Tuscany vlog
hey guys, sorry I haven't uploaded in a couple weeks but as you can see, I was on vacation. So for now this short update vlog will have to do, but I promise I have lots of different and exciting projects coming the next couple weeks :)
Also, the footage is a lil shaky because I didn't have my tripod with me and I didn't want to do every shot twice.
Again, please feel free to comment or share, your support is very appreciated. Thank you :)

Shore in Viareggio, Viareggio, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy, Europe
Viareggio is a city and comune in northern Tuscany, Italy, on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. With a population of over 64,000, it is the second largest city within the province of Lucca, after only Lucca city. It is known as a seaside resort as well as being the home of the famous carnival of Viareggio (dating back to 1873), and its papier-mâché floats, which (since 1925), parade along the promenade known as Passeggiata a mare, in the weeks preceding Easter. The symbol of the carnival of Viareggio and its official mask is Burlamacco, designed and invented by Uberto Bonetti in 1930. The city traces its roots back to the first half of the 16th century when it became the only gate to the sea for the Republic of Lucca. The oldest building in Viareggio, known as Torre Matilde, dates back to this time and was built by the Lucchesi in 1541 as a defensive fortification to fight the constant menace of corsair incursions. Viareggio is also an active industrial and manufacturing centre; its shipbuilding industry has long been renowned around the world and its fishing and floricultural industries are still fundamental sectors to the city's economy. Viareggio hosts the Premio letterario Viareggio Répaci for literature, established in 1929. Amongst the other events organized around the year, it is worth mentioning the Festival Gaber, which has been held every August since 2004 to celebrate the memory of Giorgio Gaber, and is attended by several high-profile Italian musicians. The primary sectors of Vieraggio's economy are tourism, commerce and services, include fishing and floriculture (the flowers of Versilia). The city also houses prolific shipyards. At the beginning of the 19th century the craftsmen from Viareggio used to build small fishing vessels along the banks of the Burlamacca canal. As the century moved on, however, this small shipbuilding activity prospered until it became an internationally acclaimed centre. Nowadays, Viareggio represents the main luxury yachts producer city in the world thanks to the presence in the territory of famous shipyards like Azimut Benetti, Codecasa, Fipa, Rossinavi, Perini navi and many others. The Carnival of Viareggio was established in 1873, while the now ever-present papier mâché used to build the floats featured during its parades was first introduced in 1925. The official masks of the Carnival are Burlamacco and Ondina, drawn for the first time in 1930. Since 1954, RAI broadcasts the entire event on national TV. Since 2001, the craftsmen of the carnival have moved to the Cittadella del Carnevale or, literally, Carnival Town. The entire area of Viareggio extends over the coastal flooding plain of Versilia. Located on the Ligurian Sea (although traditionally considered to face the Tyrrhenian Sea), it has 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) of sandy beaches, of which 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) are managed by private beach resorts and the remaining 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) are public (most of the public beach is part of the Parco Naturale Regionale Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli. Viareggio borders the local municipalities of Camaiore, Massarosa and Vecchiano) (PI). The municipal area comprises the Lake of Massaciuccoli and several canals, the most important ones of which are known as Burlamacca, Farabola, Fossa dell'Abate (bordering the municipality of Camaiore), and Fosso Le Quindici. The climate is characterised by high levels of humidity (between 60 and 80% of relative humidity in the summer months) and a yearly rainfall off 900 to 1,000 millimetres (35 to 39 in) as a result of the proximity of the Apuanian Alps to the coast. The main winds blow from the south-east, the Libeccio and the Ponente which batter the coast for two to three days in a row and cause severe storms. The beginning of the 20th century saw again a marked development of the coast and tourism industry which determined a drastic change to most of the beach. The Passeggiata or promenade was born, with its cafés and shops, contributing to turning the city into the Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Wood was very widely used in most building and, in 1917, a large portion of the city was lost in fire in only one night. It was only during the fascist era that wood would finally be replaced by other materials. During World War II Viareggio was subject to heavy bombings and entire suburbs of the city were destroyed. After the war, the reconstruction could finally begin, but the city had changed its appearance dramatically. Today Viareggio is still a renowned seaside resort and is widely famous for its carnival and shipbuilding industry. Late in the evening of June 29, 2009, a train carrying liquified petroleum gas derailed while approaching Viareggio's railway station.

LUCCA (Toscana) PUCCINI MUSEUM - CASA NATALE DI GIACOMO PUCCINI
All’interno delle Mura della storica città di Lucca, Piazza Cittadella e Corte San Lorenzo sono luoghi densi di memoria, che rimandano direttamente all’infanzia e alla prima giovinezza di Giacomo Puccini
Il cuore di questo suggestivo itinerario è il Puccini Museum – Casa natale, dove Giacomo Puccini nacque il 22 dicembre 1858. Qui crebbe insieme alle sorelle, al fratello e ai genitori, iniziando gli studi musicali e componendo da adolescente i primi lavori. Lasciò la casa di famiglia per proseguire a Milano i propri studi perfezionando la sua vocazione e aspirazione per l’opera lirica. Venduta per sopperire a difficoltà economiche, l’abitazione tornò di proprietà di Giacomo Puccini dopo il successo di Manon Lescaut e da allora è rimasta proprietà dei discendenti del Maestro per giungere infine al patrimonio della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca e alla gestione della Fondazione Giacomo Puccini. Oggi conserva arredi, documenti, spartiti e preziosi oggetti appartenuti al musicista, tra cui il pianoforte Steinway & Sons su cui compose molti dei suoi lavori, tra i quali Turandot.
In Piazza Cittadella si può apprezzare il monumento bronzeo a Giacomo Puccini, opera di Vito Tongiani donata alla città dall’Associazione Industriali di Lucca nel 1994.
Sempre in Piazza Cittadella si affaccia la Biglietteria del Puccini Museum, situata nei locali che furono il passaggio delle carrozze di Palazzo Mazzarosa, che ospita anche il Bookshop con una vasta offerta di prodotti editoriali, spartiti, gadgets, cartoline, CD, DVD e altri souvenir dedicati al Maestro.
