Lucca, 2 November 2021 - Yesterday ended "... a riveder le stelle: light”, the four-day event that marked the return of Lucca Comics & Games and, above all, its audience. A community that has welcomed this edition with unprecedented enthusiasm, reaching the sold out after a week from the opening of the online ticket offices with 90,000 tickets sold.
The 55th anniversary edition brought back in the city 300 exhibitors in 15 exhibition areas, (re)discovering places that had historically hosted the Festival, gaining some of the most evocative historical buildings and bringing back to the centre of the stage all those universes that make up its heart and soul: comics, board games, self-productions, fiction and fantasy, video games and eSports, editorial products for children and young people, cinema and TV series, with the novelty of an area dedicated exclusively to the cosplay world.
"I take this opportunity at the end of an undoubtedly complex edition of the festival - emphasises Francesca Fazzi, president of Lucca Crea – in regards to a challenge that we won and significant results, also in cultural terms, that we have measured over the last few days, to express a big thank you."
Martinelli Luce, sponsor of the event for many years - Level Up section - has illuminated the locations of Palazzo Tucci, the Museo del Fumetto in San Romano, Palazzo Arnolfini and Villa Bottini with a selection of lamps that best match the mood of the event. From an aerial installation of the Pioppo Luminoso created with the Pistillo lamps, to the iconic Pipistrello and Cobra, up to the more modern Elica (winner of the Compasso d'Oro in 2011 and proposed in a bright yellow version), Biconica Pol, Calabrone da terra and Colibrì da terra. Finally, Martinelli Luce’s Showroom in Via S. Lucia 9 in Lucca, remained open to the public during the days of the event and hosted some photo sessions with the best cosplayers.
