In February we published an article about a small house fire in Barga Vecchia which could have easily turned into something with much more serious consequences where it not for the prompt intervention of the Lake Angels (article here) At the end of that article we wrote about the condition of the hydrants and hose pipes dotted around Barga Vecchia and asking if maybe the time was ripe for a checkup as the "break in case of fire " glass protecting the hoses from the elements were in fact broken and had been for a number of years in most cases.
15th February 2008 – the Fire Hydrants in a sorry state
It is with a certain pleasure that we noted in the following weeks, technicians from the Comune engineering department servicing the fire hydrants and hoses right through the city.
Maybe it is the squeaking wheel that gets the oil but when something is done right we should stand up and say so.
Well done somebody in the Comune – now lets just hope that we don't have to use these things in the near future.

Good to hear, no fire, non smoke
Here is a verbal poem entitled – No smoke without a fire
Io non smoko
tu non smoki
egli non smokano
noi non smokiamo
voi non smokiate
essi non smokano

What is up with the temp there? Why is it warm there now, just when I left??

Bravo to the staff of Barganews. Good, solid muck-raking journalism — the kind that keeps lazy pols awake at night — is alive and well in the Garfagnana.

I’ve seen the future, and it works but not in Garfagnana … is Barga actually in Garfagnana ? I think not Mr Steffens

The answer to that question is not as simple as you think, Mr. Baker. “Mediavalle” is a rather recent creation, spinning off several towns like Barga — that had always considered themselves part of the Garfagnana — into a somewhat artificial entity defined by their position in the landscape, rather than their cultural references. But who am I to argue with a graduate of the University of Michigan? By the way, you have no idea how often that “future” quote is thrown back at me! Even now that the future in question is decidedly the past.

Caro Deetry,
Si, va bene, ma la domanda giusta e quella: Che cosa hai smokato?
