This visit to the elegant and refined Lucca, a magnificent city of art, begins with a delightful walk along the famous 16th century walls that enclose the old centre of the city under the shadow of all trees. There are also visits to the mediaeval Church of San Frediano, with its large mosaic in a 13th century facade; the stupefying Piazza Anfiteatro, modelled on the ruins of the 2nd century Roman Amphitheatre; the Torre Guinigi, the Cathedral of San Martino, the characteristic antiquarian road, and the Church of San Michele In Foro. |
| The guided visit
ends in the historic centre with the house where the
musician and composer Giacomo Puccini was born. The house
contains objects that once belonged to the great man, suh as the piano
with which "Turandot" was composed. After some free time for
lunch (not included), there is a visit to the splendid Villas
in the area immediately surrounding the city. These villas were the
summer residences of Lucca's most important noble families and
distinguished foreign guests: Villa Torrigiani, with its rich
apartments and wonderful grounds, and the splendid gardens
of Villa Mansi, built by the well-known architect F. Juvarra. |
