My guest today is Saraya Motley. Saraya spent her early years in Rome, before returning to the States to complete her higher education. Now an independent Luxury Travel Agent, she works remotely from the commune of Capannori, in the hills of Lucca, which she has made her permanent home. I was struck how passionate Saraya is to ensure that her clients have the ultimate travel experience, so she is the ideal person to make recommendations for you to experience in and around Lucca.

My guest this week is Kari Marchen Anderson. I met Kari during one of my trips to Lucca in 2021. As happens in Lucca, chance meetings are the start of great friendships. Kari is from Copenhagen and speaks both Danish and English, fluently, and she is married to Bill, an American. They recently became ‘empty nesters’, and rather than downsize and remain in Copenhagen, they decided to relocate to Lucca, and in the process gained their residency, which proved to be a relatively smooth transition. Kari’s story is really informative, so I was delighted when she agreed to be interviewed for the podcast.

My guest today is Andrea Paganelli, the name probably gives away that Andrea is a native Italian. Andrea and his family own their own private driving company, Tuscan Drivers. He has a fleet of vehicles that do tours, day trips and airport runs, and this is how I first met Andrea. He collected me at Pisa airport from my flight, late at night. I was on my own, and although I had previously visited Lucca, I had no idea where my apartment was. In that position, you need punctuality, reassurance and a friendly welcome and that is exactly what I got, in spades; needless to say, Andrea and his family have become firm friends of mine in Lucca. Not only does this episode explore the intricacies of driving and parking in Lucca, it also gives an insight into Italian family life. I interviewed Andrea back in July 2021 when the pandemic travel restrictions had been relaxed.

Andrea’s Recommendations

The Walls of Lucca - for relaxing, running, and family time

Explore the Villas of Lucca - inside and outside the Walls

Book a tour with Tuscan Drivers - see Connect with Andrea, below

Experience a winery or olive oil production and tasting

The Beach 

The Garfagnana

Explore the many Tunnels under the Walls of Lucca

The Dolomite mountains - cooler than the beach in the summer, and good for skiing in the winter

Favourite Italian word/phrase

Babbo - Dad (typical to Tuscany)

Least favourite Italian word

Marca da bollo - revenue stamp

My guest today is Sally Ramsey. Sally contacted me after listening to this podcast as she was planning to visit Lucca, and we arranged to meet up. I must say, that Lucca is the only place where I’ve experienced random strangers, with a love of the city, arranging to meet up and share experiences. Even though Sally is based in the USA, she and I have become really good friends. So, I was delighted when she agreed to be interviewed for this podcast when we were both in Lucca back in September 2021, as her experiences are so relevant to anyone who is hoping to visit, or increase the time they spend in Lucca, especially those of you travelling from afar. Significantly, you will hear how each time Sally visits Lucca, her friendship base grows and the length of her stay increases. Enjoy the show…

Sally’s Recommendations

Piazza San Michele, Piazza Napoleone, sit and people watch

Walk the walls

Enrol on one of the many courses, eg cookery classes

An evening at one of the many music events

Via Fillungo, the main shopping street

Anfiteatro, eating, drinking, shopping, people watching

Ristorante, Olio Su Tavola di Reaction, Via del Battistero, 38

Gelateria, Bottega del gelato, Via Santa Croce, 87

Pasticceria Dianda, Via Della Rosa, 9

My guests this week are Ilene and Gary Modica. In 2010 they left Phoenix, Arizona for a holiday in Italy, and this was not only the start of a love affair with Italy, but also the start of many amazing adventures. I interviewed Ilene and Gary in September 2021, and they revealed that they had travelled to 86 Italian towns and cities, before choosing Lucca as their ‘forever home’. They have documented their travels and adventures and are award winning bloggers, and co-authors of the books, Our Italian Journey, and When your Heart finds its Home. This is a really engaging, open and honest interview in which Ilene and Gary discuss the highs and lows of setting up home in a new country, along with their experience of seeking dual citizenship through Gary’s Italian ancestry. 

Ilene & Gary’s Recommendations

Osteria da Pasqualino Gubitosa, Via del Moro, 8

Pizzeria Mara Meo, Piazza San Francesco, 17

Vinarkia della Pavona, Via Fillungo, 188

Ciao and Welcome to Life in Lucca with Andrea!

Well, it feels really good to be saying that again.

I’m delighted that the Life in Lucca with Andrea podcast has burst through 2500 downloads, in fact it’s closing in on the magic 3000! I must say that I’ve been overwhelmed with your lovely comments and feedback. I’ve really enjoyed reading your emails, and meeting some of you here in Lucca. In fact, I was at the top of the Guinigi Tower last summer chatting away, and a lovely lady visiting from the States, recognised my voice from the podcast, and introduced herself to me, Laura, thank you, it was so lovely to meet you, you made my day!

Listener feedback has been really positive, and I have been taking note of your comments and queries. Many of you want practical advice, as you are looking to stay in Lucca for an extended period, some of you with a view to moving to Lucca on a permanent basis, some with families, some to retire. Others are visiting for a holiday but want to explore the ‘real’ Lucca and visit places off the tourist track, where they can live like a local and experience the authentic Lucca.

So, you’ll be delighted to know that I’ve interviewed some really special guests for Series 2, it’s an absolute joy listening back to the interviews during the editing process.

As you know, I self fund this podcast, and for Series 1, I paid a company to undertake the editing and distribution process. I can’t continue doing this so for Series 2 I’m undertaking the editing and distribution process myself. So, to accommodate this, I’ve recently changed podcast providers, I’ve moved from Podbean to Acast but that shouldn’t have any effect on the way that you receive the episodes. So, if you enjoy the podcast, you can help by donating the equivalent of a gelato or two, you can do this by going to the ko-fi website where you can link to my page which is ko-fi/lifeinlucca

So, following a longer than anticipated break, I’m excited to share with you that the first episode of Series 2 will be released… drum roll… week beginning the 23 January, so do listen out for it.

In the meantime, you can listen to, or re-visit Series 1 of Life in Lucca with Andrea, and whilst you’re there, why not hit the subscribe or follow button on your usual podcast app so that each new episode will appear, as if by magic, in your podcast library. And, if you’ve a little time to spare, please do leave a review. 

You can also follow me on Instagram at andreas_life_in_lucca and during the months that I’m in Lucca, I post photos of my adventures and the people I meet for you to enjoy.

Thanks so much for listening and your continued support. I hope to see you soon in Lucca, do e-mail me at [email protected] and we can perhaps meet up for a coffee chat or a walk on the walls. 

A presto!

In this episode, I meet the Texan born, Vanessa Peters, for the very first time! Discover how, on a study abroad programme in Tuscany back in 2000, Vanessa stumbled by chance, on the then unremarkable City of Lucca, in a guide book, it grabbed her curiosity, and she felt drawn to visit.

Vanessa is a musician, very fitting then that she found, and then chose Lucca, which is renowned for its culture of music, as her base. In fact, the video for her single Crazymaker, taken from the album Modern Age, which came out in February, was filmed in Lucca in December 2020.
