Family day at the museum

Everybody at the Museum!

The F@Mu, project, his year at its sixth edition, it has now become the cultural event dedicated to Families with the largest and most important children in Italy. The Museums are organizing to make their proposals "family friendly" to invict the family to spend the weekend, together with the Museum.

Small but precious! is the theme of 2018: jewels, miniatures, coins are the small but precious objects that can be known in the museums of Lucca.

 

the Holy Cross "Luminara"

The highlight of the September festivities in Lucca is the Luminara della Santa Croce, a very popular and heart-felt occasion for the city.

Every year on September 13th, with the traditional candlelight procession, the city pays homage to the Volto Santo, the wooden crucifix that according to the legend has come from the Holy Land and thanks to a medieval monk was brought to Lucca on a wooden cart pulled by oxen.

The new sketches of Viareggio Carnival

The summer is not yet over and Viareggio's tank drivers are already busy with their work to prepare another fantastic edition of the Carnival. In advance the papier-mâché magicians submit their projects to a commission of experts, which, if approved, will come to life in floats and masquerades on foot, giving rise to real traveling theaters accompanied by music, dancing and singing of costumed figures.  The raw material of the floats is papier-mâché, or rather cast paper, which makes it possible to create impressive but at the same time light works.

4 stars for the falling stars night

Night of San Lorenzo, this year the show will be extraordinary, the astronomers promise, with ... scrambles up to Ferragosto.
With the new moon and the clear sky this week the Perseiadi, ie the meteors associated with the night of August 10th, the Lacrime di San Lorenzo, are super-active and clearly visible.
To guarantee the best performance, they recommend waiting for the central hours of the night, when the constellation of Perseus is high in the sky and, in theory, one could even see a hundred meteors per hour.

Where to go, however, to guarantee the show?
