Pistoia always had a bad reputation; Dante mentioned Pistoia as the home town of Vanni Fucci, who is encountered in Inferno tangled up in a knot of snakes while cursing God, and Michelangelo called the Pistoiese the "enemies of heaven". Italy > Tuscany A short distance from Florence lays the Tuscan town of Siena. This town is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, plentiful museums, sweet delicacies and its yearly celebration of one of the world’s most historical sporting events - the Palio. Italy > Tuscany > Lucca Lucca (population 90,000) is a city in Tuscany, northern central Italy, near (but not on) the Ligurian Sea. It is one of the most conservative and richest cities in Northern Italy. Lucca was founded by the Etruscans and became a Roman colony in 180 BC. The rectangular grid of its historical center preserves the Roman street plan, and the Piazza S. Michele occupies the site of the ancient forum. | |
