Lucca Comics
“Lucca Comics and Games 2010″ is the most important Festival dedicated to comics and game in Europe. Its first edition was in 1966 and last year’s edition attracted more than 140,000 visitors. One of the coolest part of this festival is that partecipants take part at the festival in costume, so now imagine the magical surronding of the Lucca historical center invaded by superheros, comics celebrities and masks posing around the city! Amazing isn’t it?

Lucca Film Festival
The Lucca Film Festival takes quality, diversity and conviviality as its leading principles. Presenting only films that meet the highest aesthetic standards, it aims to offer at the same time a full panorama of all the different forms of cinematic writing that exist – a festival of all kinds of cinema, so to speak, where a wide rande of fiction, documentary, animation, experimental and underground prorammes allow both the fantastic and realist, the socio-political as well as the escapist voices in cinema come to be heard.
This year’s Festival is the 6th edition that will take place from the 4th until the 9th October 2010 at the San Girolamo Theater and the Central Cinema. The Festival will include seminars, meetings, debates with important national and international guests and expositions and some rare premiere projections.
