The magnolias are blooming in Lucca. Corso Garibaldi for a couple of weeks each year is lined in pink and white. I have written this quote from a Lucca guide book before, but it is so good I am going to repeat it.
“If you will be there around the half of March you’ll fill the emotion of walking between the wings of magnolia trees, whose leafage full of flowers looks like a big rose-coloured fireworks even though….unnaturally static.”
Doesn’t it make you want to be there????
Come to Lucca in March.
Click here to see the magnolias from 2011, and here for 2010. You may be surprised to learn that they looked quite similar to this year.
