Lucca: Piazza dell'Anfiteatro 2 - a photo on Flickriver

"Lucca is a city in Tuscany, northern central Italy, situated on the river Serchio in a fertile plain near (but not on) the Ligurian Sea. It is the capital city of the Province of Lucca. Among other reasons, it is famous for its intact Renaissance-era city walls (although the city has expanded beyond the wall's boundaries).
Lucca was founded by the Etruscans (there are traces of a pre-existing Ligurian settlement) and became a Roman colony in 180 BC. The rectangular grid of its historical center preserves the Roman street plan, and the Piazza San Michele occupies the site of the ancient forum. Traces of the amphitheatre can still be seen in the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro."

The amphitheatre Piazza was built on top of an ancient Roman amphitheatre. It preserves the oval shape of the ancient infrastructure.
The famous classical composer, Puccini, was born here.
