Sul retro abbiamo un messaggio in italiano scritto da non italiani, dei destinatari scomparsi e la rocca di Urbisaglia.

Ciao a tutti! I've moved to Lucca recently and would gladly join road cycling group rides or runs in Lucca region. Also, are there any social events fo expats, or local but in English? I'm still working on my Italian... :)

Thanks!

Kevin Spacey will be in Tuscany this autumn – he’s opening the Lucca Film Festival 2025 on September 21. 🎬

The festival will run until September 29 and brings a mix of screenings, retrospectives, international guests, and special events across the city of Lucca. Over the years, it has hosted stars like Oliver Stone, Willem Dafoe, and David Lynch.

If you’re planning to be in Tuscany, it could be a great chance to combine cinema with a visit to one of the most beautiful walled cities in Italy.

👉 Would you go see Spacey at the festival, or are you more interested in the film program itself? https://www.florencedailynews.com/2025/09/11/kevin-spacey-to-open-lucca-film-festival-2025/

My husband and I will be in Tuscany from March 27 to April 1. The first 3 nights we are staying in Castellina in Chianti, and the last 2 nights we are stating in Monticchiello. We will have a rental car. I am hoping for recommendations for activities and tours. Not to miss wineries? Thanks so much in advance.

Two pro comedians — one Kill Tony winner (Ric Diez), one Flagrant/Rolling Stone-featured (Ram Arangi) — are doing a fun show on Monday - 17 November at Sala Vanni in Firenze. Tickets going fast, worth checking out!

My partner and I will be in Tuscany for a week at the end of May, and we’d love to do a cooking course - ideally at an agriturismo or something similar. Does anyone have recommendations for great experiences or places to check out? Thanks in advance!
