JOIN FUN HAPPENINGS FOR A ONCE IN A LIFETIME ITALY TOUR & ANDREA BOCELLI CONCERT

FUN HAPPENINGS TRAVEL GROUP PRESENTS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME TOUR TO NORTHERN ITALY WITH AN INTIMATE ANDREA BOCELLI CONCERT! JULY 11 - 24, 2025

FUN HAPPENINGS TRAVEL GROUP IS VISITING ITALY’S NORTHERN LAKE REGION, CINQUE TERRE FOR 2 NIGHTS, FLORENCE & TUSCANY WITH AN INTIMATE ANDREA BOCELLI CONCERT AND VIP PRE-CONCERT EXPERIENCE AT THE BOCELLI FAMILY-OWNED FARMHOUSE & WINERY! THIS IS GOING TO BE AN AMAZING TRIP OF A LIFETIME!

2025's Teatro del Silencio Concert marks the 20th Anniversary of his hometown concert in Lajatico Tuscany... Similar to the same concert in 2024, marked the 30th Anniversary of his career...

The 20th Anniversary 2025 Teatro del Silencio concert is expected to bring a similar line-up of celebrity guests to join Andrea Bocelli on stage.... These celebrity guests have not been announced yet for 2025, but I have been promised by the Bocelli family, they will be just as spectacular as the 2024 concert guests.

You will be in awe of the amazing experience we have planned on the day of the Bocelli concert. Fun Happenings Travel Group is working closely with the Bocelli family and Winery in Lajatico Tuscany to include an Amazing VIP Pre-concert Experience for our group!

The special afternoon includes a Welcome Meet & Greet with Bocelli family members, a wine tasting led by Alessio Bocelli (nephew of Andrea) held in the vineyards and an authentic 4-course Tuscan dinner, before our group is escorted to our VIP "POLTRONA" SEATS AT THE FAMOUS Andrea Bocelli Teatro del Silenzio concert in his hometown Amphitheater. FYI: The value of Bocelli concert tickets and invite-only VIP Pre-concert experience is valued at $1000 per person and is fully included with our trip package… no extra cost whatsoever!

Get ready for a Tour of Italy like never before! This tour is not your average cookie-cutter tour purchased from an American Tour company, as this tour was customized exclusively for Fun Happenings Travel Group and includes unique and memorable life-changing experiences! Our group will visit and explore so much over 13 days and we don't travel far each day. We are focusing on 4 regions in Italy with 3 Nights on Lake Maggiore, 2 Nights in La Spezia- the gateway to Cinque Terre, 4 Nights in Florence and ending with 3 nights in a Tuscan Villa... We begin in Milan and fly out of Florence, so no backtracking and minimal coach driving between the 4 regions we are visiting!
