SAN MARTINO'S CATHEDRAL, THE LABYRINTH
	Sculpted upon a stone of the colonnade of San Martino's Cathedral, the labyrinth has always aroused tourists' and citizens' curiosity and interest. The inscription located beside the labyrinth: HIC QUEM CRETICUS EDIT DEDALUS EST - LABERINT - HUS DE Q(U)O NULLU - S VADER - E QUIVIT - QUI FUIT - INTUS - NI THESE US - GRAT - IS ADRIAN - E STAMIN - E IUTUS whose translation "this is the labyrinth that Dedalus the Cretan made, from which nobody fallen in it has gone out excepted Teseo helped by Ariadne's thread" evidently indicates the overlapping between Greek-classical mythology and medielval mythology. Ariadne's thread stand for the divine presence, that can lead the sinner out of the sin. Moreover, during medieval period, the labyrinth represented the devious route towards God that the soul had to carry out. Located in San martino Cathedral, upon the pilaster that supports the bell tower, the labyrinth represents especially the centrality of Lucca, symbolically considered a fundamental stopover for pilgrims bound for Rome. According to some historical sources, it seems that condemned persons were carried in front of the labyrinth: who, at the first time, was able to unravel the puzzle, saved himself.
