As the summer gradually starts to wind down and the nights are perceptibly drawing in, people start to think about making some space in their cantinas to store the winter wood. This morning in Barga Vecchia could be heard the sound of a motorbike being kicked over and finally bursting into life. A Gilera Giubileo from 1960 in wonderful condition (still with the original front tire) was brought out into the open and lovingly oiled and dusted down before once again being returned to the dark of the cantina like some fine bottle of wine.
