Pentolaccia con le caramelle
There was such a large response to yesterdays images and film about the 65th wedding anniversary of Maria and Benvenuto that we decided today to show you another glimpse of normal everyday life in Barga. This time a birthday celebration in Barga Vecchia. The film is of them one by one, blindfolded and with a stick in hand attempting to break open a paper pentolaccia hanging from the ceiling containing sweets and confetti. In the images you can also see them playing with an interactive game involving a screen and webcam. A real mix of tradition and new technology.
Pentolaccia con le caramelle in Barga Vecchia and finally a short video of just what can go wrong when playing the pentolaccia game

W. Shakespeare and 2 guests are online.
- Info : Please, resolve the addition below before post any new comment...
- W. Shakespeare : Lear? Not at all! Those words are lifted from Macbeth's soliloquy:"....L ife's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
- Quentin Compson : Yes, Ma'am. It would be King Lear I believe, an allusion to the fool (and to Lear himself). But there is a more recent connection between Yokapatawpha and the Coldfields with a Biblical reference -- Absalom -- rather than the Shakespearean one to which you allude.
- poetry : Miss Coldfield, considered poetess laureate of Yoknapatawpha County, may simply be quoting Shakespeare, I do believe.
- Quentin Compson : Rosa: Stay in your own novel, please. You have no business in The Sound and the Fury, although I appear in both.
- Quentin Compson : Doggy, May I refer you to three sources on the Action-Theory dialectic? Albert Camus: "To do is to be." Jean-Paul Sartre: "To be is to do." Francis Albert Sinatra; "Do be do be doo." That should answer your question.
- Rosa Coldfield : ... it is a tale Told by and idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
- doggybag : Quentin - your constant focus on ideas over deeds makes you a highly unreliable commentator- quite often it is difficult to tell which of the actions you are suggesting are mere figments of your imagination and which you really do think should be acted upon.
- Quentin Compson : Hey, you two ought to get together sometime.
- Rosa Coldfield : Why of course : )
- Thomas Sutpen : Miss Rosa knows very well who will merely endure, and who will ultimately prevail
- Rosa Coldfield : It is not entirely clear, however, who has been sorest lately or with whom ; )
- Lord Beaconsfield : Welcom back, Barganews, you were sorely missed
- doggybag : fingers and legs crossed
- Santi : Thank you for answering my question.
- Cartier-Bresson : What a wonderful image of the equally wonderful Maestra Paola -- that could be no one else's elegantly gloved hand...
- Guest_4784 : the girl behind the bar is in the ALTANA rest. just inside the old city
- message for Santi : Altana
- Santi : O.K. Which bar is it?
- doggybag : Hello Santi - no - not the Alpino
- Santi : Is the daily image of the girl behind the bar is of Alpino?
- Casey Jones : Summer bus schedule to real station: see Forum Aug 5.
- aquilotta : Hi Doggybag! sorry haven't been in touch for so long. Love your daily images as always.
- Guest_3522 : And here I thought there were roadents eating my main board.
- doggybag : you are welcome Guest_689 ... now if I could just fix the sound streaming system with is doing a serious chipmonk impression on some computers
- Guest_689 : Dear Mr Braganews Thank you for fixing the webcam
- Guest_3522 : Scottish emigration to Malaysia ? - see «link»
- Guest_878 : the most scottish town with the most scottish idiots
- Guest_3522 : Re: Daily Images 26 July: Let us fervently hope that being "Italy's most Scottish town" doesn't bring more of this UK-style tagging and yobbish hooliganism to Barga. The vandals in question were two young men from Scotland. «link»
- doggybag : sorry Guest_4772 - the hordes of barganews technicians are working on it day and night -- expect some results shortly

- guatemalteco : pou salutare riccardo dell,osteria/ grazie
- book exchange : 250 new books just added to the barganews book exchange «link»
- w le piante : la gente non si fida piu' perche' troppi alberi sono stati abbattuti inutilmente, significa che non c'e' rispetto per le piante e quindi per la natura. come mai questi alberi sono sopravvissuti tutti questi anni e improvvisamente si ammalano e diventano pericolosi? forse dovremmo rivedere il modo in cui le piante vengono potate e fare piu' prevenzione?!?
Ma dai, ragazzi, non ho visto il fotografo di Barganews al MIO compleanno! C’e forse un po del nepotismo evidente? Communque, paghi il prezzo duro ora caro O‘Connor: La Melanie e une teenager! Tanti auguri a tutti!
