Amazing!! We just got back from our Italian trip, and Lucca was one of our favourite towns (the Cinque Terre ranked second). We did an E-Bike wine tour, rented a Vespa and travelled to Monte Carlo, and did a run on the wall (mind blown) every morning. The weather was amazing in early October, the food incredible (we have lists of our favourites). We loved the Amphitheater at night with its live music. We had the best Gelato at Le Crema Matta. My husband loved the fact that it was the only towns to evade the take over of the Roman Empire. Our hearts are in Italy - it’s amazing!! Enjoy every minute. Your fellow South Africans:)

I was in Lucca more than one time and is soooooooo beautiful, like all Tuscany, obviously. Enjoy the Lucca vibes guys!! In front of the ticket office for Puccini's house there's a cute ceramic store, really cute.
So fun that you guys are in Lucca! We will be there this upcoming May! We are planning to climb the Guinigi Tower. Always love your vlogs…so much fun! ❤
Hi guys, nice to see you back in action, we have been to Lucca twice and feels like a place to live, on other note, in Argentina, my native country, better say in Buenos Aires we also have Cecina but we call it Fainá, (maybe from the word farina?) and put a slice of it on top of the muzzarella pizza, it makes for a great combination and we usually drink beer with it or moscato, a big glass of moscato.
I assume that in part 2 you will be showing the amazing walk along the walls of Lucca?? It’s the BEST “city” walk ever!! I live in Viareggio, so going for a walk in Lucca is one of my favourite things to do🤗 Such a jewel of a city. Whenever my family visit from the States, it’s the first place l take them👍 This travelling thru Italy vlog is a great idea!! Where is your home?🤔BTW l sent the Viareggio video to all my family and friends🙏😀🙏
If this is your first experience with these two, I HIGHLY recommend following their playlist for their month(s) in Sicily. My sister and I literally followed in their culinary footsteps everywhere they went!
This was fantastic, I've missed the two of you and all the Information Mattao always gives, you guys are so cute together ❤️ Hot cross buns are only available in Canada at Easter, not sure why. That pizza looked absolutely delicious, thanks guys so fun. Can't wait till the next one 😊❤❤❤❤
Looking forward to watching this one guys , my nephew has just returned from Lucca , his friend lives there, regards Fred from bonnie Scotland 🇮🇹✌️🏴
This is the first of your videos for me splashed down by TH-cam. Absolutely delightful. Very well done. Loved ringing the doorbell to get into a museum. But the whole composition of your work is outstanding. Thank you. Now following from HONOLULU Hawaii🇺🇸🇺🇸😎🏄🏼♂️🍍🏖️🌈🌸
There’s actually 5 climbable towers in Lucca. Those you mentioned (around 33:40 in the video), plus San Frediano’s campanelle. My wife and I recently climbed all 5 in one day (we live here).
Thanks ... use the public fountains instead of more plastic bottles though. The water is fantastic and most cities still have them. I am going back to Lucca next week and wondered what I had missed the first time. Oh an siesta - Spanish. I am not sure what they call that long lunch break, perhaps pisolino. Your memories of where you have been are amazing.
Yes, hot cross buns are in Australia too being the sister country to England. They start selling them in supermarkets the the day after Christmas day even though they're not official until Easter!
Hey guys, been watching your content for a bit now. I like it all. I suggest looking at your camera settings and change to PAL from NTSC. This will adjust frequency which stops the annoying light flickers from led bulbs. Europe use PAL. Americas use NTSC.
Oh yeah, we do hot cross buns here in Australia...I visited Lucca this year and climbed the Guinigi Tower and the Torre delle Ore. I wish I'd had more time but I was only there for the day. It's definitely a city I'd love to spend more time exploring.
That’s awesome! 🥰 We climbed those 2 towers the following day & loved the views at the top! 😍 Lucca really is such a charming city, hopefully you’ll get the chance to visit it again! 🇮🇹❤️ We just spent 3 weeks there, using it as our base and doing day trips to the surrounding cities & we were still sad to be leaving it, even after the good amount of time we spent there! 😅
The chickpea slice, in Argentina we call it fainá, and we eat it together with the slice of pizza. We also have a faina with cheese, onions, etc. filling 🤤
If you're ever back in Lucca, Palazzo Pfanner is a lovely place and the Torre Guinigi is a unique bell tower which is fun to go up. Trattoria da Nonna Clara is also a good place for food!
It was very nice the woman at the pizzeria, she wanted you to taste the hot pizza and offered it (rightly). Maybe it was a good day or maybe it's just their way of working, for sure if all shop owners did this (in Italy and not only), everything would be better.
Hey guys, are there any hotels in the center of Lucca, that has elevators? We’re considering visiting Lucca this year, and it would be nice to know if there are some places that are handicap friendly. 😊🌼🌼🌼
Everything looks so good!! Thankful for your Florence recommendations! I’m going to Lucca in a few weeks and was wondering anyone has any other awesome suggestions? Also if anyone has any recommendations for other spots pls lmk!! (Also going to be in Florence/ Livorno/viareggio/ Lucca/ Venice/ Rome/ Messina / Malta /mykonos/ Santorini/athens)
Sono di Lucca e per quanto possiamo trovare dolci simili in altre parti d'Italia il BUCCELLATO è solo ed esclusivamente di Lucca. Se lo hai apprezzato cosi senza nient'altro lo apprezzerai di più con una semplice ricetta molto gustosa: ZUPPA LUCCHESE DOLCE Prendi un BUCCELLATO , taglialo a pezzetti e mettilo in un contenitore ampio bagnare con del vino rosso ( NO bianco) , zucchero , aggiungere crema pasticcera ( anche al cioccolato) e fragole a pezzettini . Mescolare bene e mettere al fresco in frigo ( NO nel Freezer) ...dopo un paio d'ore almeno servi in coppe e gusta 🍧
Thank god you guys have never made it to Pietrasanta, the jewel of Versilia. As they say when the tourists move in the Artists move out. Please stick to the regular Tuscan Italy vlogs, Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano.. you know the drill..

They are originally an Easter bun, that’s why the “cross”😊

I've just started watching this episode & I already want to come back to Italy. Was in Italy just a few weeks ago. I love watching your adventures xx
I’m flying to Luca next week, and have been watching your videos as a way to familiarize myself with the place.

You couldn't see it in me if it wasn't in you. Keep Shining! 💗

Ahh thanks John! 🤗 That’s awesome that you’ve climbed all 5 😍 Also, are you the same John that saved us at the bus stop in Lucca on Monday?! 🥰
@@TheGlobalExpats Yes, that was me at the bus stop. It was nice to meet you! Did you make your connections alright?
Bentornati ragazzi! Yes, hot cross buns are VERY popular in Australia/NZ around Easter time.
Great choice of back ground music.
Gosh guys, you made me want to be there, and eat that merengue gelato! 😂
Thanks ... use the public fountains instead of more plastic bottles though. The water is fantastic and most cities still have them. I am going back to Lucca next week and wondered what I had missed the first time. Oh an siesta - Spanish. I am not sure what they call that long lunch break, perhaps pisolino.

Hot cross buns also popular in Ireland. Your right it's an Easter thing 😊
And I say it again .... love your room with a view of the stunning oval piazza. And thanks for going into Puccini's home - I missed that.

Gorgeous city. TFS

went to Florence last june and followed all your recommendations. Thanks
That’s awesome, we hope you had an amazing time! 😍🇮🇹
@@TheGlobalExpats Definitely! Florence became my favorite place in Italy.
Heading to Lucca in May! Thanks for this. Need to find this apartment you rented!! Do you recommend it?
It was very nice the woman at the pizzeria, she wanted you to taste the hot pizza and offered it (rightly).

Great videos, look forward to your Christmas stuff
If you were blown away by Puccini's name, look up Picasso's full name.

Se lo hai apprezzato cosi senza nient'altro lo apprezzerai di più con una semplice ricetta molto gustosa:

@17:44 is that a big hole on the step backboard? lol
It looks like it! 😅
Micha, having a little trouble with the name Giacomo? You kept saying Giachimo
Pisa is too better than Lucca!Pisa definitely is the best city in Tuscany by far!I love Tuscany!
Yes Australia for hot cross buns!!! 😂
So have you been in Italy for a year?
Surprise to hear Thai language in the background at 32:45
15:44 im pretty sure it's giac"o"mo not giac"I"mo... :)
Hahah it is! I was focusing so hard on remembering all his names my pronunciation slipped 😂
Please put br portuguese legends for my wife 😂😂😂
Hi ti is Ryan I mes you
Hi Ryan!! 🥰 We miss you too! ❤️

Thank god you guys have never made it to Pietrasanta, the jewel of Versilia. As they say when the tourists move in the Artists move out. Please stick to the regular Tuscan Italy vlogs, Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano.. you know the drill..
Cappuccino after 11....shame on you 😂😂
