First stop on the Italian travelogue - Lucca!!

Italian City Travelogue - Lucca!! The small town of Lucca, near Pisa, is called by locals the most beautiful and ancient place in Italy. In the 5th century, Lucca was the most important military fortress, rich because of the silk trade, and reached its peak. In 1805, Lucca was conquered by Napoleon and later incorporated into Italy. The great composer Puccini Giacomo was born and raised here. As one of Italy's greatest opera composers, his masterpieces include 'La Bohème', 'Madame Butterfly', and 'Turandot'. The most important building in the city is the thousand-year-old San Michele in Foro church.
