Dal 2 ottobre al 22 novembre 2026 torna “Gli organi di Puccini tra Lucca e Pisa”, la rassegna organizzata da Toscana Classica. From October 2 to November 22, 2026, “Puccini’s Organs Between Lucca and Pisa,” the festival organized by Toscana Classica, returns. The spotlight will be on historic instruments preserved in local churches, some of which were played by Puccini himself before he moved to Milan.
The Giacomo Puccini Study Center is pleased to sponsor and support the initiative.
Seven organ concerts and two special events will offer a chance to rediscover a lesser-known chapter in the life of Giacomo Puccini.
The event will take place in Lucca, Pisa, Capannori, and Massarosa, featuring organists such as Roberto Padoin, Manuel Tomadin, Marian Polin, Maria Nacy, Olimpio Medori, Gabriele Giacomelli, and Ferruccio Bartoletti.
