The Piazzette, the festa del centro storica 2011 moved into the fourth day and as we have started to get used to, the quality of the music just keeps getting better. Thirty five concerts over a period of the next ten days, featuring live musicians or all types, hues, colours and persuasions. The festa has this year made a huge jump in quality and quantity and thinking about it, is just one step away from becoming a full blown music festival in its own right. Maybe next year, a large concert with some big names on the Fosso and the transformation will be complete.
Quarta serata alla grande per la Festa del Centro Storico di Barga che sicuramente anche in questo appuntamento ha dimostrato di essere cresciuta in quantità e qualità di proposte.
Per 10 giorni la cittadella di Barga si riempirà di musica abbinata all’ottima cucina dei ristoratori del centro storico per un evento che gli anni passati ha riscosso successo e critiche positive.
L’evento è organizzato dall’associazione commercianti PER B.A.R.G.A. con il patrocinio del Comune di Barga. La cura e la direzione artistica degli eventi è stata invece affidata, anche per quest’anno al Barga Jazz Club.

-- Francesca De Martin ( Piazza Annunziata ) -- Silk is the best word I can think of to describe the voice of Francesca de Martin, the Garfagnana’s reincarnation of Ella Fitzgerald.
The clarity and caressing perfection of her notes turns every lyric of her repertoire, drawn principally from George Gerschwin’s and Cole Porter’s prewar New York, into a prayer. Maybe it was the effect of the balmy July night, but it seemed to me that Mary and her angel were smiling down from their perch above the Annunziata portal, enjoying themselves as much as the enthusiastic crowd in the piazza below.
