Hotel I Pini feels very connected to the figure of Giacomo Puccini. In fact, Puccini chose his friend Galileo Chini for the construction of the sets of some of his most important works. At that time there were frequent their meetings and his stays in the house of Galileo Chini.

Puccini chose the extraordinary imagination of the painter Galileo Chini, who oversaw the setting for The tabarro and Gianni Schicchi for the New York premiere of 1914.

Puccini was so pleased for his art/historical accuracythat for the staging of his last opera, Turandot, chose again Chini, especially for his direct knowledge of the atmospheres of the East.

Every year, also Torre del Lago celebrates the bond with Giacomo Puccini, where here he composed many of his most famous works. The Puccini Festival opens July 14 and closes August 19, 2017.
