ペッチョリの天然記念物・トップ8

The Teatro del Silenzio is an open-air amphitheater created in 2006 thanks to Andrea Bocelli, originally from Lajatico, who convinced the municipality to create this evocative space immersed in the hilly landscape. The natural scenography is enriched by blocks of Tuscan travertine, while the stalls, dismantled during periods of inactivity, give way to an enchanting artificial lake. A unique place, where art and nature merge in a silence full of emotion.

Nice place. Visit in spring or early summer. In full summer possibly no water

the beauty of the Tuscan landscape together with the natural phenomena of the sulphurous spas with spontaneous springs in the woods, the Mediterranean scrub, the cave where Maurizio spent 13 years of his life as a hermit at the beginning of the 1900s, make this ring an interesting, beautiful and feasible excursion from everyone

Listen to the silence

The building, inaugurated on 27 July 2006, was erected by will of the popular singer Andrea Bocelli originally from this country. According to the original idea, the structure was created to be assembled and host only one show a year (hence the name "Teatro del Silenzio"). The construction consists of a circular "stage" with a radius of a few meters in the center of which stands a different scenography every year: the most famous, which has become the symbol of the Theater itself, is an imposing sculpture depicting a human face created by the Polish sculptor Igor Mitoraj for the scenography of a Manon Lescaut and subsequently donated by the sculptor to the foundation of the theatre. Some blocks of Tuscan travertine were placed as a backdrop to the stage. On days when the theater is not in operation, the stalls are completely dismantled and the stage is transformed into an artificial lake. From here comes the definition of Theater of Silence, more precisely that place in the territory of the Municipality of Lajatico characterized by hills which, with (necessary) earthmoving interventions, was created, or rather simulated, as a natural Theater thus conceived.
