I do not have a convertible car, ok, but for one day I could have a lake all to myself. Of course, the lack of people was due to the chill wind of December which penetrated to my bones, and threatened to make my cap float away, but the lake was in front of me in all its beauty. An horror charm, to tell the truth , hundreds of seagulls flying in front of me and as in a famous film by Hitchock, they seemed ready to attack me and kill me. However, I have an unhealthy taste for the splatter genre and so, I loved very much this scene. I was in Torre del Lago Puccini, a village near Viareggio, where the famous composer (Puccini to be precise) lived and composed some of his most famous works. Puccini's House is open to visitors and to get more information, please visit this site.

The lakeside promenade is really impressive, thanks to a very rich natural environment and the presence of tens of tender duck which personally I love. If you go to Lucca, Pisa or Viareggio, this place is certainly very nice to visit for a nice walk on the lake front.
