Not quite 10 o' clock on a crisp spring morning in Barga Vecchia. 26th March 2002. Aristodemo has not yet arrived but already his bar is open for business. There are three people seated eating breakfast and two standing chatting at the bar. So, it's true, the changing of the guard has taken place!
 
Please welcome Marino, Aristo's son in law, who is carrying on the family tradition. The bar has been given a new breath of life, a new direction and Aristodemo can at last, start to take a well earned rest...except that nobody seems to have told Aristo! He is still there each day making music, playing his wonderful mix of post war Italian popular songs with that unique Aristo Jazz touch that has bewitched his clients for generations. A warm welcome from barganews to Marino and Aristo "may your shadow never lessen"
