People travelled from far and wide to enjoy the festival, which had a packed programme of events, activities and entertainment taking place in the city centre.
Among the fun was the sight and sounds of Italy’s greatest marques with a display of Vespas and Lambrettas.
Ducatis and Ferraris were also in town.
For the younger members of the family, The Bambino Zone was in Dalton Square with music, entertainment and activities.
In addition, special guest Italian actress Katia Greco flew in to attend the inaugural Lancaster International Film Festival and joined in the festivities.
The film festival will take place at The Storey on Friday (May 26) starting at 2pm through to 7.30pm, with some tickets available on the door.
