IT05 Am Baile as Albannaich san Eadailt
San latha an-diugh, tha Barga aithnichte mar am baile as Albannaich san Eadailt, le mu dhà thrian na h-àireimh-sluaigh le buill teaghlaich a’ fuireach ann an Alba. Tha sliochd cuid den fheadhainn a shiubhail a dh’Alba air tilleadh a dh’fhosgladh taighean-bìdh, taighean-seinnse agus bùithtean reòiteagan. Tha cuid eile de dh’Albannaich nach eil Eadailteach air an dachaigh a dhèanamh ann am Barga. Tha Barga a’ tarraing mòran luchdtadhail Albannach, glè thric air am brosnachadh le cothrom an cruth-tìre àlainn Thuscanach a pheantadh, no a ghabhail pàirt ann an diofar fhèisean ciùil, anns an fhèis bhliadhnail èisg is sliseagan no Seachdain Albannach a’ bhaile. Is iad Albannaich-Eadailtich ainmeil, an seinneadair Paolo Nutini agus an cluicheadair ball-coise Seonaidh Moscardini.
