Lucca, San Gimignano & Siena:
Lucca is a delightful city comprising a grid of Roman roads contained within its mighty medieval ramparts. It is home to Puccini, Chamber music, Romanesque churches, museums and monuments. Lucca's flat landscape and narrow winding lanes create the perfect conditions for commuting by bicycle, as many locals do.
The Piazza del Mercato supports what survives of the ancient Roman amphitheater. Medieval houses frame the square and low archways provide the gateways through which the Roman gladiators would have emerged. Some of the city's essential sights include the Duomo, San Michele, San Frediano, Museo Nazionale Guinigi and Torre Guinigi. Casa di Puccini makes an interesting visit for opera lovers, as this 15th century house is a shrine to one of Italy's greatest composers.
San Gimignano is one of the most imposing and best preserved medieval towns of Italy. The thirteen towers that dominate San Gimignano's majestic skyline were built by noble families in the 12th and 13th century, when the town's position, on the main pilgrim route from northern Europe to Rome, brought in great prosperity. The plague of 1348, and the diversion of the pilgrims route, led to its decline. The decline ironically helped to preserve the town's intact medieval aspect until today.
Siena. The red-brown stone of this medieval city throngs around Italy's finest main town square, the Piazza del Campo. As old as the square itself are the traditions reverberating off its pavements twice yearly during the Palio delle Contrade. It is Italy's most colourful festival with rehearsals, processions and pageantry leading up to the climactic bare-back horse race around the Piazza.
