Once every 25 years procession with Statue of Mary



Every 25 years the statue of Mary is taken out of the S.S Annunziata church in Barga Vecchia and paraded through the city and around the walls of the castle before once again returning to the church where she will remain for another 25 years before the next outing. That day has arrived. The procession lead by the Bishop of Pisa, Mons. Alessandro Plotti and accompanied by the Barga Filharmonica Band "G. Luporini" passed through the city which had been decorated with candles on almost all the window ledges, doorways and walls. Many more images here
