Discovering Puccini Museum

The three Puccini museums (Casa natale, Lucca – Casa dei Puccini, Celle dei Puccini – Villa Puccini, Torre del Lago Puccini) are all taking part in the Region of Tuscany «Amico Museo» project, with the support and collaboration of the Province of Lucca, in offering a tour of the Puccini Museum, the name chosen to unite all the Puccini contexts present in the province, starting with the homes of the Maestro and his family, that preserve the memory of the dynasty and the composer’s creative activities.
A truly special, and entirely new occasion, this is a first time collaboration, in the aim of securing the creation of a more integrated system and promoting future Puccini tours.
