Among valuable properties and comics: Lucca Comics and Games 2019
Lucca Comics and Games 2019
The forerunner of Lucca Comics & Games was born in 1966 as a niche festival; at the beginning little understood by the Lucchesi who hosted the demonstration on the streets of the historical center, on it leaned out of valuable dwellings.
It was a revolutionary manifestation: the comics analyzed as literary texts, like cinematographic works. In 1968 the sixty years of the Corriere dei Piccoli were celebrated, while the following year the first Hugo Pratt exhibition was organized. And so slowly Lucca became the city of the omici, as they used to say in the city.
In 1995 it becomes Lucca Comics & Games. And here comes the manga, cosplayers, the film industry and video games. And Lucca becomes pop and an event for everyone.
The Gran Guinigi are the prizes awarded by Lucca Comics & Games to the best comics published over the last year and are organized with the aim of rewarding the best comic works published each year in Italy and their authors, regardless of nationality. The Gran Guinigi debuted in 1967 as part of the International Comics Show, as a special prize awarded by the City of Lucca alongside the Yellow Kid. The name is inspired by the tree-lined Guinigi Tower, icon and symbol of Lucca. When the Salone left the city the Gran Guinigi remained, and, after some experimentation, they became the official prizes of the newly formed Lucca Comics, then Lucca Comics & Games.
Approximately 251,000 ticket presences in 2018, to which are added hundreds of thousands extraticketing, peacefully colored and enriched, in the name of absolute respect, the precious historic city center.
