A Story to Savor: A Free Itinerary to Explore Lucca and Collodi

When people think of Tuscany, their minds often rush to the vineyards of Chianti or the hills outside Florence. But there’s a quieter rhythm waiting just beyond the postcards, a slower story tucked between the city walls of Lucca and the whimsical village of Collodi.

That’s why we created “A Story to Savor: Three Slow Days in the Province of Lucca”, a free downloadable itinerary built around music, memory, and myth. Designed as part of our Fare la Scarpa series, it’s an invitation to wander without rushing and to let place shape your pace.

This is a guide for anyone craving depth over checklists. Whether you’re staying in Lucca for a few nights or adding a thoughtful detour to a longer trip, this itinerary offers a gentle path through gardens, piazzas, and places that spark the imagination.

• Insider notes on food, regional culture, and local transport

• Recommendations for meaningful stops and scenic routes
