Summary
Lucca
For a story about the Calvinist network in Reformation Europe to take its beginning in Lucca in Tuscany around the middle of the sixteenth century would strike most people interested in the history of early modern Calvinism as distinctly odd. Even if this was a time when the Reformed religion was still very much in its infancy, or formative phase, in geographical terms neither Italy in general nor Lucca in particular proved to be beacons of early modern Calvinism.
