So what has happened in the castle of Barga over the past few weeks ? Is it really true that the GOBBO of Barga has finally come down from his tower and started mixing with real people ? He has been sighted on numerous occasions during October  running around the town with of all things, a bag across his broad shoulders containing , a mobile phone and a digital camera !!   Has something inside that fetid brain of his finally worked out that the century is nearly over  and it's time to think about the coming future ? BARGANEWS.COM has been out to interview the bent shrouded wonder . What they managed to write down was not suitable for the gentle stomachs of most readers but they did manage to get their hands on some of the images taken by the GOBBO during the only time of the year that he feels really at home with the other inhabitants of Barga , of  course we mean - HALLOWEEN.

Back to BARGANEWS.COM

It seems that he has been collecting old umbrellas left  lying around the castle walls and using them as a kind of  "gobbo-canvas" Strangely enough  he has been exhibiting these doomy daubs  around the walls of the castle in the streets . Stranger still, people have started to steal these works . BARGANEWS.COM wonders what do they intend doing with these grisly objects ? After all, nobody in their right mind would be seen dead walking around with one of these things when it's raining and they can't put them on their own walls as everybody knows that an umbrella in the house brings bad luck. SO, where are the Gobbo's  umbrellas ??

And one last thing.  Why is the President of Finland  , Martti Ahtisaari, sending E-mails to the Comune of Barga about some missing yellow bicycles ?? Is it true that there is on the net an image of the Gobbo  astride a yellow bike in the centre of Barga ??
