The Puccini Museum is situated in the birthplace of the renowned composer Giacomo Puccini in Lucca. This historic site, where Puccini was born on December 22, 1858, offers a unique insight into the life and work of the composer. The Puccini family had settled in this house in 1815, and Puccini himself lived here until 1880 when he moved to Milan to complete his studies.
Collection of the Puccini Museum
The Puccini Museum is home to a collection of original furniture and precious objects that belonged to Giacomo Puccini. These include autographed scores of his early compositions, numerous letters, paintings, photographs, sketches, and valuable documents. These artifacts provide a glimpse into Puccini's personal life and creative process, making the museum a fascinating destination for music and history enthusiasts alike.
Puccini's Steinway & Sons Piano
One of the highlights of the Puccini Museum is the Steinway & Sons piano, model B-211, with the serial number 98606, which was purchased by Giacomo Puccini in the spring of 1901. This piano holds a special place in the museum as it was on this instrument that Puccini composed much of his music, including his last opera, 'Turandot'. The piano was restored in 2006 and has retained its original structure, recovering its original sound.
