The days are getting longer, but winter is not over yet.
In the meantime, waiting for the beautiful days in spring, enjoy some virtual tours of Lucca through space and time.
Lucca is a city home to great music with a long tradition and history where important personalities like Luigi Boccherini came out.
On 19 February 1743 Luigi Boccherini was born in Lucca and on this Friday 19 February, on the Rai Cultura channel and at 9.00 pm on the YouTube channel Associazione Musicale Lucchese, the Quartetto Guadagnini and Simone Soldati are in concert to celebrate Luigi Boccherini's birthday.

The city museums are travel opportunities at your fingertips at any time of the year and offer ideas for real, more important trips, to be, hopefully, organized again as soon as possible.
Some time ago we suggested a visit to small museums to avoid the cold weather and discover unexpected things.
A day dedicated to music to celebrate Maestro Giacomo Puccini's birthday.
In Lucca, home of music, there is a museum, where the Maestro was born and where he lived and his birthday
will soon be celebrated. A small apartment in the historic center of Lucca that nobody would have expected
to become the setting for the life of a great artist.

Christmas is approaching and, with all necessary precautions in this period, the nativity scene tour is organised.
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.
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.
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.
