Italy Torre del Lago Puccini
A romantic wooden gazebo on the placid lake of Massaciuccoli. As you enter the gazebo, there’s an inscription on top, from Lorenzo di Medici’s “A Song For Bacchus”: “Chi vuol essere lieto, sia: di domani non c'è certezza” (he who wants to be happy, let him be: nothing is sure about tomorrow”.
No wonder Puccini chose this tranquil retreat to concentrate on his music!!!
