The answer was a fairly predictable “No” As expected, the new mayor of Barga is MARCO BONINI with over 68% of the votes in his favour. It could be said that the people of Barga have voted to keep the “ship on course” following along the direction set by his  predecessor Umberto Sereni. 6225 valid votes (plus 136 blank slips and 182 votes deemed not valid)
