Lucca is a relatively quiet provincial town but during the second world war it was at the centre of several battles due to its strategic position. This city tour aims to retrace a year of struggle, highlighting the importance of civil resistance. Discover with us the key locations of world war II in Lucca.
These locations reconstruct the various aspects of Lucca's Resistance. The sites describe German violence and Allied bombing and the trail passes through the places of fascist power and partisan counter-power. The tour also reconstructs the birth and development of the Resistance, with reference to its political and military articulation, but also to the specific role of religion, women and intellectuals.
Particular attention is paid to the dynamics of the Liberation at the beginning of September.
Lucca is also a beautiful city with a rich artistic and cultural heritage, dating back to the Roman times. You will admire its intact Renaissance-era city walls, its Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, which was once a Roman amphitheatre, and its Guinigi Tower, a 45-metre-tall tower that dates from the 1300s.
This tour will give you a unique perspective on the history and beauty of Lucca and its surroundings.
