 Lucca
and this part of Tuscany is extremely particular
and much of its territory has a completely different
appearance to the classic Tuscan landscape.
In the Serchio valley and Garfagnana,
rather than the gentle peaceful hills of Renaissance
paintings, you can find majestic mountains
of marble and roch that loom over the valley
bottom along the river Serchio where roads wind
their way and unexpectedly open out into sunny
areas with small ancient villages, settled
on green hills, that reflect in lakes with magic
images.
Art and culture are of considerable
importance in the territory near Lucca.  The
capital of the province is actually a unique
example that has perfectly preserved its
city walls and it has maintained its characteristics
since roman times up today. |
