Reply to 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
Spent a lovely two days in Lucca a few years back. Very happy it wasn't in October :).
(Nothing against cons. We were there to see the historic city and this would have been a very different experience)
