Tuscany need rain as well

Lucca , Tuscany, Italy

was founded by the Etruscans (there are traces of a pre-existing Ligurian settlement) and became a Roman colony in 180 BC.

The rectangular grid of its historical centre preserves the Roman street plan, and the Piazza San Michele occupies the site of the ancient forum. Traces of the amphitheatre can still be seen in the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro.

Lucca was the site of a conference in 56 BC which reaffirmed the superiority of the Roman First Triumvirate.
