Here is where i did grew up and spend most time of my childhood. My grandparents live here and i simply love to be there. I did visit it recently and would like to show you. Lucca is most famous for its gigantic city walls and impressive inner city.

The walls:

I can advice anyone who visits italy to pay Lucca a visit. Its a wonderful and beautiful city and not so overrun like fireze and pisa. There is also a little bit of rivalarity between Lucca and Pisa ;P

i noted tje rivalry against pisa when i eas in fireze. one of our italian freind simply considered it as a waste of time to visit pisa. and after visiting i kinda agreed to that. i even dont like firenze that much. its more lke dhaka than florence.
a must see in italy will always be venezia.

Italians have superb aesthetic sense,a tradition inherited from the romans and the renaissance.:tup:
