Poetry, food and music at Casa Pascoli



Open day at the Giovanni Pascoli Museum. The house of the poet was open to visitors this afternoon free of charge. Many people came up the hill to Castelvecchio Pascoli to enjoy the late autumn sunshine and listen to some of his poetry being read aloud in the grounds of his house.

The Barga Band were there in force to lend a musical note to the whole proceedings which all in all, had a distinctive "last century" feel to it with people in period costume roasting chestnuts and toasting barley to make coffee in the narrow stone streets.

More images and two MP3 files of the poetry and music can be found here
