Every year, the month-long Lucca Festival brings unparalleled musical performances to this Italian city's historical venues.
Since 1998, renowned acts such as Bob Dylan, James Brown, Mark Knopfler, and Jamiroquai have graced its stage.
Running from late June through July each year, many of these shows take place in Piazza Napoleone - known locally as Piazza Grande - with the Ducal Palace forming a spectacular backdrop.
