Until a few centuries ago in the plain of Lucca, wetlands were considered dangerous, today these areas are recognized as indispensable for the preservation of biodiversity, hosting an infinite variety of animal and plant species, abundant resources of water, food and contribute to the storage of carbon.

The history of the plain around Lucca has a strong relation to the water element. The very name of Lucca recalls its past as a Ligurian town and the presence of water spots, "luk", all around the small hill on which the town was founded.

The Romans colonized the countryside. Consistent remains of a Roman construction from the 2nd century BC and a settlement of about 100 Roman farms were found in the town of Fossanera, south of Porcari, where now a large open-air archaeological park is located.
