We decided to visit as a change to tombs and churches. Here they have a great selection of Puccini memorabilia, music scores and letters he wrote, news articles about him and original opera concert brochures etc.The music scores and letters were really interesting to look at and in immaculate condition.

Travelers who love opera should visit this restored home of the young Puccini and then take the train to Torre del Lago to visit the home he maintained as a creative adult. The apartment in Lucca has truly interesting documentation of his work and early years.

If you have a choice of Torre del Lago or here then go to his home by the lake which is far more evocative. This is very clinical with a few cases of letters. If you can't read the Italian then you will be round in 15 minutes, not worth the entrance fee. If you are not a Puccini aficionado... More

I enjoy the music of Puccini, and that was my reason to visit. There is a great selection of memorabilia, letters he wrote, and news articles about him. His piano was probably of the greatest interest. It's a nice stop with a selection of Puccini bookmarks, CDs of music, etc.

If you love opera, see this and then go to Torre del Largo. The entry times were strange but the apartment is delightful to see.

During our visit in this charming town, we had the chance to visit Puccini's home. Was interesting to see how it looked like but we expected something better planned to remember this great musician!!

Nice thing to have such a great genius of mankind benig born within the walls but unfortunately the native house of Giacomo Puccini is just a cold, commercial experience which does not really need all the attention that it seems to have. No music in the background, no real fornutire pieces, new walls, no interactive devices. But possibly the spirit... More

Very interesting and informative. Puccini died in Belgium, where he was being treated for lung cancer (due to excessive smoking) and his lifestyle led to disapproval from the genteel people of Lucca. Most people have some knowledge of his music, but you learn so much more here. You can read original correspondence and look at old photos, your visit accompanied... More

This house was home to Puccini in his childhood and young adulthood. Even if you're not into opera, it serves as an interesting glimpse of life in an apartment of this type in Puccini's time. If you are a big fan of the Maestro you'll delight in seeing original manuscripts, personal photos and letters. There is a lot of material... More
