Lucca:Walking through the streets you can see the via della Stufa
This beautiful if it were not fear real that in this area of the city of Lucca
stoves had been placed
Lucca:Walking through the streets of Lucca I think but will it be a legend?
The stoves were powered by a blazing fire and produced steam wheen heating
water for those who wanted to take a hot bath and relax
The problem came when this service caught on so much that so many
people went to both men and women and the location became a real one
brothel
Thus, the area was banned and the rooms where there were hot baths were closed
because it was considered filthy and scandalous that men and women lent themselves
to take baths hot completely naked.
