Strolling Around Lucca (Strolling Around Europe)

By Irene Reid

Lucca is a medieval walled city in Tuscany. Its huge wall runs around the old city and a wide grassy lawn separates old Lucca from the more modern city which surrounds it. Visitors come to Lucca to grab a bike and ride around the wall, but Lucca has a lot more to offer. It is the city of 100 churches, each with a story to tell. Visit those churches, climb its towers, and explore its labyrinth of narrow streets. This is a self-guided step-by-step walk around the old city of Lucca. It contains detailed maps of each section to make navigation as simple as possible. There are three walks, Lucca East, Lucca West, and of course the Wall. Excerpt from the book "The square has a nickname, Pupporona, which means Large Breasts. It earned that name when the lovely statue on the fountain was installed. The lady is a Naiad and she is wearing a robe rather loosely draped around her. When it was first unveiled conservative Lucca was outraged at the nudity. The bishop demanded its removal but it survived."
