The chief place of the western Valdinievole, grown from two centres on either bank of the Pescia linked by a bridge: the market and the Palagio on the right bank, the pieve of Santa Maria on the left.
Behind it rise the ten walled hill villages of the Valleriana (Pietrabuona, Medicina, Fibbialla, Aramo, San Quirico, Castelvecchio, Stiappa, Pontito, Sorana, Vellano). Lucchese in 1200; Florence and Lucca will fight over it later.

Primary sources for Lucca
Chronicles, registers, sagas and inscriptions written in or near 1200 that cover this entry. Each has its own page with editions, translations and where to read it.
- Annals of Pisa, by Bernardo Maragone, with continuation, Bernardo Maragone (1160s to 1175, continued to 1192). Pisa's official annals stop in 1175 and their continuation in 1192, so there is no Pisan narrative for 1200 itself. Read online
