Clearing up after the storm

30 metre tall pine tree cut down in piazza

The 30 metre tall pine tree that has stood and given shade in one of piazzas in Barga Vecchia since the late 30's is no more. It had grown too tall and the recent storms had damaged the tree and made it too dangerous to survive.

This morning tree surgeons started the complicated task of cutting down such a tall tree without further damaging the surrounding houses.

The tree surgeon was in action in Barga Vecchia during December last year cutting down another of the tall pines that if left to grow become unstable and dangerous. More images here
