THE BRUNICARD'S AND OTHERS LIKE THEM FROM LUCCA WERE ARTISANS. THEY MOVED TO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES TO SELL THERE WARES. I RECENTLY JOINED THE CLUB LUCCHESI DEL MONDO WHICH IS A CLUB OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE RELATIVES THAT ARE FROM LUCCA. APPARENTLY THERE ARE BRANCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD. MY ANCESTERS SETTLED IN BALTIMORE, MD. I RECENTLY TRAVELED TO LUCCA AND MET MANY COUSINS. TRY YOU LOOKING FOR A CLUB IN YOUR CITY AND JOIN YOU WILL BE HAPPY THAT DID.
