Lucca Changes
From 29 October to 1 November, the festival we all know will become Lucca Changes this year, a new event, created from the essential need for change.
In any case, it will be a program full of events to be easily attended online at home thanks to the collaboration with RAI television in streaming.
All cities hide mysteries and Lucca is certainly no exception!
While waiting for the urban trekking event at the end of the month, let's discover together some thrilling places with Antonella Marcucci, a tourist guide of Lucca.

on the facades of many churches there are some strange, more or less deep signs ... they say that it was the Devil to make them!
The Wall of Lucca is one of the most popular places for locals and visitors at any hour of the day and night and in every season.
A walk before lunch on Sunday morning, a refreshing run in the evening after work, a romantic date under the magnolias, an aperitif at sunset, there is always a good reason to be there. In autumn, a great attraction is the sumptuous foliage that, from bulwark to bulwark, curtain to curtain, wraps the walls and the city in a warm embrace.
Workshops and educational activities in museums, archaeological parks and places of culture in the weekend and, on Saturday 26 September, late night opening with admission ticket at the symbolic cost of 1 euro. An extraordinary visit to celebrate the European heritage days 2020, the biggest and most popular cultural event in Europe.
Lucca cannot miss the appointment with initiatives in museums and open air to celebrate this day.
The month of September is particularly dear to the people of Lucca for the celebration of the feast of the Holy Face, the Holy Cross that has protected the city for centuries and that also this year will be the protagonist of the feast of September 14, even if in reduced form.
The current situation has in fact led to the cancellation of the traditional moments of celebration, moments of sharing and meeting, but there will be many appointments for September Lucchese, from religious festivals to fairs, markets, shows and Luna Park.
