Lucca.
What a wonderful place. Lucca is one of the best places I have ever visited. This fortress-city founded by the Etruscans, enclosed by Renaissance era walls - whose wide tops look out over the town’s many towers, piazzas and gelato shops - is a great holiday destination. A quick flight from Liverpool to Pisa and my family OTW and I found ourselves in a place that hasn't changed must over the past 500 years. Lovely architecture - with some bits of Roman wall still visible - great history, good food, wine and the aforementioned gelato...what is there not to love about this place? The people are friendly too. As a whole, the Lucchesi seem to be a mellow bunch who take time to stop and smell the roses...and colour coordinate their laundry. Now, that's my type of people.

Si può dire che di tutta Italia.
We shall return.
NHW & Tomasso: Yes, Lucca and all of Italy are pretty easy on the eye.
Thud: I depend upon it :)
