Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini was born here in the historic centre of Lucca, in Corte San Lorenzo No. 8, on 22 December 1858. He lived here with his sisters, brother and parents until he moved to Milan in the autumn of 1880, where he was able to enrol at the conservatory there thanks to a scholarship.
The house in Lucca had to be sold due to financial difficulties, but was later bought back by him.
Today, the property belongs to the "Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca" and is administered by the "Fondazione Giacomo Puccini". The museum rooms display furnishings, documents and letters, handwritten scores and other objects that belonged to the maestro. Among them is the Steinway & Sons piano on which he composed "Turandot", among other works.
