It first became a popular hit in the summer of 1963 for the American girl group The Chiffons, who reached the top five on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart. In 1980, King covered her own song and charted at number 12 on the Hot 100 with her version. The song has subsequently been covered by numerous artists over the years. Goffin and King were inspired by the title of the aria "Un bel di vedremo" from the Puccini opera "Madama Butterfly". Intended for
Giacomo Puccini he had acquired land and built a villa on the lake, now known as the "Villa Museo Puccini." He lived there until 1921, when pollution produced by peat works on the lake forced him to move to Viareggio, a few kilometres north. After his death, a mausoleum was created in the Villa Puccini and the composer is buried there in the chapel, along with his wife and son who died later. The Villa Museo was owned by his granddaughter, Simonetta Puccini, until her death, and is open to the public. An annual Festival Puccini is held at Torre del Lago.
