The lovely town of Lajatico, birthplace of the tenor Andrea Boccelli, is set in breathtaking countryside. The natural contours of the land have been used to create the Teatro del Silenzio where the singer holds a concert in July every year together with other internationally famous singers. This open air theatre, il Teatro del Silenzio, was built especially to host this annual event and hence its name. The quintessential Tuscan countryside around Lajatico offers superb views and beautifully restored properties.

The town is located in Valdera in Central Tuscany between Pisa and Florence, this colourful landscape of rolling hills dotted with medieval villages, castles and lanes flanked with tall dark green cypress trees epitomise the Tuscan landscape.
