Some pianos are more than just instruments, they are pieces of history.
This is the case of Puccini’s piano, the one that belonged to the famous composer of operas such as La bohème, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly.
This piano is a Steinway grand piano that Puccini bought in 1901 and used to compose most of his works until his death in 1924.
The piano is now displayed in Puccini’s birth house in Lucca, which has been turned into a museum dedicated to his life and legacy.
The house is located in the historic center of Lucca, near the cathedral, and preserves many of Puccini’s personal belongings, such as manuscripts, letters, photographs, and costumes.
The piano is the centerpiece of the museum, and visitors can admire its beauty and imagine the melodies that Puccini created on it.
