Here we are in the park of @villapanza in Varese: a 33,000 square metre historic garden that is a treasure trove of biodiversity.

A worldwide known centre for contemporary art, Villa Panza dates back to the 18th century, when Marquis Paolo Antonio Menafoglio chose the top of Biumo Hill, in the city of Varese, as the ideal place to build his country residence.

On the eastern Ligurian Riviera, one finds a small

On the eastern Ligurian Riviera, one finds a small silent world suspended in time, reflecting the life and interests of a typical bourgeois family of the late 19th century.

The charm of @fai_casa_carbone does not lie so much in the details of a good painting or in the high quality of the furnishings, but rather in the harmonious rendering of the ensemble of the multiple elements that compose it and that become the mirror of the taste and personality of the owners of the house, but also of an era culturally worthy of being preserved and handed down.

5 ideas for a Tuscan weekend with FAI & FAI UK Car

5 ideas for a Tuscan weekend with FAI & FAI UK Card 👈

📍 Brolio Castle, Gaiole in Chianti (SI): visit a castle that dominates the Chianti hills and tells a story that begins in the early Middle Ages.
📍 Storico Giardino Garzoni e Parco di Pinocchio, Collodi (PT): two stops in one, to immerse yourself in the greenery and recall the adventures of the famous novel, through the works of great 20th-century artists.
📍 Puccini Museum - Casa Natale, Lucca: retrace the notes of Giacomo Puccini. The birthplace houses precious objects of the composer, such as the Steinway & Sons piano with which he composed many of his works.
📍Parco delle Sculture del Chianti (SI): discover an open-air museum with contemporary installations. A park where the union between art and nature is total.
📍 In San Gimignano, @torrecasacampatelli awaits you - a FAI property that evokes the life of the Tuscan bourgeoisie at the end of the 19th century against the backdrop of the millenary history of the village.

✅Save this post for your time in Italy and remember that with the FAI & FAI UK Card, not only do you get free entry to the Foundation's properties, but you are entitled to a reduced ticket for many experiences throughout Italy.

@faiscuola - Here are a few snapshots of the visit of 100 students to Monte Fontana Secca, a @fondoambiente property in the Monte Grappa Massif.

The guided itinerary, which took place last month thanks to @fondoambiente and the Insilva group of experts, and which will be repeated next spring, led children and teenagers through the Alta Via degli Eroi (High Heroes' Route) to let them experience the mountain and raise their awareness of the issues of its repopulation and protection, biodiversity conservation and agroecology.

The project "The Monte Grappa Massif and Monte Fontana Secca, the mountain of the New Heroes. An environmental education itinerary among pastures, woods and trenches', is realised thanks to the support of the Fondazione Cariverona.
