Lucca in the ChronicleGiovanni Sercambi

This copy of a drawing from Sercambi’s chronicle (c. 1400), depicts Lucca encircled by high towers and fortified walls, highlighting its medieval might and civic pride. The green tree atop one tower may reference the iconic Torre Guinigi. The inscription marks the reign of Emperor Charles IV, placing the scene in a politically charged era.
