Chiatri at that time \u2013 according to the story of Dante Del Fiorentino, one of the first Puccini biographers \u2013 had not more than a dozen families, 200 sheep, 10 cows, a few chickens and a solitary church.<\/p>\n

Puccini invested energy and money for the construction of this residence, an undertaking made even more challenging by the absence of any road suitable for vehicles, so all the building materials had to be unloaded at Farneta and taken with draft animals for about 4 km of track.<\/p>\n

Starting in 1898 Puccini began to put pressure on the City of Lucca to build a suitable road. In 1906 it seemed that all obstacles had been removed, after Puccini had even declared his willingness to bear most of the costs. For unknown reasons, however, the project fell through at the last moment and Puccini attributed the responsibility to the mayor Massimo Del Carlo, his brother-in-law. The road was to be completed after the composer\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Built to a project by\u00a0ingegnere<\/em>\u00a0Giuseppe Puccinelli, the villa has a regular plan and is of distinctly Tuscan style, defined by \u201cvisible\u201d brick facing and characterized by stylistic elements in neo-Romanesque mullioned windows with polychrome decoration that characterize the first floor of the main prospect.<\/p>\n

The main fa\u00e7ade, featuring a symmetrical design, is introduced by a small flight of marble steps. The interior of the villa, qualified by a large study hall and living rooms for conversation, was decorated with light lacquered furniture, made by the company Berardi e Tedeschi, renowned Florentine furniture makers, in Art Nouveau style.<\/p>\n

The building, surrounded by a large garden, could have been a place of peace and rest for Puccini, ideal for his hunting, but also for his work. In reality Puccini always spent few days there, except for a few weeks of Summer, in 1908, during which he composed most of Act I of\u00a0La fanciulla del West<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The villa was sold by Antonio Puccini in 1943.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”download-app”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1679416385606{background-color: #efefef !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1686846227683{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”altri-luoghi-del-territorio”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
