Lucca Comics & Games is an annual comic book and gaming convention held in Lucca, Italy, traditionally at the end of October. It is the largest comics festival in Europe and the second biggest in the world after Comiket in Tokyo. The event traces its roots to the Salone Internazionale dei Comics, first held in 1965 in Bordighera, which moved to Lucca in 1966 and grew over decades into a major international gathering.
Attendees can explore numerous tents and pavilions arranged in squares within and outside the walls of the medieval city. The festival features comics, games, animation, and related pop culture. The 2024 edition's poster was designed by Yoshitaka Amano, illustrator of the Final Fantasy series, inspired by Giacomo Puccini's operas.
