When the appreciation is this astonishing there are no words to describe these feelings and emotions: that is the case of this unbelievable Lucca Comics & Games event. Therefore, to avoid being considered arrogant and presumptuous, I refrain from commenting on the figures of the 2013 Festival. However, it must be said that such goals can be achieved solely thanks to a staff composed by expert, professional, and motivated collaborators, and that such a model should be imitated to plan and host other events in Lucca. This is due to a competence gained from direct experience, combined with a solid cultural background. Additionally these collaborators show a total commitment both to Lucca and to the thousands of visitors who come to fully be immersed in creativity and to share passions and experiences.
Sure, on Saturday the massive flow of visitors, added to the bad weather, caused some inconveniences. This will be the topic to discuss, or better the problem to solve, for next year: pedestrian footpaths permitting an easy transfer in and out the city, as well as from and to the railway station, because the solution experimented this year was not able to solve some inconveniences and misunderstandings. I believe in simple solutions and I am positive that during 2014 we will be able to give you just good news.
In conclusion: thank you, thank you, thank you! Everland has shown once more its treasures and I am sure that those who were hunting for emotions have gone home with a rich loot. And they earned it!
