Bikes, Vintage Cars, Art, Museums and Music
So many things happening in Barga today its been difficult to get round to see them all.
This morning was the morning of the sound of roaring engines, a helicopter buzzing round filming Barga from above, the roar of vintage cars as the 7th Trofeo Biondetti filled up one side of the carpark whilst the other was taken up with the bikes and riders from the Raduno Nazionale Maxiscooter. Previous years Maxiscooter images are here.
The 7th Trofeo Biondetti is an annual event for racing cars from the 20's and 30's ... more images of the vintage cars from previous years can be seen here
This afternoon, it was the turn of the artists to show their stuff: A double exhibition of paintings by Sergio Fini and Luciano Valensin at the Ex Scuole Elementari More images here
A retrospective exhibition at the Fondazione Ricci of the work by Cesare Puccinelli. More images here.
A tiny exhibition tucked in to a small gallery in Barga Vecchia from Giorgione, a painter who came over the mountains from Modena to exhibit in Barga has been overlooked by most of the critics and public. It is a shame as hidden away in that tiny gallery there are some gems. A couple of beautiful paintings that people maybe ought to spend some time with to discover. Hopefully the lack of people at the opening night will not discourage Giorgione from coming to show us his latest work in the future. In the meantime more of his images are here
.... and the evening ended with an open night at the Barga Museum. Here at barganews we have already written articles about this jewel of a museum up by the Duomo. This evening it was open from 9 till midnight with a guided tour and an enchanting mother and daughter keyboard and violin concert outside the main door to the museum
