The AIDAperla has docked in Livorno. Passengers stream off the ship and take the buses to Florence or Pisa. I also disembark, get on a bus and let me drive to Lucca. A Lucca short visit in 2 hours, which in retrospect were much too short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Lucca is a city of almost 90,000 inhabitants in Ilalia. The city is located about 20 km from Pisa on the small river Serchio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 180 BC Lucca becomes a Roman colony, along with Pisa. Thus the land could be taken possession of for Rome and the Apuans living here had to submit. Over the years Lucca was a popular residence for dukes and market counts. A well-functioning textile industry was established here, which was known for colorful silk and brought the city a certain wealth and influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
