Lucca Noir

The 2025 edition of Lucca Noir, titled "Cursed Spring", took place on March 14 and 15 at the Sala delle Chiavi d'Oro, in the shadow of the Torre Guinigi, in the historic center of Lucca. Organized by the Bambini Cattivi writers' collective, led by Andrea Giannasi and Fabio Mundadori, the event brought together numerous crime and noir authors from all over Italy. Two collective works were at the heart of the edition: a crime novel written by forty-four collaborators and a noir work. Through presentations, anthologies, and meetings with authors, the festival confirmed its role as a reference point for genre enthusiasts in Tuscany.
