Revered lady-killer, composer and gourmet - Giacomo Puccini knew all about the bright sides of life and definitely enjoyed them eagerly. Born in Lucca, he kept a close relationship to his culinary-rich hometown as well as to his parents' home throughout his entire life devoting his culinary passion to the cucina povera, the "simple cooking" and pure produce of the Tuscany region. Excerpts of opera-classics like "La Boheme", "Tosca" and "Turandot" - shot at the opera-festival of Torre del Lago - complement this musical-culinary tour through Puccini's life and palatine.
