The Lucca Comics & Games festival kicks off today in Lucca, Italy, running for five days as they bring major names to Tuscany. We chat with the festival director ahead of the launch. LuccaCG Interview
\n This will be the event's second year back in-person since the pandemic, as they have returned to having a full event within the city walls. Turing the streets, shops, churches, and more into a giant festival that takes over the city for everyone to enjoy. Prior to the event kicking off this morning, we chatted with the festival director Emanuele Vietina about what they have planned this year.
For example, when we pictured Dungeons & Dragons in 2019, when Joe Manganiello came, our pitch was, 'you have dungeon and dragon in Seattle; we have a true dungeon!' So the largest European tournament of Dungeons & Dragons has been held in a true dungeon within our city walls. And this is unique you can only do it in Lucca.
