Strolling through woods and fields, walking along paths in the middle of nature, you can reach small treasures of minor Romanesque art, scattered on the hills of Lucca and Mount Pisano, a place where mystics and hermits have since ever found shelter in an estonishing landscape offering in this period generous blooms and breathtaking sunsets.
