Bartolomeo Di Monaco
 |
| With his last book, the prolific author Bartolomeo Di Monaco leads us through an unusual journey in the lands of Lucca: inspired by a dreamy Lucca and captured by the beauty of it's surroundings, like the Garfagnana , the Plain and the Ancient Valleys, he proposes a collection of legends that are often tainted by his imagination. The author, fascinated by the roads, the monuments and the palaces of the city, wants to transmit his emotions that derive from Lucca. The volume makes us rediscover the legends that through the centuries, that have been handed down from father to son, are now part of the cultural heritage of the city. In this way we learn of the Ponte della Madonna, better know as the "Devil's Bridge"; or the events of the historic characters that lived In Lucca, amongst which Lucida Mansi, Santa Zita and Ilaria del Carretto, three women, between history and legend, protagonists of particular events that are still remembered by the people as a symbol of the city. |
