Società lucana - a company from Lucca - but what is the correct English translation for some pne/thing from Lucca?

Local time: 18:34
lucany
Explanation:
that's wrong: lucana means "from/of Lucania or Basilicata". Lucchese would be the adjective for someone from Lucca

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2003-05-20 13:45:30 (GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

So, a person/thing from Lucca is : Lucchese (written like in Italian)
