Lucca was once referred to as the “City of One Hundred Churches”. Today, the number has dwindled, yet the style, grace and beauty still impress. Opening to a relatively large piazza, the façade of San Frediano never fails to impress visitors with its glass, gold and precious stone inlaid mosaic. The Basilica was built during the 6thCentury and the current appearance of the church, very Romanesque in style, was completed in the 12th Century. Named for an Irish Bishop of Lucca (Fridianus), the interior of the church is striking in its austere simplicity. Ridolfo Luigi Boccherini (1743 – 1805) the Italian classical era composer and cellist whose music retained a courtly and galante style while he matured somewhat apart from the major European musical centers, was born in Lucca, Italy, into a musical family.
