In the early twentieth century the road surrounding the city walls of Lucca is practically finished and the ring is completed with avenues that run from the city towards Viareggio, Pisa, Pescia and the Garfagnana.
On the ring of walls and on these four main highways they builds from the late nineteenth century until the First World War with a program of housing development that affects mainly the rich bourgeoisie of Lucca. They're consists of rich traders, food industry, bankers and money changers, they drew their fortunes directly or indirectly by emigration, especially to the United States, very consistent in Lucca since the 80 century.
The type of architecture chosen for these residences is that of the suburban villa and the palace that differ from Lucca countryside villas for permanent residences
The architectural language chosen is Modernism, which follows the style of nineteenth-century architecture with neoclassical scores rather than the new Liberty line.
Where this is applied, mainly in floral patterns and is usually in the main facade with paintings and ceramics, with balustrades and iron gates in typical depictions zoo phytomorphic and coup de fouet. To have an overview of most of these buildings we can suggest a route that follows the walls along the ring road and then, from this, you radiate long detours to three areas that for the particular constructive ferment occurred in the early nineteen hundreds, retain a significant number of buildings worthy of interest: Santa Anna Avenue Catalani and Puccini, S. Concordia Avenue namesake, San Marco and Via Civitali.
But a fifth route should be recommended, and is the center, where the facades of historic buildings, you can see interesting Liberty style in the decoration of shops, which since the late nineteenth century saw a major renewal process linked to bourgeois society, which manifests itself with ever new and more refined palates.
