Lucca boast an almost unequalled music tradition including composers such as: Nicolao Dorati, Cristoforo Christoforo Malvezzi, Francesco Barsanti, Gioseffo Guami, Francesco Geminiani, Luigi Boccherini, Alfredo Catalani and Giacomo Puccini. Such distinguished tradition derives from the fact that music events were regarded as an important element of political and social life, at the time when Lucca was the capital of a small independent State.
