ラヤーティコのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

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.

Viewpoint in the old town of Orciatico. Beautiful panorama over the Tuscan plain.

the Rocca di Pietracassia, reachable only on foot or by bike. The view from up there is very beautiful. I crossed the Miemo forest to reach Montecatini V.C. At this point you cannot cross due to a closed gate, the passage is reserved for authorized people ... even further ahead there is another closed gate. Despite the very windy day it was a nice tour.

history intertwines with views

Open-air theater in an impressive location. The view completes the experience.

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.

Nice ride to the theater of silence and up to the Rocca
