Andrea Bocelli and Bravo China July 21st 2011 at the Teatro del Silenzio Lajatico

April 5th, 2011

Hi everyone hot off the press I think this is as close as it gets to a Bocelli concert this year.

The Teatro del Silenzio and his Honorary President, Andrea Bocelli, have welcomed with enthusiasm the invitation from the extraordinary ambassador of the Chinese Popular Republic in Italy to guest “Bravo China.”

“Bravo China” is a show in which artists of Chinese international fame meet the main interpreters of the hosting country, All forms of art from “il bel canto” to dance, to pop music will meet in a spectacular event that creates a bond and an artistic interchange of the most important spheres of two incredibly distant countries, that the night of the Teatro del Silenzio will artistically unite.

Winter fun for family and Friends of tuscanrooms

February 27th, 2011

Hi everyone

The weather here in Bagni di Lucca is typical winter weather with temperatures of -6 at night reaching the dizzy hieghts of 7 degrees during the day. Today it rained most of the day but with temperatures like that it normally means if its raining here then it is snowing in the mountains of Abetone. Much to the delight of Charlotte ( Colette’s daughter) who came out last week hoping to get some skiing in.

Well her wish came true she spent two full days on the mountains with Col and friends of tuscanrooms with great weather and perfect ski conditions.We all had a great weekend. The pictures speak  for themselves.
