The biggest one, in truth, this year claiming over 100,000 visitors  8O  8O  8O . Here is my little photo report: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28697569@N ... 962569489/

I'm of course referring to Lucca Comics & Games. This year they had a nice lineup of non Italian guests: Troy Denning, Jamie Chambers, Margaret Weis (MWP had a booth and had "very good sales" albeit their books are only in English  :wink: ), Joe Dever of Lone Wolf fame, Reiner Knizia and more.

Wow, this is excellent news!  My wife & I will likely be moving to Italy in a few years, and I was worried about the gaming.  Glad to see gaming is alive & well in Italy.  Thanks for the pics!  :D

Well, it has at least 100,000 people interested in Games & Comics :wink: More than Gen Con and almost as many people as in San Diego (well, give us some time more :P).
Nice pics, Alex!

Thanks. I'd post the link to my report, but I guess none of you can read Italian (nobody is perfect  :P ).

Great! No guns please  :D  :wink:  :P

Why do you want to move here? For retirement? Mind you, the dollar is very, very weak compared to the euro  :!:
