Giacomo Puccini's family spent the summer of 1891 in this splendid residence, on the shores of Lake Massaciuccoli. Maestro Puccini was enchanted by the beauty of Torre del Lago and decided to spend his holidays there in subsequent years. In 1899 he bought the house and had it renovated to transform it into the current two-storey villa with the typical liberty look of the late nineteenth-century middle-class homes.

The Museum of the plaster figurine and emigration of Coreglia Antelminelli was established in 1975.
The Museum is located in the historic center, in a building that belonged to Baron Carlo Vanni, a figurine maker who lived for a long time in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The museum and archaeological complex of the Cathedral has an excellent heritage of works of art and ancient testimonies that tell the millennial history of the Cathedral of Lucca, the result of the meeting over the centuries between artists, men of religion, merchants and illustrious personalities.

The Paolo Cresci Museum for the History of Italian Emigration is dedicated to the Florentine scholar Paolo Cresci (1943-1997), who, thanks to his passion for photography, collected over the years a vast archive of documents, books and photographs on history of emigration, creating what will later become the first core of the museum. When he passed away, the Province of Lucca acquired the collection, establishing in 2002 a Foundation destined to create and manage the Museum.
