FAI Fall Days 2024 will be held on October 12 and 13, marking the 13th edition of this important event dedicated to Italy’s cultural heritage and landscape. Organized by the Fondo Ambiente Italiano (FAI), these days will offer the opportunity to visit 700 extraordinary places in 360 cities, many of which are usually inaccessible to the public. The initiative is part of the “October of FAI” fundraising campaign, active throughout the month.
How do the Fai Days work?
Participants will be able to explore a wide selection of sites, including historic palaces, villas, churches, castles, museums, art collections, archaeological areas and artisan workshops. Village tours and routes to nature areas, urban parks, botanical gardens and historic gardens will be available. The tours will be animated by FAI Youth Groups and volunteers from the Foundation’s Territorial Network.
Ways to Participate
The full list of open places and how to participate are available on FAI’s official website, and during the visit you can support the Fund’s mission with a donation.
