Civilization and life developed around the waterways...… Water is a resource and at the same time a not-to-be-ignored element of naturality, but also a way to communicate and transport goods and people.

The Bishop of Lucca went to Pisa through the waterway: from the harbour on Padule in Lucca they reached the lake of Bientina, and then arrived in Arno – in no less than 8 hours! Now that way has been drained and reclaimed, but the lake of Massaciuccoli can give us an idea of what would that ancient floodplains have been in the past. Even the coast, with its coast woods, the dunes and the mouths of the rivers can be a perfect place for those who like doing bird-watching or sea-watching – and wonders will never cease!
