At 10 am, you step into 9 Via di Poggio, the modest apartment where Giacomo Puccini was born in 1858. In the cases: a 1901 piano, letters to publisher Giulio Ricordi, and an early sketch of La Bohème. The house also recalls his organist years at San Martino and the Puccini family’s long service to Lucca’s churches since the 1700s. It’s a city with music in its bricks, from ramparts to cloisters, and this address makes the legacy feel close at hand.
Then it’s west to Torre del Lago, 22 km away, while your driver handles the road and you sip a quick caffè en route to Viareggio. Pick-up at your hotel, a Mercedes at your disposal, flexible timing: tour the Villa Museo Puccini, pause at the Belvedere on the lake, then dinner before the open-air festival. With a private chauffeur in Tuscany, you glide between visits and tastings without watching the clock, and the late-night transfer after the opera stays smooth even if the final aria rings out past 11 pm.

Your chauffeur’s tip
For July–August festival nights, book central seats in rows 8–12: you’ll read the surtitles easily, keep the lake backdrop, and avoid wind-distorted acoustics.
