Enjoyable music tour of the historical city of Lucca
Music and Giacomo Puccini are two points of reference tied to history and harmony. To acquaint oneself with Lucca, they can also be perceived as two of the fundamental elements generated by a territory rich in history, culture, and tradition.
Visitors will be surprised to discover how many other artists have left mementos of their passage through Lucca and how many major events have been held here, to present day. Past musicians like Boccherini, Paganini and contemporary ones like Chet Baker and The Rolling Stones, to name a few, have all been protagonists in Lucca’s still vibrant musical journey.
Our guided tour consists of a pleasant stroll through town, accompanied by excerpts of the artists’ most significant and famous compositions.
So, in addition to getting to know the history of Lucca, it will be possible to become acquainted with the musicians, hear anecdotes about their lives and the places in town connected to them, including the Puccini Museum and the Teatro del Giglio.
