Sir Patrick Stewart has been inducted into the Lucca Walk of Fame, in Lucca, Italy. Over the weekend, Stewart, along with the rest of the cast of the upcoming Star Trek: Picard, appeared at the 2019 Lucca Comics and Games Festival.

According to StarTrek.com, during the panel, fans were treated to Stewart reciting Shakespeare, while cast members Isa Briones, Santiago Cabrera, Michelle Hurd, Harry Treadaway, Evan Evagora and Alison Pill (no relation) watched.

Following a press conference at the Festival, the Mayor of Lucca, Alessandro Tambellini, greeted Stewart, and inducted him into the Walk of Fame. Stewart cast his hands and signed his name in concrete as part of the ceremony.
