Holiday destination of the Tuscan nobility, Lucca welcomed from the Middle Ages to the 19th century the greatest families of the region, who made a fortune in trade, mainly in silk. To enjoy the coolness of the valley, the family dynasties of the time built houses where the beauty and opulence of the architecture and gardens were worthy of their wealth.

This book presents for the first time these wonderful summer residences. Richly illustrated, it examines the way of life of these families in their historical, artistic and cultural context.
