Lucca is the small, walled city recommended as ” off the beaten path,” and where we began our search for our place to live for two weeks. Lucca is no longer off the beaten path but was a fun place to visit. Our 4 mile  walk around its wall  reminded us of New York’s Central Park. Lucca is about a  forty minute  drive  ( more hairpin curves) from our Camaiore home , which, happily,  has yet to be discovered by tourists.

Italians can be identified by their fine linen clothing.
