Twinning ceremony with Gallivare Sweden
Barga this morning is officially twinned with a third partner after East Lothian in Scotland and Hayange in France. Gallivare in Northern Sweden is the new twinning partner. The twinning between the two countries started in December of last year with a document signed in Gallivare and concluded this morning in Palazzo Pancrazi with the Mayor of Barga, Umberto Sereni and Tommy Nyström the Mayor of Gallivare signing the final twinning document. Gallivare is the main town in the Gällivare Municipality in northern Sweden.
Gällivare is a multilingual municipality, a sizeable portion of the population is made up of Finnish and Sami speakers. In fact present at a ceremony this morning were a small delegation of 15 members of the Sami community dressed in traditional costume.
The Sámi are the indigenous peoples of the Arctic Area of the Nordic countries. Reindeer husbandry and fishing have always been important livelihoods of the Sámi, who are closely bound to nature, and for whom nature is important.
Sápmi, the Sámi Country, includes areas of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. Sápmi starts at the middle of Norway and includes the eastern regions of the Kola Peninsula.
Barga & Gällivare – Twin Cities - Torsdagen den 6 december undertecknades ett dokument som utgör startpunkten för samarbete mellan den italienska staden Barga och Gällivare kommun. På plats i kommunhuset fanns Bargas borgmästare Umberto Sereni och kommunalrådet Tommy Nyström som med sina respektive namnteckningar stadfäste de båda kommunernas Twin City-relation (vänorter).
I grunden kommer samarbetet att vila på näringslivsutveckling med fokus på turism. Därutöver kommer även kultur och utbildning att utgöra områden för utbyte och samverkan.source

- 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 ; )
