Nature, art and memory for the 21st National Day of Urban Trekking, the annual event to discover together, at a slow pace, the most hidden corners, the most unexpected curiosities, and what the artistic and natural beauties of the many Italian cities adhering to the initiative have yet to reveal.

Double appointment in Lucca, Sunday 27 October at 11:00 a.m. or at 3:00 p.m. with an itinerary above and below the Walls of Lucca, up to the Botanical Garden, exploring the history, nature and sustainability of the city. 

An all-Italian festival focusing on well-being, quality of life and fun.

Plant and gardening lovers, we look forward to seeing you in Lucca from 6 to 8 September for the 23rd edition of Murabilia, the unique market exhibition and one of the most important in Italy, which brings together the best exhibitors and experts from the world of international gardening in the green spaces of the Walls of Lucca.

Up - A Look to the Sky

Supermoon in August, but the spectacle everyone is waiting for is on the night of St. Lawrence when the Perseids perform the well-known astronomical event of “shooting stars,” but they will not be the only ones.

Weather forecasts are hopeful this year with a small crescent moon and many swarms brightening the summer sky. The peak will be Aug. 12 with the Tears of St. Lawrence, which astronomers predict will be a must-see show of the beloved Perseids. We await them with lots of music.

A figure suspended on a cloud controls a crowded and seemingly incomprehensible scene.
From the parade ground of the San Donato bastion of the Walls of Lucca, militia are firing cannon shots under the supervision of the Captain of the bombardiers.
A little farther on the captain's aide and beside the cannon two drummers and three bombardiers, a flag-bearer and a broken lance.
On the bridge that gives access to the Porta San Donato people are entering and leaving the city festively.

This is how Lucca Comics & Games always begins, with the poster presentation, and as it always manages to impress.
There are three LC&G posters this year: one for each stage of approach to the festival, one for each act of Madame Butterfly in homage to Giacomo Puccini, whose death centenary falls this year, and all three dedicated to a great principle of chaos theory to which, for the transmediality typical of the festival, it immediately refers.

Two thousand years of history studded with extraordinary events that have carved the name of Lucca into the Time Line.

As a unique format in Italy, Lucca Historiae Fest tells this story of Lucca on nine bastions of the City Walls where as many historical reconstructions will be set up to retrace the various eras that have characterised the city: 

From June 21 to 23 new spaces and new events with the involvement of a greater number of associations and re-enactors.
