FAI Autumn Days

On 10 and 11 October, one of the most eagerly awaited events celebrating Italy’s cultural heritage returns: the FAI Autumn Days. Across Italy, more than 1,000 places can be visited, including usually inaccessible government buildings, archaeological sites, villages preserving ancient traditions, abandoned seaside colonies, sports and industrial sites, as well as churches and monuments.

Italy is home to an invaluable historical and cultural heritage, part of which can be discovered precisely on these special occasions. The FAI Autumn Days are a much-loved event that gives visitors the opportunity to discover or rediscover some of the most fascinating and hidden places in the country.

In the Belluno area and Trentino-Alto Adige, numerous places will open their doors to the public during the FAI Autumn Days. Among them are special openings offering the chance to discover lesser-known corners, historic residences, artistic treasures and fascinating landscapes that are normally not accessible to the public.
