    Hiking

    To mark the 20th anniversary of the town twinning between Bayreuth and La Spezia, a bronze sculpture by Richard Wagner now adorns La Spezia Square.

    The inspiration for Rheingold came from La Spezia:
    There are good reasons why La Spezia is now a twin city of Bayreuth.
    Although the port city on the east coast of Liguria was extensively and representatively redesigned in 1860, one should remember that it was here, we trust his report, that Richard Wagner was inspired to create the revolutionary prelude to Rheingold. On September 4, 1853, he traveled from Genoa by steamship to lie down sick, exhausted from sea travel.

    Hiking

    The city of Bayreuth and La Spezia have been friends for years. La Spezia presented Bayreuth with a Richard Wagner sculpture. Of course there is also one in La Spezia. Why? Because the original idea for the musical beginning of the Ring des Nibelungen arose in La Spezia, and he then conceived the Rheingold prelude.
