As we reported last week, an image in an email arrived in the barganews offices. It came from a regular reader of barganews, carrying the proud surname of Nardini and postmarked Scotland. Included in the mail were the following words:

"Finally in my cafe* I have a large photograph hanging. It features my grandfather in it Sandrino Nardini (at the back with the white shirt and bald head) and I believe was taken in the late 1930's in the Capretz.

Just wondered if you or your readers knew who the others in it were. My mum reckons the lady is Lucia, the owner, with her brother adjoining Giovanni. Dott. Luciniani (who I remember) is in it but she recognises few others"

We printed off the image and took it to Aristodemo Casciani at his famous bar in Barga Vecchia and let him run through a few names ...

There is some doubt to it being taken in the late 30's though... he would go for more early 40's ?
