In her death record it's written that she was living in Pietrasanta.
But I've found, in my family, that sometimes after the death of a husband, the widow moved town, often to live with one son or the other, or other relatives, so be aware of that.
I've found this about an Agapito Barsi from Stazzema:
Comunicato Museo Ugo Guidi 28.8.2011
Mons. Bernard Barsi torna a Stazzema
Stazzema- L’Arcivescovo di Montecarlo (Principato di Monaco), Bernard Barsi tornerà di nuovo a Stazzema. Domenica, 11 settembre, celebrerà alle undici la solenne Messa nella Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta di Stazzema.
La comunità di Stazzema lo attende per festeggiarlo. Nei prossimi giorni daremo maggiori dettagli sulla visita dell’arcivescovo che ha in cura la Diocesi di Montecarlo.
Il 22 settembre 2007 il Consiglio comunale di Stazzema conferì a S.E. Mons. Barsi la Cittadinanza Benemerita. Mons. Barsi venne per la prima volta a Stazzema nel 2005 per conoscere la terra d’origine paterna.
Il suo bisnonno si chiamava Agapito, mentre il nonno, Agostino, valente artigiano di arte funeraria, lasciò il paese nel 1870 per trasferirsi in Francia.

Archbishop Bernard Barsi back to Stazzema
Stazzema- Archbishop of Montecarlo (Principality of Monaco), Bernard Barsi will return again to Stazzema.
Sunday, September 11, he will celebrate a solemn Mass at eleven in the Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta of Stazzema.
The community of Stazzema awaits to celebrate him.
In the coming days we will give more details on the visit of the archbishop who is treating the Diocese of Montecarlo.
On 22 September 2007, the City Council of Stazzema gave SE Mons. Barsi the Meritorious Citizenship.
Mons. Barsi was for the first time in Stazzema in 2005 to know the homeland of his father.
His great-grandfather's name was Agapito, while his grandfather, Agostino, a talented craftsman of funerary art, left the country in 1870 and moved to France.
I wonder if he was a plaster figure maker like his cousin and uncles?
Yes, Agostino built tombs, tombstones and sculptures probably made of plaster and especially marble.
Pietrasanta however is a center for the processing of marble and there is also a museum: http://www.museodeibozzetti.it/en/home/the-museum/about

Grazie!
Speriamo di trovare qualcosa in più...
Bernard Barsi nacque a Nizza, forse suo nonno Agostino si spostò lì (Bernard Barsi was born in Nice, maybe his grandfather Agostino moved there).
The “Immigration italienne” database was established from the despoilment of the dossiers of naturalization between 1880 and 1931, expulsion records until 1935 and Grasse census of population from 1891 to 1931.
In this database I've found only one person named Barsi (carpenter by profession): http://www.basesdocumentaires-cg06.fr/o ... /home.html
Hi Erica - the picture is very small and hard to read.
Is there any way of getting a larger image without it becoming pixelated?
The children of Lucrezia that I know of were:
Maria Caterina Barsi (born and died 1820);
Bartolomeo Barsi (1821-1886) - his birth record calls him Raffaello Adriano Barsi;
Caterina Barsi (b.1823);
Maria Teresa Franesca Barsi (1826-1831);
Maria Rosa Barsi (b.1829);
Agasito Barsi (b.1831);
Maria Teresa Petronella Barsi (b.1833).
As they moved out of Stazzema I have been unable to find what happened to the children (except Bartolomeo who died in Stazzema).
