The ‘Palio della Balestra’ (crossbow competition) at Bagni di Lucca’s Villa Buonvisi della Vicaria della Val di Lima yesterday. It was a pleasant way to spend yet another sunny Sunday afternoon here. Participants included two girls: brilliant prize-winning shot Nicole looking like Maid Marian in a green gown and a Chinese girl from Pistoia involved in publicising the network of underground mediaeval tunnels in that city.
