FAI Autumn Days 2021: 600 Hidden Sites Open Across Italy
The 10th edition of FAI Autumn Days is set for October 16-17, 2021, featuring 600 locations across 300 cities in Italy. More than 5,000 volunteers and delegates will help the public access these culturally important sites. This year, in honor of the Unknown Soldier's centenary, over 40 sites from the Ministry of Defence will be included, such as the Casino del Bel Respiro in Rome and Villa Salviati in Florence. Awareness visits will take place in regions impacted by last summer's wildfires. The event wraps up Rai Awareness Week (October 11-17) and receives backing from the European Commission and the Ministry of Culture. Key openings include Palazzo Esercito, Nunziatella Military School, and the ex-Ministeri Palace in Palermo.
