Lucca is a hidden gem, and a personal favorite for many travelers in the know. This enchanting town is steeped in a surprisingly rich history: It was once under the rule of Napoleon's sister, Elisa Baciocchi, and it is also the birthplace of the illustrious composer Giacomo Puccini (La Boheme,. Madame Butterfly, and more).
