on their opportunity to sell them.

We found everything we were looking for…and much more.

We are very lucky to have an excellent new shop in La Villa, Bonta Toscane, that sells local produce.

The shop is well stocked with a great selection of cheese, fresh pasta, honey, olive oil and much more…all locally produced.

I was delighted with my purchases yesterday and will happily become a regular shopper there. I encourage everyone to shop local, especially when it is as good as this.
