Scattered across the Lucca plain rather than centred on a single core, Capannori is a municipality of roughly 41,116 inhabitants made up of dozens of hamlets - Marlia, Lammari, Lunata, Camigliano, Segromigno among them - none large enough to claim dominance over the others. The commune stretches east and north of the walled city of Lucca in Tuscany, occupying flat agricultural land between the Serchio river and the first slopes of the Pizzorne hills. Capannori gained international recognition in the 2000s as one of Italy's first municipalities to adopt a zero-waste strategy, reaching separate collection rates above 80 percent and hosting a research centre for waste reduction that has drawn delegations from across Europe.
Paper recycling and cardboard manufacturing form the backbone of local industry, concentrated in industrial zones along the Via Pesciatina corridor. Villa Reale di Marlia, a seventeenth-century estate once owned by Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi, opens its gardens to visitors between March and November. The annual olive oil festival in November draws producers from across the Lucchesia, and the local DOP oils rank among Tuscany's more prized varieties.
