Reply to comment by jacobspartan1992 in TIL that every October, the medieval town of Lucca, Italy turns into the biggest comicon in Europe. 300,000 cosplayers and enthusiasts take over the historic center and local shops sell merchandise. by TheChopinet

Yeah it's really neat! I'm not into anime and comics but you don't even need a ticket to enter Lucca during the festival, you just buy one if you wanna go to the meet and greets and that kind of stuff

All the people in costume walking by old churches and through picturesque alleyways really make it kind of magical.

I thought it would have that cool novelty. Come across Superman in a 16th century Church XD
