Lucca loves festivals and July is the month of festivals. The woman was in one of the medieval festivals last July. They parade through the city representing each reigning family in the history of Lucca. They wear period clothing, and play instruments of the time. They also carry crossbows, and have crossbow competitions, flag throwing competitions and others. They reinact historical moments and generally just take your breath away! If you can be in Lucca in July walk out at night around 9:00 and you are sure to be surprised by a beautiful ceremony celebrating this incredible city.
