sited along the Tuscan seaside and it is 4 km distant from the beaches of Viareggio, 18 km from Luca and Pisa indeed. The most appreciated of the 20th century is Puccini, the great artist who has created extraordinary compositions for the lyrical opera; thanks to these marvellous creations, nowadays, the audience can be part of memorable moments at the Festival in Torre del Lago. More than 70 years of history, the Festival of Puccini is one of the most unique events in Italy, where many famous artists have emphasised emotions to the audience and honoured the grand master. The Puccini Festival was started in 1930, thanks to Puccini’s own initiative, who’s desire was to find his universe in a quiet and picturesque place, where he could be able to bloom again his creative genius. In fact, at the end of the ‘800 he decided to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Torre del Lago, from where he continued to develop his creations, nowadays famous all around the globe: the “Bohème” and the “Madam Butterfly”.
