The Duchy of Tuscia (Italian: Ducato di Tuscia), initially known as the Duchy of Lucca (Italian: Ducato di Lucca), was a Lombard duchy in Central Italy, which included much of today's Tuscany. After the occupation of the territories belonging to the Byzantines, the Lombards founded this flourishing duchy which, among other centres, also included Florence. The capital of the duchy was Lucca, which was located along the Via Francigena, being also the city where the duke resided.[1]
