Hotel I Pini feels very attached to the figure of Giacomo Puccini. In fact, Puccini chose his friend Galileo Chini for the construction of the sets and some of his most important works. At that time they had their meetings frequently  in the home of  Galileo Chini.

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

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

Every year,  Torre del Lago celebrates the bond with Giacomo Puccini, where he composed many of his most famous works.
