Who we are
"The secret of creativity consists in preserving youth inside, the secret of a genius consists in preserving childhood's soul all life long". Pavel Florenskij, Letter to his daughter
Luca and Lucia, both born in Genoa in 1968 met at University at the end of the 80s'. Both qualified in the legal profession; Luca as a lawyer and Lucia as a professor of criminal law but some years after graduating at University they left promising careers to fulfil their dreams and follow their inspiration.
They have always had great talent and creativity in different arts (dancing, painting, live entertainment, writing, cartoons...), passion for travelling, strong commitment to social matters, particular attention to personal relationships and deep environmental awareness.
They got married in 1996 and decided to leave the city of Genoa (too big for them) to move to Chiavari, a tiny beautiful town on the Ligurian coast in the North of Italy.
After some years of different artistic experiences and co-operating with the Municipality of Chiavari as legal counsellors, in 2000 they founded Ludica Antiqua, a company that provides entertainment in period costume for VIP parties and top-level events all over the world. They organised shows in Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Hong Kong, Dubai (U.A.E.) and gained a strong experience and a solid reputation over the years.
Travelling around the globe and meeting so many people that love Italy, gave them the idea of creating the new project of "Live Italy", a unique and original way to know and appreciate Italy (not visiting but living in it), an experience with them artists to discover together the sense and the essence of beauty.
These two experiences, Live Italy and Ludica Antiqua, both originate from the same project that Luca and Lucia called Tripudium (which means joy in Latin, the old Italian language), a club open only to those who share the love for the beauty that lies inside the most authentic and simple things of life.
