FAI Autumn Days in the province of Pavia
October 11–12, 2025 Two days to discover and support Italy’s cultural treasures
On Saturday, October 11, and Sunday, October 12, 2025, the FAI – Italian National Trust will open to the public a variety of artistic, historical, and natural sites — unusual and fascinating places that are often little-known or usually inaccessible.
This special weekend organized by FAI offers the perfect opportunity to explore historic palaces, villas, churches, and art collections, as well as craft workshops, examples of industrial archaeology, active production sites, village itineraries, and natural areas such as urban parks and botanical gardens. Some openings will be dedicated to sustainability and environmental awareness.
Visits are open with a voluntary donation, and the event is also a great occasion to renew or sign up for a FAI membership for the coming year.
