Rene – exhibition in Barga Vecchia

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 artist who has exhibited his work for many years in the city (article and more images here)  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
