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.

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.
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.

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.
