Itineraries
at Lucca and around
This quaint and evocative city retains the
charm of a small and ancient Italian City State. Over the
centuries it has managed to hold on to its independence and
freedom by adopting a cautious policy. Having miraculously
escaped the devastation of war, today it boasts one of the
most extraordinary Tuscan art heritage.
The imposing tree-lined Renaissance walls which totally enclose it, the maze
of medieval streets flanked by towers and smart boutiques, the enchanting Romanesque
churches and bright inviting squares captivate the visitor who stands in awe
of such unexpected beauty.
