About Us
ToscanaBricks was born in 2012 thanks to a small group of people who organised, the following year, the very first themed LEGO event in Tuscany: Mattoncini a Palazzo (Bricks at Palace). Our group of AFOL created many events in Tuscany working in very close contact with others italian rLUG (Recognized LEGO® Users Group). Delegations of our members participated in the major events organized by other rLUG in Italy and, starting from 2014, participated in the european Fan Weekend in Skærbæk, Denmark, and in Paredes de Coura, Portugal. From the starting members we grew to more than 80 proudly becoming the biggest AFOL group in Tuscany.
Our historical event Mattoncini a Palazzo, now Ludicomix Bricks & Kids, has been achiving resounding success since the first edition. Year by year we have been improving the quality of our masterpieces and involving even more exhibitors, always in captivating children and young fans of LEGO®.
In 2014 we were the first AFOL group to bring LEGO® in the world wide famous exposition Lucca Comics & Games, treating Lucca Junior’s LEGO themed exhibition and activities at Family Palace for three years, until 2016.
In 2017 a new big exhibition event was set up in Florence, Bricks in Florence Festival. In collaboration with the Opera del Duomo di Firenze, a live event is organized to build the Duomo (Florence Cathedral), the Campanile di Giotto (Giotto’s Campanile) and the Battistero di San Giovanni (Baptistery of Saint John).
ToscanaBricks‘ members gather at least once a month to coordinate work groups, improve theirs skills, compearing theirs MOCs, meet new AFOLs and organise events. Our events are enriched by LEGO® themes such as Castle, Star Wars, Classic & Vintage, Pirates, Friends, Architecture, Technic, Bionicle and much more!
ToscanaBricks spreads the passion for the LEGO gaming system in order to stimulate the creative and constructive abilities that exist in each of us.
