Lucca Gustosa 24
The rediscovery of our most important culinary traditions, but also a precious dialogue with other cultures and countries. A stage for a food and wine culture that enhances the flavours and delicacies from our territory and... international surroundings.
The tasty menu of Lucca Gustosa will involve many places in the city: Piazza Napoleone and Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, Palazzo Pretorio and Mercato del Carmine, for a weekend dedicated to taste and surprises.
All of the city's trade associations will be protagonists, with special initiatives aimed at fostering the delicacies and oldest culinary traditions from our territory.
