After the summer we start work and strengthening this recovery will create events to attract people and create new interests.


Lucca is closely linked to religious principles and sensitive to cultural situations where it becomes important to give space to such initiatives, integrate and tradition to create events that serve as a reminder for the people, who usually shows his taste, by participating in droves.

Since the end of August start the lights and "sounds" of Luna Park to recall, in the minds of Lucca, the sense of festivity and lightheartedness, an effect that lasts for the entire month tapping his main point with the Holidays of the Holy Cross with illuminations and fireworks (September 13).

This manifestation of a religious nature, becomes the main event, attended by many of the people of Lucca, as well as an endless line of tourists who, consciously or not, are massed along the characteristic streets of the old town to enjoy the city at night , lit only by torches and candles placed at the boundary of the facades of houses and churches, which accompany all the people who march in procession and offer a suggestion that deserves to be particularly experienced at least once.

At this event we must all be present, so that the Lucchesi nel Mondo, represented by many groups scattered all over the globe, send their delegations to participate in the procession to pay homage to the Holy Cross, the great wooden crucifix venerated in the Cathedral San Martino, otherwise known as the Holy Face.

The procession is organized by the city's main historical:
Piazza San Frediano
Via Fillungo
Via Roma
Piazza San Michele
Via Vittorio Veneto
Piazza Grande (Piazza Napoleone)
Piazza del Giglio
Via del Duomo
Piazza San Giovanni
Piazza San Martino.

It is so much active participation of Lucca, which when the head of the procession, with representatives of church and institutions enter into Cathedral (St. Martin), the tail has yet to leave the Church of San Frediano.

After the celebration of Mass the urban population accumulates on the walls waiting for the fireworks, which are expected every year for their spectacular.

Moreover September Lucca articulates with many initiatives, the fair is held at "Giannotti", ie in Borgo Giannotti every Sunday in addition to the dates of 14, 21 and September 29 in honor of St. Michael. The fair is intended as display of goods from peddlers that fitting out their booth.

It organizes the exhibition of livestock, which, as in the distant tradition, brings farmers and buyers to negotiate the sale and purchase of animals useful in the development of farming and today in addition to livestock dealers will also find space traders pets , but the population also shows his interest in the activities held at the Foro Boario (Monte San Quirico) in conjunction with the exhibition.

In addition to Cut is set up, Expo Fair September Lucchese (4-14 September), where artisans, traders and producers bring their products and offer the opportunity to take note of market opportunities.
