Pisa and Lucca

independent since the Unification of Italy in 1861. We can walk on the walls for a little while

looking at the town from above. Elegant town with a long history of Merchants leading the

town economy for centuries, specialised in silk, cotton an

leather since the 12th hundred. It is one of the symbol that characterises the town with

elegance still today with the many tailoring shops.

Town of music, with one of the most important music conservatory schools and quite a few

composers, including Giacomo Puccini.

After our visit in Lucca, we'll see an interesting historic seafarer town where we still see the

Past glories; Pisa has been a naval base for the Etruscans, the Romans and in the ninth

century the Pisan fleet embarked on its triumphant series of victories at the sea over the

Moorish pirates and became one of the four Italian republic towns at the Mediterranean

sea. As a result of the travels to the Arab Countries, the influence with the byzantine and

Arab culture made this beautiful square called Pisan-Romanicdue to the Orient style; We’ll

visit Piazza dei Miracoli, with the XII hundred Baptistry, the Cathedral and the Leaning

Tower.We continue then to Piazza Dei Cavalieri, the old government Palace from the twelve

hundred, now a very important Dept. of the University of Pisa, where Leonardo Fibonacci

organised groups to study Mathematics in the eleven hundred. You'll enjoy a stroll in the

city centre in this lovely town away from the tourist tracks, among old buildings home

of Galileo Galilei.
