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.

Departure Point

Piazza del Giglio, 13/15, 55100 Lucca LU, Italy

  • Teatro del Giglio, Lucca, Italy
    The meeting point with the guide is at the ticket office of the theatre, Teatro del Giglio. The tour begins with a visit to the theatre’s interior accompanied by excerpts of music performed here in the past; the construction of the theatre dates to 1675.
    30 minutes
  • Piazza Napoleone, Lucca, Italy
    Back outside the theatre, the guide will explain about the adjacent Piazza Napoleone and the rock, pop, jazz, and soul concerts that have been held in this location for the past 20 years with headliners such as David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Elton John and even the Rolling Stones.
    15 minutes
  • Lucca's Duomo (Cattedrale di San Martino), Lucca, Italy
    The next stops are at the neighboring Church of San Giovanni and the Cathedral San Martino, both of which have produced musicians and music of great quality thanks to the recurring religious celebrations held through the centuries. The Puccini family were organists of the Cathedral for 124 consecutive years.
    15 minutes
  • Piazza Anfiteatro, Lucca, Italy
    The tour proceeds along Lucca’s narrow medieval streets to the Conservatory named after the illustrious cellist and composer, Luigi Boccherini, another native son. The institute was founded by the composer Giovanni Pacini in 1842 and Puccini’s father was its director for the two years preceding his untimely death. Next is a visit to the characteristic oval-shaped Piazza dell’Anfiteatro where gladiators battled in Roman times. Today it is the location for markets and performances, including jazz concerts.
    15 minutes
  • Palazzo Pfanner, Lucca, Italy
    You then pass alongside the residence where Niccolò Paganini, the famous violinist, lived while in town during the first decade of the 1800s when Elisa Bonaparte, Napoleon’s sister, reigned over Lucca. These were the years when Paganini’s career began to flourish. You will hear the languid notes of one of his famous guitar and violin serenades, which were composed in Lucca. Close by is the splendid late-17th century Baroque garden of Palazzo Controni-Pfanner, a magnificent example of the gardens of that time – veritable three-dimensional outdoor stage sets. In Via degli Asili, the guide will point out the plaque dedicated to the memory of the composer, Alfredo Catalani, accompanied by the notes of his most successful opera, La Wally. Catalani died at the young age of 39.
    15 minutes
  • Puccini Museum - Casa Natale, Lucca, Italy
    At the garden of Palazzo Diodati-Orsetti, there is another plaque, this one dedicated to the great violinist and composer Francesco Geminiani. He migrated from Lucca to England in the early 18th century and spent his last years in Ireland where he ultimately passed away. From here, Piazza San Michele, considered the center of Lucca, is just a short walk away. The tour ends with a visit to the nearby Puccini Museum, birthplace of the most famous composer and celebrity of Lucca, Giacomo Puccini.

Lucia was a great guide with stories of music old and new. We saw interesting parts of the city too. Our only suggestion is that aviator should put the length of the tour on its site as it was longer than expected and we sadly had to break off a little early.

Hors des sentiers battus... La visite a duré près de 2 h 30 ! Nous avons pu apprendre l'histoire passionnante de la ville (ou je devrais dire plutôt, les histoires). Nous avons pu découvrir le passage d'un grand nombre de musiciens dans cette ville tout en écoutant des extraits de musique attribués aux compositeurs dont ils nous a parlé. Nous n'avons pas visité l'intérieur du théâtre, la visite du musée Puccini s'est faite au pas de course et l'itinéraire qui est indiqué n'a pas vraiment été suivi, mais bon, avec 2 h 30 de visite avec un italien passionné, je ne vais absolument pas me plaindre et ne regrette rien. Note à notre guide, nous n'avons pas évoqué le passage de Paganini, pourtant resté près de 10 dans votre ville... le petit passage à Palazzo Pfanner a quand même un peu manqué... dommage...

Een geweldige tour. De gids nam alle tijd. We hadden iets meer muziek verwacht op de muziektour, waardoor het meer een rondtoer leek. De kennis en enthousiasme vergoedde veel!
