MISSIONAs a cultural organization, we are involved in supporting and disseminating the Renaissance culture of Lucca and Tuscany. That means we promote what already happens in Lucca, but we also study and advocate ways of enhancing the culture of our home. And, of course, we pass our knowledge along, both here and in our courses.
