Simply Giacomo Puccini
A surprising and compelling story. Lucca, on a normal day after school: Giulio, Ciro and Francesca set off on their bikes home. They ride through the narrow streets of the city and then on the walls - and suddenly it happens: Ciro's violin falls to the ground and breaks. Now only Giulio's grandfather - Grandpa Marco -, an elderly violin maker, will be able to help them.
Grandpa Marco's workshop is a fascinating place. The walls are papered with old posters, playbills and photos of Puccini and characters from his operas. Attracted by these figures, the three friends want to know their identities. Excited Grandpa Marco recounts the Maestro's life - his birth and childhood spent in Lucca; his move to Milan; his worldwide stardom at the age of 34; the composition of his most famous operas; and his private life in Torre del Lago - but also his most famous operas, which can be heard through the various QR codes within the text: from Turandot to La Bohème, Manon Lescaut to Tosca, and Madame Butterfly.
