Lucca

Lucca is the birthplace of composers Giacomo Puccini , Nicalao Dorati, Francesco Geminiani, Gioseffo Guami, Luigi Boccherini, and Alfredo Catalani.
Lucca was founded by the Etruscans (there are traces of a pre-existing Ligurian settlement) and became a Roman colony in 180 BC. Photography in the churches was restricted so there a few clandestines but apart from that they are street pics.
