Idea summer 2020: Villa Basilica. La Rocca swords and paper

Launch of a Summer Idea 2020 at Villa basilica with La Rocca the swords annd paper recommended for those who want to come and visit us in Lucca at B&B Villa Sunrise

Villa Basilica is located about 40 min far away from us

I recommend it because it belongs to us as an Italian historical background or looking for refreshement in summer by visiting the village where history tells of places where swords were produced

and today exhibited in the major Museum of the wolrd like New York paris Madrid Leningrado

The Rocca which was used to defend the road direction Pizzorna today you can see few remains

Finally the paper because this area was rich in water where iron was originally tempered to make swords of this industry over time

The Mills moved by the water shredded the rags to make paper. Stefano Franchi invented paper-straw that is a mixture of water and straw mortar
