Giornate FAI di Primavera
Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26, 2023
The
FAI (Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano) is a sort of National Trust of Italy, a private foundation allowing old mansions and buildings of historical importance - whose maintenance the owners can no longer afford - to be still open to the public.
.:. Every year, as a promotion for their activity, the FAI organizes the "Giornate FAI di Primavera" or FAI Spring Days, an open door weekend throughout Italy. Hundreds of fascinating places otherwise closed to the public, or usually difficult to enter, can be exceptionally visited.
.:. In Milan you can visit this year, among others, the frescoes by Giambattista Tiepolo at
Palazzo Clerici, the headquarters of the
Archbishopric (unfortunately sold out) aside the cathedral, and the
San Siro Race Course. Entrance to some of the buildings is restricted to FAI members, but you can get your membership at the moment.
.:. The
dedicated web pages are in Italian only.
