We went down to Lucca on Wednesday for a spree. (Despite their absence from my photos, the town was very busy - it being market day ...)
 |
| The church of San Michele was built on top of the roman forum, and used to be the duomo of Lucca |
 |
| Green Lucca 1- electric van, bikes - and a Pizzeria no doubt run on wood! |
 |
| Green Lucca 2 - An ironmonger sells the ubiquitous savage-looking implement - the Pennato - which is used by woodsmen for trimming branches. The window displays models typical of the Garfagnana, as well as Rimini, Lucca, Tuscany, Monterotondo, and the Maremma. Also shown are tools for the harvesting of truffles, mushrooms and asparagus |
 |
| Palace for sale! Its use as a local government office now discontinued, it is being sold by Sotheby's Tuscan office ... |
 |
| The beasties in the moist grass around the city walls had attracted a flock of some twenty egrets |
Didnt know that each town knows a different model of PENNATO !
ReplyDeleteWell - I can't believe the Garfagnana one is so different!
