A Morning in Lucca


Lucca is one of our favored destinations in northern Tuscany. Its intact wall has kept shoddy industrial construction out of the medieval center, and you can walk and bike on it. This video shows the things you can do on a sunny morning: Climbing an ancient tower to get the layout of medieval Lucca, then getting a special coffee drink from the evocative cafe, then having lunch at a great restaurant serving traditional food. If you want to follow this itinerary, there's even a map of it available on our site.

Another interesting time to visit Lucca is at the time of the Luminaria di Santa Croce di Lucca (Video), held on September 13th, when the entire city is lit by candelight at night.

Sony video camera used for italian travel videos

The Video Equipment

The video camera used on these Italian travel videos is a Sony HDR-TG1 Hi-Def Handicam that slips into a pocket and has decent 5 channel audio. See my Sony Handycam HDR-TG1 Camcorder Review on Europe Travel.

I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 for editing, as it natively edits the AVCHD video format. The recently released Adobe Premiere Elements 7 does AVCHD as well, but was released too late for me to try on this trip. The Adobe software should be easier to use.
