EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the magnificent town walls of Lucca, located in the picturesque region of Tuscany, Italy. What makes these walls truly remarkable is their unusual preservation despite the city's expansion over time. Unlike many other cities that had to demolish their defensive structures to accommodate growth, Lucca's town walls have remained intact and serve as a unique feature of this enchanting place. The vibrant red brick color of the walls beautifully contrasts with the lush greenery surrounding them. As you gaze at this image, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time, imagining what life was like within these fortified boundaries. Today, these ancient fortifications have taken on a new purpose – they form a delightful promenade encircling Lucca's old town. Locals and visitors alike stroll along this elevated pathway, enjoying panoramic views of both the cityscape and the tranquil countryside beyond. Peter Thompson skillfully captured not only the architectural beauty but also nature's presence within this walled city. A solitary tree gracefully stands against one section of the wall, adding a touch of serenity to an already captivating scene. This photograph serves as a testament to Lucca's rich history and its commitment to preserving its heritage for generations to come. It invites us all to explore and appreciate not just its physical beauty but also its cultural significance as we immerse ourselves in this charming Italian gem.
