Lucca

City-State Trait: Get 2 free Great Merchants when a Commercial Hub is built in your Capital City.

City-State Type: Industrial

History:
The city derives its prosperity from the silk trade, which flourished from the 11th century and rivals the Byzantine silks. The city is then also the capital of Tuscany. After the death of Matilda of Tuscany, in 1161, the emperor Frederick Barbarossa grants to Lucca the status of commune. It becomes an independent republic for more than five centuries. Dante spends part of his life in exile. At the beginning of the 13th century, Lucca and Florence are the most important Tuscan Guelph communes. The Lucquois, although few remain Ghibellines, are deeply divided between white Guelfs supported by old aristocratic families and merchants and black Guelfs, representing the new emerging class of artisans and workers. In the first half of the sixteenth century, the Lucca merchants brought back from Luther’s books frequent trips abroad, provoking the indignation of the local ecclesiastical authorities. In the following years, the persecutions multiplied and the Republic created a Office of the Religion which was in charge of monitoring the religious behavior of the citizens. Lucca was one of the Italian cities where the population adhered most to the Reformation. Lucca owes its success to its banks and trade in fabrics. It manages to maintain its independence despite the wars that ravage regularly Italy. But after 1628, the Lucca democracy became an oligarchy. Lucca remains an independent republic until the conquest by the French in 1799. Napoleon I made it a principality for his sister Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi. In 1815, the principality turned into a duchy, attributed to Bourbon-Parma, then attached to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in 1847.
