It is much more common these days to throw things away rather than fix them. Mending can make much more sense. It saves money and reduces the number of unwanted items being thrown away.
If you need your shoes repaired there is an excellent place to take them near Bagni di Lucca. On the road towards Lucca, in Diecimo, you will find a great little shop set back from the road.
Inside Luigi sits working on shoes in need of repair. When I asked how long he had been doing his job he replied with a broad grin, “A long time, I am very old”. Of course he said it in Italian.
The shop is busy. In the short time I was there taking to Luigi several people came in to drop off or pick up shoes. I hope he continues his valuable work for many years to come.
Soffitte in Strada, second hand market, takes place in La Villa, Bagni di Lucca several times a year. The most recent one was held on Sunday.
Here is a small selection of what was for sale.
There are always some tasty treats available as well.

.
It is almost time for the next second hand market in La Villa.
The market will be held in the main street of La Villa this Sunday. There will be antiques, collectables and lots of great things.
The new fruit and vegetable shop opened in Ponte a Serraglio and drew a huge crowd of well wishers…and buyers.
The shop has exceeded expectations. The space is tiny and it is overflowing with great food. There is much more than just fruit and vegetables, which look amazing.
There is also a deli counter filled with delights. It was a bit crowded so I couldn’t photograph much.
There are shelves stocked with handy items for convenient shopping.
There were refreshments, of course, and a huge cake.
A young family is behind this new venture. When things settle a bit I will have a chat with them and find out a bit more…along with the opening hours.
There is an amazing treasure trove in Ponte a Serraglio. The well stocked shop has something for everyone. The pre loved items are very well priced, you will definitely find a bargain.
The shop is in Ponte a Serraglio, not far from Il Monaco on the road towards La Villa.
Alberigi has grown! They have opened a huge new area near their small shop on the road from Chifenti to Fornoli.
You will find all kinds of wonderful things for your home and garden.
I dare you to go there and come away empty handed.

The lovely Tiglio trees provide a canopy for the street market in Fornoli today.
Now we just need some sun.
I told you a while ago about a great new accessory shop in La Villa opened by Giuliana. She has now joined with a friend and moved the shop to Fornoli.
The shop now sells clothes and accessories for men and women.
It is a great addition to Fornoli, and La Villa’s loss. Drop in, say hello and take a look at the excellent selection.
If you are looking for antiques, or interesting old things for your home, garden or wardrobe head off to Lucca on the third weekend of each month for the Antique Market.
The vendors are spread over the streets surrounding Piazza San Giusto, Piazza Antelminelli, San Giovanni and more. There are around 230 vendors in the second oldest market in Italy you can find all kinds of treasures.
Quite a few great things have found their way to my house from the Antique Market.
