Barga is of course known as Barga art city due to its bustling cultural and artistic life. It has to be said that the bustling cultural life generally takes place when the warm weather is here. During the winter the city wears a slightly different face but for the moment the sun is out, the swallows a diving around in a ridiculously blue sky and the visual arts are booming.
As usual during July and August there is a waiting list for artists wanting to show their work to the public in the various communal gallery spaces.
But one artists who has exhibited his work every year for the past three years in the city has neatly sidestepped the problem and each year exhibits his work in a private gallery.
Visitors to the city can see this artist working as his studio/ atelier is completely open to the public right through the day

This afternoon we tried to interview Rene about what brought him up from the south of Italy to work in this area and just what it is that fascinates him so much with the Barga landscape but Rene is a man of few words when it comes to talking about his own work. As he says he is a painter and not a writer or an actor and so the painting should speak for him.
