Work started today on a new pizza parlour just inside the main gate to Barga Vecchia. Workman were also in evidence close to the Teatro dei Differenti as they prepare a new bar/restaurant – lots of wonderful stone being uncovered after being hidden by plaster for many years and further along in Piazza Sargentone no sign of any change so far but word on the street is that a new eating place will shortly be standing in place of what was once the studio of local painter Tiziana Fontana and mosiac artist Irene Varriale

I was in Barga last August and had my picture taken next to that wee fiat 500 in the first photo, who moved it inside the gate?
Hi Zambo,
That is, of course, the fiat of Mario, Barga’s favorite newspaper merchant and a talented musician. His shop is just inside the gate.
See you in May.
