LUCCA, TUSCANY, ITALY
Lucca is a medieval walled city in Tuscany that is 45 miles from Florence, 13 miles east of Pisa and 208 miles north of Rome. The wall surrounding the old city dates from Renaissance time and you can walk the entire 2 1/2 miles on top of the wall. The town was founded by the Etruscans and became a Roman colony in 180 BC.
