Two inaugurazione this weekend in Barga for two very different activities. The first was in Barga Giardino at the now revamped and rebranded Cantina del Vino close to the bridge. A large selection of wine is now on sale at the Cantina. The Barga Band were there to give the occasion a bit of a musical edge as the tape was cut in the presence of the Mayor of Barga Marco Bonini and also the ex Mayor of Barga, Umberto Sereni in attendance.
Not 10 minutes later the focus of attention moved down to Fornaci di Barga with the reopening of the Solo Music shop in Via della Repubblica 200. The well known sax player Nico Lombardi has taken over the music shop and is hoping to capitalise on the fact that it is the only music shop in the whole of the Media Valle and Garfagnana … the next one can only be found down at Lucca.
Taking into account just how many bands there are in this area and just how strongly musicians are represented in Barga, surely he has made a good business decision in opening his new shop. Time will tell on that one.
