“Great people are in need of great inspiration – This monument of Giacomo Puccini is a giving from a sculptor to Italian culture<\/em>.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this touching dedication, Russian sculptor Aidyn Zeinalov donated his statue of Giacomo Puccini to Montecatini Terme. The famous composer from Lucca loved to stay in the spa town to find harmony and inspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bronze sculpture depicts Puccini in a completely relaxed pose: seated on a bench, the artist enjoys his unmistakable cigar while gazing at the Palazzina Regia in the shade of the trees. Indeed, Montecatini Terme was a refuge for musicians and composers, a place where they could leave behind the hustle and bustle of the city and find the contemplation necessary for inspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statue is placed in a focal point of the city, at the beginning of Viale Verdi, in a small garden between the Imperial Cinema, the Municipal Palace and the Palazzina Regia. The serene pose of the statue seems to anticipate the experience that awaits the visitor: a stay in Montecatini Terme is an invitation to enjoy lush nature and the benefits of its thermal waters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
