IL MECENATE -- LUCCA, ITALY -- PART 1

LOCALLY SOURCED, DIVINELY PREPARED CUISINE

IN THE FINEST LUCCHESE TRADITION

By Heidi Johnson-Wright

Travel brings many pleasures, perhaps the best of those being a treasured experience one did not expect.

During a fortnight spent in Tuscany, we took a day trip to Lucca, a delightful little town just a short train ride from Florence.

 

Upon arrival, we took a cab into the old heart of the town, still encircled by a centuries’ old, amazingly well-preserved stone wall.

We met up with a guide, who took us on a walking tour of various cathedrals, piazzas and landmarks.

After several overcast days in Florence, we were entranced by the sunlight bathing everything in a golden glow.
