Il Most Beautiful Village in Italy that we admire today is Barga, in the province of Lucca, Tuscany.
La Serchio Valley enchanted the poet Giovanni Pastures and, after him, the Scottish artist John Bellamy, who took up residence in this “new Provence” and found a source of inspiration for his painting full of light.
The visitor discovers this enchantment by entering the caravans and alleys of Barga, which reveals its spirit in the aerial vision of the millenary Cathedral, in the screech of swallows that suddenly dart in the segment of sky between the houses, in the chime of the hour. accompanying the steps.
The urban structure of Barga has remained more or less that of the communal age (XII-XIV century), marked by the web of the streets that open up between the irregularity of the buildings.
Barga, "the cypresses of Arringo in the valley of poetry"...
