You might know Lucca because of its perfect Renaissance-era walls that you can circumvent the top of via bike or foot. Or perhaps because of the annual summer music festival, which draws international headliners like J.Lo, Nile Rodgers, and Katy Perry.
Or maybe you know Lucca for another reason entirely: the city is the birthplace of composer Giacomo Puccini of La Bohème and Madama Butterfly, hosts Europe’s largest Comic Con and a fabulous monthly antique market, and has a famous villa designed by Napoleon’s wife and modeled after Versailles.
