The day is Ferragosto (midsummer day) and the plateau is the Altopiano delle Pizzorne. A great summer classic trip in the Piana di Lucca, a popular destination for tourists and locals on hot Sundays in July and August and, for the most affectionate, an unmissable appointment on the high day of summer.

In the history of Lucca, that of water is a story in reverse. While other cities were born on the banks of rivers, the people of Lucca kept well away from them.

The foundation of the city, in Roman times, was challenging in the middle of a plain where water was the master, with streams and marshes. The name of the town itself derives from the Ligurian word Luk, meaning a place where light is reflected.
