AUTHOR’S NOTE
130 Words
AUTHOR’S NOTEI visited Lucca in March 1990 when I was staying in Florence.
I was thrilled by its charm and its extraordinary and perfect four miles of Medieval ramparts built between 1500 and 1645.
The Cathedral is just as I have described it in this novel and I actually prayed in the Chapel of St. Francis of Assisi, which is also part of my story.
The beauty surrounding Lucca has been put into words by a great many famous poets.
It is a dazzling part of Italy, which anyone who visits it will find hard to forget.
And it is not surprising that Napoleon made his sister the Princess of Lucca.
Also many of the famous Roman leaders and those of the Renaissance were all closely associated with the City.
