A public toilet wins the Best Toilet Prize for 2005



Following a letter to the visitors book in March 2000, from a French tourist visiting Barga for the first time and complaining about the condition of the public toilets, barganews decided to do a survey of all the toilets available to the growing number of tourists arriving in Barga.

The idea was if the images were published on the internet and then voted on .... then maybe the people responsible for the condition of the toilets might take a bit more care and maybe, just maybe, the standards would rise.

This in fact precisely what did happen. If you check out the images of the toilets from five years ago and compare them to the images now you can see a great leap in the right direction with many being completely rebuilt and disabled access becoming the norm.

It was mainly the toilets in Barga Vecchia who showed the way with the 1999 and 2000 prize going to Osteria Angelio and Capretz followed by the surprise win in 2001 of the Xray dept. at the Hospital then in 2004 it moved down the hill to the Barga Giardino area with the Pasticceria Lucchesi taking the coveted prize.

This year, another surprise as it has gone to the newly built public toilets below the Belvedere Alberto Magri ... the new car park toilets to be exact.

So just what was it that finally put a public toilet back into the winners circle ? .... complete article and more images here
