A rich program of initiatives on the occasion of the handover of the Oscar del Cicloturismo (Cycle Tourism Oscar), the annual award given to green cycleways that promote sustainable tourism on two wheels. Lucca and Tuscany won this award in 2023 with the Giacomo Puccini cycle-pedestrian route, a 51-kilometer route that links Lucca and Versilia to Viareggio and Lake Massacciucoli to retrace the places of the great world-famous composer from Lucca.

The Ciclopedonale Puccini is a cycle path with music because dedicated signage provides access, via QR code, to musical accompaniment during the ride and to listen to suggested symphonies at selected points from Lucca arriving at the Lipu Oasis nature reserve and Villa Puccini where the composer spent many years of his life.

From May 30 to June 1, the city will be a protagonist on the theme of cycle tourism and the most beautiful greenways for bicycle lovers  meetings reserved for industry professionals and bike forums and events open to the public.
