    Serenade Your Sweetheart | Grand Universe Lucca, Lucca, Italy

    Grand Universe Digital

    This Valentine’s Day, have an Italian classical composer serenade your significant other with a customized prelude. Located in the under-the-radar, yet coveted city of Lucca and right across from the Teatro, sits the new Grand Universe Lucca, a magnificently restored Italian ‘palazzo’ that offers one of the most unique, bucket-list worthy romantic experiences — having your very own 'Prelude of Existence' written by a classical composer. (In musical terms, a Prelude is an introductory piece of music, most commonly an orchestral opening to an act of an opera.) This curated experience takes place in the Symphony Lounge, where the hotel’s classical composer will unlock your very own theme song based off of a brief questionnaire that identifies your key personality traits (romantic, dynamic, seductive, etc). While the composer prepares the Prelude, couples can drink and eat from a selection of Italy’s best coffees, teas and pastries. Written in musical notes and delivered on a music sheet of paper, the Prelude can be specially packaged inside a 'time capsule'— tied with a silk ribbon and tucked away inside a Tuscan leather box — to cherish (and perhaps be inspired to learn to play it) for years to come.
