He was then met on the Fosso by the Mayor of Barga and escorted up to his recently restored residence just below the Duomo.
There followed a mass at the Duomo presided over by S.E Mons. Alessandro Piotti, the then Archbishop of Pisa.
This afternoon six years to the day that Don Stefano first arrived in his residence just below the Duomo, he sat down and spent 45 minutes to describe his feelings when he first arrived in the city, how his work has been progressing over those years with L’Unità Pastorale di Barga and his hopes for the future.
He was joined towards the end of the recording by Don Federico Franchi (article here) who added his point of view to the discusion remaking that for him a priest working inside the community could be best be described in sports terms as a trainer inside the team.
