Caledonian Piping Club play Piazza Angelio
The Caledonian Pipe Band from Saltcoats, North Ayrshire, Scotland were in Barga today for a reception in their honour at the Palazzo Pancrazi. The mayor of Barga, Umberto Sereni presented then with a commemoration plaque and flags for their visit to the city. They in their turn presented at the city with gifts from Saltcoats.
Then it was down to business - a concert of piping music in Piazza Angelio to celebrate the connection between Barga and Scotland.
A crowded piazza then enjoyed a series of set pieces from the pipes and drums of the Caledonian Pipe Band
Temperatures in the Piazza were in the high 30’s making it heavy going for the tartan clad musicians but in the classic and time honoured tradition - they soldiered on.

- Info : Please, resolve the addition below before post any new comment...
- everyone : you will be sorely missed.
- 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
- Guest_4772 : Please can the web cam with view of sommocolonia be fixed as it makes my day
- Guest_878 : è più bella alla volta dei Menchi, c'è un barista molto attraente.
siamo di fronte ad un falso storico!
la cornamusa, che ora è stata scambiata per uno strumento musicale, era in realtà uno strumento di tortura, e talmente micidiale che venne usato rarissimamente, infatti bastava la minaccia di una condanna a “due ore di cornamusa!” per scoraggiare qualsiasi malintenzionato.
Da un recente studio del national center of healt di philadelphia, è emerso che il suono di questo strumento ha sorprendenti qualità distruttive, infatti, oltre ad uccidere le piante in un raggio di cinquanta metri, provoca ingenti dusturbi anche all’uomo, quali nausea, emicrania, irritabilità, depressione. alcuni pazienti sottoposti a trattamento prolungato hanno riportato sterilità, tachicardia, tendenze suicide, gravi disturbi della personalità e un incontrollato e irrefrenabile terrore per gli “uomini con la gonna”.
