This Christmas (1999) the comune of Barga put up lots of Christmas trees in the
Castle of Barga. They then employed an artist GIORGIO to paint the white oil drums that
the tree were standing in.Giorgio decided that as the trees were to be seen at night, maybe it
was better to paint them at night, maybe that way the colours would be more natural.
( there are other people who maintain that they were painted at night as during the day
Giorgio is generally still in bed ) what ever the case he painted them by candle light .
