라자티코‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 천연기념물

Great place to fill up water bottles and also great water.

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.

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.

Beautiful waterfalls reachable via a simple single trek only in small stretches impractical by bike (just get off). The photos (mine) unfortunately do not do justice .... The water descends in several balsi from a height of a few tens of meters to the pool below with a show that is worth a visit.

Super fresh drinking water. Ideal for a refill!

Before our visit it had not rained for 3 months, so there was no running water or even waterfalls. But you could follow the whole course up the gorge and climb great
