A view from St Swithin

Villa Castelvechi

There’s an interesting museum in Barga all about houses. It’s well known that many Italians emigrated in the late 19th and early 20th Century. Those that prospered came home and built large, beautifully furnished and decorated houses. Some came back to stay, others used them as holiday houses. The house in the blip is now a hotel but in the museum you can find out about each hotel and the history of the family that built it. 
Later in the day the Chiefs class had a show of their work on completion of their course - with the obligatory glass or two of Prosecco (see Extras)
