The annual Pesce and Patate Festival kicked off in Barga this evening ....hmm, maybe I should explain what "Pesce and Patate" means .... Fish and Chips. Yes, for 2 weeks every year Barga holds a Fish and Chips Festival.



Past events can be seen here The large Barga/Scottish community has kept this festival going over the years it looks as though it will get even larger as newspapers in Britain have sent some reporters here to find out just what it is all about. The success of Sergio Casci's film "american cousins" which as nominated for a Bafta award earlier this year and has scenes of a Barga family earning their living by frying fish in Scotland, maybe had something to do with the press interest ?



Who knows ? What is known for sure, is that the best fried fish and chips in Italy is here in Barga, ready and waiting over the next two weeks.



The evening was rounded off with a piano concert at the Teatro Dei Differenti by Nebojsa Maksimovic

Nebojsa was born in Belgrade in 1979. He has been playing piano since he was 2 years old. He has played in numerous recitals and concerto performances in all important halls in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and in Thessaloniki (Greece).
