Images of Barga during the 30's


An interesting find in a cellar in Barga this week; three boxes containing zinc printing plates from the 30's. The images that have come to light include Mussolini entering Fornaci di Barga and various other events and views of Barga Vecchia between the two wars. The plates have suffered from their 60 years of solitude but restoration work has already began and experts are expecting that once again they will be able to print from the plates and bring these historic images once more into the light.
Barganews is pleased to offer our readers a preview from the first digital scanning of the still untouched plates.
