LUCCA: The Place. The gourmet food shop, Delicatezze on the cobbled street Via San Giorgio in the walled city of Lucca is a epicurean heaven. It’s the perfect place to stock up on local produce of the highest quality to bring back home as gifts.
The Food. A huge selection of the olive oils produced locally. Olive oil has become a symbol of Tuscany and is also known as liquid gold.
