The city of 100 churches can still count and towers (once they were 130), after more than 500 years of honored service, on the protection of over 4 km of walls, which surrounds the city in its strong embrace and stands proudly almost intact as one of the last examples of medieval fortifications left throughout Europe. It is nice to think that, symbolically, this wall continues to resist the incessant action of time because it is aware of the beauty that it just contains within itself: squares, basilicas, myriad churches, the Duomo, the museums, the old buildings.
Curiosity:
✱ in 650, the oldest mint in all of Europe, as well as one of the most long-lived, which coined more than two thousand different types of ancient coins, still exhibited today at the Museum of the Mint of Lucca
✱ Saint Zita is the patron saint of maids, housewives and bakers. She saved everything she could to give it to the poor, she was much appreciated and loved by them for her generosity.
According to legend, another housemaid companion, perhaps envious of the affection that Zita received from everyone, told their master that Zita stole what she gave to the poor. One day his master met Zita who was going to visit a needy family and had her apron full of things for them. He asked her what she was carrying and Zita replied that she was carrying flowers and fronds. When he opened his apron, so many flowers fell at his feet
✱ On full moon nights it seems that a fiery carriage with Lucida Mansi on board completes a round of walls to dive into the pond of the Botanical Garden. Legend has it that on those nights it is possible to hear the cries of pain from the young woman. Lucida was a Lucca noblewoman who lived in 1600, known for her love affairs and the tragic end she reserved for lovers. But it was her great vanity that made her a legend: she sold her soul to the devil who promised to preserve her beauty intact for 30 years. One evening, under the guise of a handsome young man, the devil seduced her by convincing her to get into his fiery carriage which, after having crossed the walls, entered the waters of the botanical garden pond to return to hell: it had returned to collect his credit.
✱ It is the birthplace of the great composer Giacomo Puccini, author of the immortal works such as: La bohème (1896), Tosca (1900), Madama Butterfly (1904) and Turandot (1926)
