Italy has so many ornate churches. This one is particularly beautiful with its vaulted ceiling and frescoes. However, not all Italian churches are ornate. The cathedral of Barga called, Il Duomo di San Cristoforo, is a simple church reflecting the humble lives of the Garfagnana farm workers. Our guests at Art Toscana Painting Holidays in Italy often go there to make sketches or just to visit. It stands on a spectacular viewing point which offers a 360° visual tour of Barga and its surrounding villages between the Apuan Alps and the Apennines. Our guests at Art Toscana Painting Vacations in Italy often comments on how breathtakingly beautiful it is.
