La Garbotta
Cultural association "Don Arcangelo Del Carlo"
“Gran Botta o Gran Rotta... (great bang or great route) is believed to be the name of the Route, halfway between Ponte S. Pietro and Sant’Anna and Sant’Angelo in Campo where, on November 2nd 1430, the Florentine enemies were defeated.”
The association is based in :
Via della Chiesa XVIII, 573 - S. Angelo in Campo, 55100 LUCCA (LU)

The scope of the Association, which was very dear to the founder, our belated parish priest, Don Arcangelo Del Carlo, is to aggregate the community to sustain and share musical and cultural events in all its forms.
