Around Town, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy

Often, it is possible to have a quiet walk around the wall. 

Sometimes though, the quiet is replaced by the happy voices of young people.

Ah, to be a teenager again.

Bikes are common in town as primary transportation or, on the wall for entertainment or exercise.

 If this car looks really small, that's because it is - narrow medieval-era lanes establish definitive limits.

This statue of renowned composer Giacomo Puccini, born in Lucca in 1858, stands proudly in a piazza near a museum in his memory.........

........while down the street a quartet of cellos plays classical music to an appreciative crowd of passersby.

Even young "trouble" enjoys the music.
