Why visit
Pescia's name comes from the Lombardic word for river, and the town was destroyed by Lucca in the 13th century and quickly rebuilt, with Florence and Lucca contending for it for the whole Middle Ages.
Origins and history
Archaeological excavations suggest the Lombards built the first settlement on the river banks, and the name comes from the Lombardic pehhia, «river». Lucca occupied and destroyed Pescia in the 13th century, but the town was quickly rebuilt; through the Middle Ages Florence and Lucca contended for it.
