Lucca

The reconstruction of the origins of Lucca is, still today, the subject of historical research.  Recent archaeological discoveries suggest  an Etruscan origin of the city.

However, it was the Romans who left the most evident traces of their passage with the foundation of the walled city and the orthogonal layout of the streets, the Forum, where today one of the most important and suggestive squares of the city opens, the Amphitheater, built in the second half of the first century AD outside the mighty city walls.

In the Middle Ages important communication routes passed through Lucca, first of all the Francigena road of the Pilgrims and the thirst merchants who pushed from the Mediterranean to the markets of northern Europe. The weavers and merchants of Lucca knew moments of great notoriety for the refinement of the fabrics traded and political weight in the courts of Europe.
