Torre del lago
Open-air theatre

Torre del lago



Torre del Lago is a small town between Lake Massaciuccoli and the sea [14kms from Pisa and 25kms from Lucca]. Famous, of course, for its summer Puccini festival in the outdoor theater on the lake. Puccini called this area "paradise" and in fact the lake is still very peaceful and a good place for a relaxing vacation. He turned an old watch tower by the lake into his villa, now a museum, and wrote many of his operas there. Recently the name Puccini has been added to the town name of Torre del Lago to honour the famous composer.
