Antica Locanda di Sesto

Sesto, meaning “sixth”, is borrowed from Sesto di Moriano, the hometown of Aurelio’s Antica Locanda (di Sesto). The word “sesto” describes the distance of 6 Roman miles from the Sesto di Moriano to the northeastern-most medieval gate of Lucca proper. Sesto is also reminiscent of a sixth sense for enjoyment which is the secret to Italian living and the core of the Traveling Native vision.
