The schools in the area have all been given a day off tomorrow (Saturday) after the Mayor of Barga decided that it would be too hazardous to move all the students first thing in the morning with black ice on the roads. The Barga Jazz Club was also closed this evening but most restaurants in the city stayed open for business.
