What do the spaces and monuments of a city tell us if we stop to look at them from different perspectives? Is it possible to look with new eyes at the buildings, squares, and gardens that we see everyday?
The PhD students of the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca will guide you to the discovery of more and lesser known places in Lucca: thanks to their curious glances you will get to know the many stories that intertwine along the streets of the city; you will meet famous figures from history, ordinary people and even... fantastic beings!
In this episode, you will plunge into a fascinating journey back in time, discovering how the San Francesco complex, now the main campus of the IMT School, has changed over the centuries in an example of the reuse and adaptation of a historical building.

Episode written and produced by Shaimaa Atef and Flaminia Ferlito
