Lucca
Walled Italian city
Lucca is a city in Tuscany, northern Italy, known for its intact Renaissance walls and medieval architecture.
The historic center remains largely car-free within its famous ramparts: We walked the walls of Lucca at sunset.
The city is also associated with olive oil production and was the birthplace of composer Giacomo Puccini.
Lucca appears as a given name, usually masculine.
