Province of Lucca

Lucca, a city with imposing walls and a reserved charm, is the heart of a province rich in refined and diverse artisanal traditions. From the Lucchese hills to the mountains of Garfagnana and the Versilia coast, local craftsmanship represents a perfect blend of elegance, functionality, and territorial identity.
Among the most renowned expressions stands out textile working, the legacy of a long silk tradition. For centuries, Lucca was a center of fine silk production and today hosts workshops and ateliers that create furnishing fabrics, scarves, and garments inspired by classical motifs but with a contemporary taste.
A true Lucchese excellence is the manufacture of pipe organs. Highly specialized artisans continue to build and restore historic organs, keeping alive a tradition that has made Lucca famous throughout Europe. It is a meticulous craft, between art and engineering, requiring passion, precision, and musical knowledge.
In the mountain areas of Garfagnana, craftsmanship becomes more rustic but no less fascinating. There are productions of carved wood, blacksmiths working wrought iron, and skilled basket weavers who weave wicker and chestnut to create objects of the rural tradition.
The Versilia coast, on the other hand, is the homeland of a more artistic craftsmanship: here we find workshops of sculpture and marble, especially near Pietrasanta, welcoming artists from all over the world. Marble and bronze working is a jewel in the crown of the territory, able to unite aesthetics and technical mastery.
Lucca’s craftsmanship is a true map of the cultural and geographical diversity of the province. Each area, each workshop, each creation tells a story made of skilled hands, living traditions, and a love for beauty.
