A lovely 'mini-concert' -- about one hour long -- 2/3's of the pieces were Mozart -- which was fine with us. More

For many months during the year, there is a concert every evening, usually in San Giovanni church, featuring arias and duets from Puccini operas.

This is Puccini's birthplace and music is celebrated. Where else is there is an opportunity to go to a concert just about every evening ? Accessible and affordable (17 euro).

Absolutely no photographing allowed and they have enough staff to hover around you to make sure that you don't. There isn't a massive amount to see, nothing that you could buy to take away, so it was ok. More
