Castelvecchio di Barga, officially Castelvecchio Pascoli, is a village in Tuscany in central Italy. Administratively, it is a frazione of the comune of Barga, in the province of Lucca,[1] in the Serchio Valley, where poet Giovanni Pascoli bought the house "Cardosi-Carrara".
History[edit]
Giovanni Pascoli spent much of his time in Castelvecchio, dedicating himself to poetry and studies in classical literature. His former house, now in use as the Pascoli House-Museum ("Pascoli House-Museum"), has three desks where he worked in Latin, Greek and Italian. Here he seemed to have finally rebuilt the "nest" – his family's traditional residence;[2] the original in San Mauro was destroyed.[citation needed]
The Casa museo Pascoli is still visited today. Giovanni Pascoli and his sister Mariù are buried in the adjacent chapel.
Sports[edit]
The sports company "Il Ciocco" hosted, in 1991, the second edition of the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships.
