Rain, glorious rain promised but hardly delivered. Later a bit of thunder and cloudbursts.
Lucca
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucca
Ancient and medieval with a tortured as well as a cultural past.
Church san Michele in Foro, 11-12 century with many renovations over the ages.
Dinner: Tordellini lucchesi con ragu di chianina Al Chianti, a local variation on cesear salad, lots of oil, a fine minestrone.
The parts here has salt and eggs. While normal for us the local Tuscan population was historically poor, few eggs and little salt. Lucca was very rich due to trade. Eggs and salt.
Fagoili ucceletto
A potential customer for lazzari, the wood fired pizza oven at the restaurant.
