Just last week we published an article bemoaning the fact that November is gradually becoming one of the worst months of the year for services in Barga Vecchia (article here) In the article we talked in negative terms about how in the height of the summer season, it is not really a problem finding a place to sit down and eat or enjoy a drink but during the winter months it can get slightly more difficult with many places shut for a rest after the long summer season and effectively shutting the city until the Christmas/New Year holidays begin.
Maybe, now is the time to show the other side of the coin — Barga as a viable working community which sometimes flies in the face of what would be recognised as normal practice. One such occasion when it makes one feel very lucky be a member of this community happened this week in Aristos with the arrival of the great characters of Barga Vecchia, Natale Bertolini with a basket full of still warm freshly roasted chestnuts.
