Lucca, Yet Again

I love this small city, the birthplace and home of Puccini. Having visited once already at the end of the afternoon, I really wanted to experience it in the early morning light without tourists. I arrived late in the evening and found a full moon hanging over the city.

La mattina dopo sono arrivato, mi sono alzato alle cingue e mezzo per fare le fotos! Translation: the morning after I arrived, I got up at 5:30 a.m. to photograph the city. What follows shows the city awakening to the day. It is worth noting that Piazza Anfiteatro was built on the foundations of a Roman amphitheatre--thus its unique configuration!
