The heritage of Italian history, art and nature
The heritage of Italian history, art and nature is the star of the weekend. Available to visit are not only monuments of recognised value, but also unpublished sites and unknown landscapes. No matter how well-known, their importance in terms of culture, history and traditions, tells the identity of Italy.
Villas, churches, historic buildings, castles, museums and archaeological areas will be open for visits. In addition, explore examples of industrial archeology, art collections, libraries, civil and military buildings, workplaces and artisan workshops .
Nature is not ignored with itineraries in the villages and visits to naturalistic areas, urban parks, botanical gardens and historic gardens.
The event is also an important fundraising event. For this reason, visitors are asked to consider a donation from €3 to support FAI’s mission and activities.
