The 34th edition is about to start
Saturday, March 21st and Sunday, March 22nd, 2026 the FAI Spring Days return throughout Italy, now in their 34th edition. The initiative, promoted by the FAI - Italian Environment Fund, is one of the most important events dedicated to promoting the country's cultural and landscape heritage.
Since 1993, the event has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, offering the opportunity to visit places often closed to the public and to rediscover artistic, historical, and naturalistic assets spread throughout the country.
The 2026 edition will once again feature hundreds of sites open to visitors, from north to south of the peninsula, thanks to the commitment of volunteers from the FAI Delegations and Groups. The program includes historic villas, castles, churches, cultural institutions, and natural areas, as well as places of production and craftsmanship, helping to provide a comprehensive picture of Italy's heritage, encompassing both well-known and lesser-known contexts.
The visits will be free of charge and represent not only an opportunity to enjoy culture, but also a concrete means of supporting the Foundation's activities, which has been committed to the protection and promotion of cultural and environmental heritage for over fifty years.
Among the distinctive elements of this edition, a series of special openings will be dedicated to the commemoration of the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi. The initiative aims to highlight his figure and spiritual and cultural legacy through thematic itineraries and places associated with him.
The FAI Spring Days thus confirm their role as a key event for the dissemination of culture and the promotion of greater awareness of shared heritage, engaging citizens, institutions, and local communities in broad collective participation.
