Ripartiamo da Lucca, uscendo dalla città da Porta Sant’Anna.

Along country roads, we cross a foothill area, full of small settlements, villas and churches.

We then go up the slopes of Monte Pisano on ancient pavements that lead to ancient hermitages, towers and fortifications.

Infine  discendiamo in pianura dalla Rocca di Ripafratta e proseguiamo costeggiando canali e campi coltivati.

Ormai vediamo avvicinarsi sempre più la Torre di Pisa, metà di oggi.

Ma le sorprese non sono finite! …. San Jacopo, dove un tempo sorgeva l’Ospitale per pellegrini di San Jacopo “de Podio” …. il Santuario della Madonna dell’Acqua, dove i regnanti di Savoia assistevano alle messe festive durante il loro soggiorno nella vicina Tenuta Reale di San Rossore …. Piazza dei Miracoli

…. Walk with us!
