Another view of the San Michele in Foro basilica in Lucca.

Statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi in front of the Teatro Comunale del Giglio in Lucca.

The Duomo di San Martino, or Lucca Cathedral, showing the façade and bell tower.

The Torre delle ore (clock tower) in Lucca.

A water fountain in Lucca. Our guide told us that those who drink from the fountain will return to Lucca someday. I did take a drink from the fountain, but got sick later, so do this at your own risk.

Back in Florence. It was common to see these "Smart Cars" around Florence and the surrounding area. They're very small—just two seats, and about the size of a golf cart.

Downtown Florence, as seen from the top of the Palazzo dei Congressi. Several of us were here for a reception with the president of the World Esperanto Association.

A piano concert at the Esperanto congress.

View from a bridge on the Arno River in Florence.

One day a few of us went on a guided walking tour of the hills around Florence, organized by the Esperanto congress. Our tour guide spoke both Italian and Esperanto, and explained to us what we were seeing. Here's a tower at what I believe was a private residence of some kind.
