Easy Italian 5 Music in Tuscany

Good morning everyone this is the second video from Easy Italian about Lucca Let's go And speaking of the opera and the music do you think Lucca is a city of music or not I believe Lucca should focus on this—I really do There's a conservatory here and anyway Puccini is famous worldwide so I believe this is absolutely important The Lucca Summer Festival is also a major event that generates significant economic impact and attracts many visitors Personally I attended a concert and had a wonderful time Is music very important culturally in Lucca I know that You're not from Lucca I'm from Lucca yes I came here I wasn't exactly from Lucca originally Still I love the music in Lucca even during the festival in Piazza Grande—did you see it It's always full which means it must be good right Want to hear something else Yes a small point regarding the work Opera Lucca opera music opera—can it tell us anything about this We're back to the usual Lucca isn't a musical city—it is music itself Pigli Catalani Puccini Boccheri— a delightful fusion of pleasing operatic and symphonic music It's something Lucca that the municipal administration doesn't fully capitalize on because there aren't significant interests involved If you give them money through the administration they take it but that doesn't mean they happily reinvest it afterward You give it to him and then it's fine in short And Tuscany in general Tuscany is absolutely beautiful so if you're planning to visit come on down—Florence Lucca no problem at all Siena you're joking—there's the Palio Thank you so much Tuscany as a whole is absolutely beautiful but what would have delighted Lucca even more You've arrived in Tuscany and We've been in Liguria until just a short while ago So it's only just arrived I'll pick you up right on time Everything's settled Thank you so much But I can tell you that Lucca is above all a musical city Alright Puccini did a few heads like that—because Puccini Puccini But in reality Puccini is a pioneer yet there are many others who in terms of fame talent and everything else are no less than him—indeed we might say we're the leaders And Puccini do you know Puccini's works Of course Puccini was born in Lucca and nearby in Torre del Lago is Bocelli That's why we came—to enjoy a bit of opera some music Bocelli sings well doesn't he There are many many Have you been to see Puccini Puccini is in Torre del Lago But Puccini is here too isn't he Hey just place it there—see Puccini It's better if you take the photos and grab Puccini too Well have you been there No not yet it's our first day here Ah then slowly slowly you'll find us because you know Lucca is beautiful but it's small so you'll get around quickly take your time go around quickly Do you think Lucca is the city of music of opera Absolutely definitely with Puccini but also with Catalani and others whose names I can't recall at the moment But she's also becoming quite famous for pop and rock music We host a summer festival in the summer featuring international artists such as Robbie Williams Lenny Kravitz and Oasis Thus Lucca is undoubtedly not just Puccini and Boccherini but also rock making it unquestionably a city of music
