The Italian government is establishing a new permanent Lucca Comics Museum for "Fumetti" in a former tobacco factory

Because while the Frank Miller and Peach Momoko signing queues were still filling the streets of Lucca this week for Lucca Comics & Games ' 60th anniversary, something more permanent was being signed upstairs at Palazzo Guinigi, and the country's government were involved. Italy's Culture Minister, Tuscany's regional president and Lucca mayor put their names to an agreement that creates the legal framework for a permanent Museo del Fumetto, a museum dedicated to comics, illustration, games, animation and interactive work. The deal commits the three institutions to establish the Fondazione Expo Comics Museum by the 31st of March 2027. That foundation will then run the museum and related cultural activities.

And the location? The former tobacco factory in Lucca. Fumetti from the fumes... was the location really chosen because of the potential wordplay? Very, very possibly. In the meantime, activities will begin in spaces at Palazzo Guinigi that already host the Lucca Legacy - A Comics and Games Story exhibition, open until the 30th of September 2027.
