Torre del Lago

Torre del Lago is a village in the municipality of Viareggio, in the province of Lucca, and here the famous Italian composer Giacomo Puccini lived for thirty years.

It was here, in his house on the lake, that he wrote his major works, including Tosca (1900), Madame Butterfly (1904), La Fanciulla del West (1910), La Rondine (1917) and Il Trittico (1918). Not far from his house stands the impressive open-air theatre, which every year welcomes the biggest names in international opera. Torre del Lago is also much loved for its marina, which is always teeming in the summer months, thanks to its numerous restaurants and clubs.
