Our daughter Erica Nardini, her husband Paolo and their son (our grandson)Lucca are in Barga for an extended stay. I check www.barganews.com frequently and was so excited to see a large photograph of my grandson, Lucca, disquised as a "hunched over old man" for bafana!! My Italian is quite limited but "Bene, bene Barga News!!"
I also have two other grandsons Davide and Noah Tortelli who have lived in Barga...but I didn't see any photos of them.
I have visited your wonderful town several times since 1991 and absolutely love being there...such beautiful people...My personal greetings to Paolo, Erica, Luca, Noah, Davide, Luciano and Michele Tortelli, Bruna, Ronato and Luccia, Nona Rosa Nardini ...love and best wishes for a wonderful year!!!
