Land of the
Graziani: Maps
Emilito's September
2003 Trip
Before Italy's
unification in the 1860s, Lucca was it's own political entity.
Now, however, it is a part of Tuscany. Tuscany's geographical
position within Italy, and Lucca's position within Tuscany, are shown
on maps A and B. Maps C and D gradually show more detail within
Lucca, and finally, the fifth map, E, shows, in detail (1:50,000), the
land of Emilito's Italian ancestors.
