Torre del Lago
Torre del Lago is a small village between Lucca and Viareggio, which owes its fame to the great composer Giacomo Puccini, who built a beautiful villa along the shores of the Massaciuccoli lake. The streets around the villa were named after his most famous operas.
Lago Massaciuccoli, an important nature preserve for rare and migrant birds, provides a pretty backdrop for open-air performances of Puccini's work.

Montecatini Terme
Montecatini Terme, with its world- famous thermal baths, large parks and gorgeous gardens has been a busy health spa for centuries. High above, connected by a funicular railway that was built in 1897, is Montecatini Alto, a fortified medieval town commanding spectacular views of the Tuscan countryside which is dotted with many villages and towns, and divided by well-tended farms, vineyards and olive orchards.
These "Montecantinis" sit in the broadValdinievole on the A11 highway in Pistoia Province between Lucca to the west andPrato and Florence to the east. They should not be confused with Montecatini Val di Cecina, which is 100 kilometres south in Pisa Province.
