Basilica of San Frediano, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy, Europe
Fridianus (Frediano) was an Irish bishop of Lucca in the first half of the 6th century. He had a church built on this spot, dedicated to St. Vincent, a martyr from Zaragoza, Spain. When Fridianus was buried in this church, the church was renamed Ss. Frediano and Vincenzo. Soon afterwards, a community of Augustinian canons was growing around this church. In the Longobard era, the church and the canon house were enlarged. In 1104, this order was recognized by Pope Paschal II. The prior of St. Frediano was later accorded a rank equal in dignity to that of a bishop. The church acquired its present appearance of a typical Roman basilica during the period 1112-1147. In the 13th-14th centuries the striking façade was decorated with a huge golden 13th century mosaic representing The Ascension of Christ the Saviour with the apostles below. Berlinghiero Berlinghieri designed it in a Byzantine/medieval style. Several chapels of the nobility were added in the 14th-16th centuries. These are lavishly decorated with paintings. The architecture of the Basilica of San Frediano well represents the characteristics of Romanesque Lucca before the influences of the nearby Pisa, in particular of the Cathedral of Buscheto, and workers from northern Italy change its traditional character. The church still has a simple type of early Christian basilica plan, with curtain walls smooth, without projections or complex joints of the arches, and architectural elements are all of Roman tradition, such as architraves and columns of the facade and the apse, the windows niche, the specially carved composite capitals. These same features are found - in a stadium even purer - in the nearby church of St. Alexander, which includes the remains of an older building in which every element, from the paths proportional to the quality of the walls, the arrangement of unusual materials to bare corinzieggianti capitals, is all ancient Roman traditions. Inside, the basilica is built in richly carved white marble. It consists of a nave and two aisles with arches supported by columns with Roman and Romanesque capitals. The Roman capitals were recycled from the nearby Roman amphitheatre. The highlight at the entrance is the huge 12th-century Romanesque baptismal font (the Fonte Lustrale). It is composed of a bowl, covered with a tempietto, resting on pillars, inside a circular basin. It is the craftmanship of master Roberto (his signature is on the basin) and two unknown masters. The basin is decorated with The Story of Moses by a Lombard sculptor. Master Roberto did the last two panels The Good Shepherd and the Six Prophets. The tempietto was sculpted by a Tuscan master, representing the months of the year and the apostles. Behind this font, higher on the wall, are two 15th century glazed terracotta lunettes : The Annunciation and St. Bartholomew, both attributed to the school of Andrea della Robbia. There is another baptismal font, still in use, carved and adapted from a sacramental altar by Matteo Civitali in 1489.
The counterfaçade houses the 16th century organ in the exquisitely carved, gold-plated choir from the 17th century.
On the right hand is the side chapel of St. Zita (1218-1278), a popular saint in Lucca. Her intact mummified body, lying on a bed of brocade, is on display in a glass shrine. On the walls of the chapel are several canvasses from the 16th and 17th centuries depicting episodes from her life. The remains of St. Frediano lie underneath the main altar from the 16th century. A massive stone monolith stands left of the main altar. This was probably pilfered from the amphiteatre of Lucca. But local tradition has it that it was miraculously transported to Lucca by San Frediano and used as a predella (step of an altar) for the first altar. The Trenta chapel in the left aisle houses the polyptych of the Virgin and the Child, a 15th-century masterpiece by Jacopo della Quercia, carved with the help of his assistant Giovanni da Imola. Below the altar is a Roman sarcophagus with the body of St Richard the Pilgrim, an English “king” (of Wessex), who died in Lucca in 722 while on pilgrimage to Rome. He was the supposed father of Saints Willibald, Winiblad and Walpurga. On the marble floor lies a tombstone of Lorenzo Trenta and his wife, equally from the hand of Jacopo della Quercia. Among the many chapels, the Chapel of the Cross certainly stands out. It contains frescoes, recently restored, by Amico Aspertini (1508-1509). The blue vault shows us God surrounded by angels, prophets and sibyls. Above the altar is an anonymous 17th-century painting representing Volto Santo, St. Augustine and St. Ubaldo. On the right wall is the fresco of St. Frediano displacing the course of the river Serchio, while trying to stop the flooding. Next to it is a column which is, at closer sight, actually flat. The sgraffiti are drawn in the art technique of trompe l’oeil, giving a false perspective and the illusion of a column.
***** LUCCA (Toscana) Basilica di SAN FREDIANO - Interni ed esterni
La facciata (XII secolo) è in pietra levigata ed è verticalmente pentapartita, a livello della navata centrale, delle due navate laterali e delle due fasce di cappelle laterali. I tre portali sono delimitati da pilastri, sormontati da un architrave (di cui solo quello centrale decorato con motivi vegetali) ed archetti ciechi. A livello centrale troviamo una loggetta con colonnine sormontate da capitelli di vario tipo che racchidono due monofore.
Al di sopra troviamo il mosaico (secoli XIII-XIV). con l'Ascensione di Cristo tra angeli alla presenza degli Apostoli, in origine posti ai lati della Madonna la cui immagine è andata distrutta per l'apertura della monofora centrale. La parte superiore mostra il segno di un artefice colto e aggiornato su recenti esperienze bizantine, da collocare in ambiente romano, mentre la zona inferiore sembra dovuta ad un artefice locale della bottega dei pittori Berlinghieri.
Oltre alle tre sopraccitate monofore centrali si trovano quattro oculi in posizione più laterale.

Lucca is one of the cities most loved all of Tuscany, a stop that can not really miss in a classic itinerary to the discovery of the region.
***************
It is famous for its intact Renaissance-era city walls
Beginning in Roman times, continuing through the Middle Ages, on to the Napoleonic era and finally to the Risorgimento, Lucca's monuments, churches, palaces and roads, even its very shape have a story to tell. Each layer blending with preceding ages marking the growth and changes of the city.
Guinigi Tower (Torre Guinigi)
The Torre Guinigi rises above via Sant'Andrea, crowned by holm oaks to symbolise rebirth. It was added by the family in the late 1300s, with the aim of giving a refined look one of the houses, in a period when numerous bell-towers were going up within the walls of Lucca, as were the towers, an emblem of prestige of the richest families.
The Tower was built in brick; its imposing bulk was lightened by mullioned three-light and four-light windows and decorated by coats of arms, cornices and plaques. Since then it has been one of the symbols of the town.
Today the Tower is owned by the Lucca town council and is a place not to be missed in the town: going up it is a must, and its top is one of the most fascinating points to stand in the shade of the holm oaks, admiring Lucca's little architectural jewels from above.
Piazza dell'Anfiteatro
The amphitheatre, built as the centre of entertainment outside the Roman town, is today the centre of town life and the very symbol of Lucca.
It is a unique elliptical-shaped plaza, theatre of the life of the citizens of Lucca, closed in an embrace of medieval houses and, in spite of the passing of the millennia, is always alive and witness to innumerable changes.
When its was created, for spectacles and gladiator games, the amphitheatre of Lucca was an imposing structure, with fifty-four arches and a cavea able to hold as many as ten thousand spectators.
Its construction began in the 1st century AD under the Emperor Claudius and was concluded in the Flavian period, generously financed by a rich citizen, as seen from an honorary inscription discovered during excavations in the 1800s.
Church of San Giusto
Church of San Michele in Foro
They were decorated with the use of multi-coloured marbles, which begin to suggest the Gothic and are obviously influenced by the Lombard style.
Finally, at the highest point, the large statue of the Archangel St Michael killing the Dragon was added, with metal wings, and two angels with the function of typically Gothic spires so that the church, already soaring in isolation, stretches even more upwards.
During the 13th and 14th centuries the roof was rebuilt and the bell-tower, incorporated into the right-hand transept, remained thus until the early 1800s.

La città di San Frediano. Lucca fra VI e VII secolo: un itinerario archeologico.mp4
Le testimonianze archeologiche permettono oggi di recuperare almeno qualche immagine di Lucca negli anni del vescovo Frygianus, il San Frediano della tradizione. Stratificazioni urbane e contesti tombali, nell'intrecciarsi degli 'spazi dei vivi' e degli 'spazi dei morti' che connota la città a partire dai decenni di passaggio fra VI eVII secolo, vengono suggerite sullo sfondo dei paesaggi architettonici e umani proposti dall'iconografia contemporanea.

Imagine a beautiful little Tuscan town protected by massively thick 16th-century walls, featuring some of Italy's finest medieval and Renaissance architecture, superb dining, antique markets, classical and rock music festivals, easy access to stunning nearby villas in the surrounding hills and with endless beaches less than half an hour away. Lucca is one of Tuscany's best-kept secrets.
A wealthy and colorful town that draws a more discerning tourist than Florence or Pisa, it is sufficiently off the beaten track to have kept its civility and reserve. Lucca is a city of merchants who know how to woo the visitor and the shopper, but the pace of life varies between slow and slower.
Lucca has one particularly stunning feature - ancient ramparts that ring the old city. The inhabitants built these brick walls in the 16th century for defense. Today, walk (or bike) around the city on the wide shaded walkways atop the walls. If that doesn't tire you out, climb up the Torre Guinigi - the 130 ft. tower has an ancient oak tree on top!
Worth seeing are the churches San Michele in Foro and San Frediano, the cathedral San Martino, the shopping street via Fillungo, Palazzo and Torre Guinigi (14th c.), the latter is one of the few still existing, plant with stone oaks, clan towers (at the heyday of Lucca in the city there were, inclusive church towers, about 170 towers) and the Piazza Anfiteatro. On the ruins of the Roman amphitheater, churches and houses were built, which now form a beautiful oval square.
Lucca is situated 19 m. above sea level on an alluvial plateau, to the left of the Serchio river, not far from the Tyrrhenian coast. An important road junction in Roman times, Lucca was the capital of the Lombard Duchy of Tuscia and subsequently (8th century) the seat of the Carolingian Marquisate of Tuscany. Established as a free municipality (early 12th century), the town grew in political and economical importance, though it was often troubled by internal disputes and rivalry with Pisa. In the first half of the 14th century, it was under various Signorie and in 1369 it became a Republic remaining independent, except during the Guinigi Signorie (1400-1430) and the Napoleonic period, until 1847 when it was included in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, from then on sharing its fortunes.
The town lies within a circle of 16th century walls which, in the 19th century, were transformed into a tree-lined avenue; it has therefore maintained its characteristic medieval structure.

Lucca è una delle principali città d'arte d'Italia, celebre anche al di fuori dei confini nazionali soprattutto per la sua intatta cinta muraria intatta descrive un perimetro di 4.450 m circa intorno al nucleo storico della città; la stessa cerchia, trasformata già a partire dalla seconda metà dell'Ottocento in piacevole passeggiata pedonale, risulta a tutt'oggi come una delle meglio conservate in Europa. Le mura di Lucca furono costruite fra la metà del 1500 e la metà del 1600 allo scopo di sostituire la cinta muraria del 1200 che con l'avvento delle nuove armi da fuoco risultava del tutto inadeguata, così nel 1544 iniziò la costruzione delle nuove mura che in alcuni tratti incorporarono quelle medievali, ma per l'ottanta per cento tracciarono un percorso del tutto nuovo. Lungo il perimetro delle mura sono disposti undici baluardi: Baluardo San Salvatore, Baluardo San Pietro, Baluardo San Martino, Baluardo San Frediano, Baluardo Santa Croce, Baluardo San Donato, Baluardo San Paolino, Baluardo Santa Maria, Baluardo San Colombano, Baluardo San Regolo, Baluardo la Libertà , disposti irregolarmente e di forma diversa. In prossimità di ciascun baluardo, sul lato interno delle mura, erano ubicate le Casermette, dov'era alloggiato il corpo di guardia. Le porte sono sei: Porta Elisa, Porta San Jacopo, Porta Sant' Anna, Porta San Donato, Porta Santa Maria, al di sopra della quale è collocato lo stemma della città e tra i due animali araldici vi è la statua della Madonna, che da il nome alla porta, ed infine Porta San Pietro, che è la porta più antica di Lucca, progettata dall'architetto militare Alessandro Resta nel 1565. Costruita nel punto dove sorgeva la porta principale dell'antica cerchia medievale ne incorporò molti elementi decorativi.In origine la cinta delle mura aveva solo tre porte, per rendere meno vulnerabil il sistema difensivo. Tra il 1811 e il 1931 furono aperte le altre tre porte sul lato nord e ovest. La Porta San Pietro era l'unica dalla quale potevano entrare in città gli stranieri, dopo aver consegnato le armi al posto di guardia. Alla sera tutte le porte venivano chiuse e nessuno poteva entrare o uscire, nel 1711per la prima volta la Porta San Donato venne lasciata aperta anche di notte, con una guarnigione che ne controllava il passaggio.
