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.
