Lucca is a wonderful city, it deserves a visit for sure. In autumn it is coloured with yellow, brown and green tones that it seems unreal. This moment of the year it’s ideal for a visit, even if there are other 155000 people that think the same.

Another part of the fair is the Japan Palace, far from the game pavilion, at north of the city inside an ancient palace with a tower, but you can reach it in 15/20 minutes. Here you can see it without people, 10 minutes before the opening. This is the part of the fair dedicated to Japan. Cultural penetration through anime and manga affected Italy very deep, and the strange thing is that Japan love Italy too. Well, we made a war together 60 years ago…

A handmade and illegal stand about helmets. Its name (“elmettaro” it is not an Italian word) denoted a Roman origin…

This is the illegal market outside the game pavilion. It is a good tradition of Lucca, that permits to people to sell their things on the grass, while police close its eyes. But last year there was a persecution, even for legal vendors that didn’t release bills. The beautiful thing of the photo is the sign:”It is prohibited to sell here!”.

I wanted to visit the fair and the historical island could be as a prison if you couldn’t move. So I divided myself with the duty to demonstrate games to people and the chance to visit the fair. I visited it in the first hours of the day, when people in the game area were scarce. An effort, even because after an hour from the morning start the streets were overcrowded, as you can see.
