Things to do in 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).
