Until 11 January 2026, don’t miss the traditional Christmas celebrations at Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan with The Christmas table at Villa Necchi designed by Guido Andloviz.

The exhibition, on display until 6 January 2026 in the historic Negozio Olivetti in Piazza San Marco in Venice, marks the return of Spanish artist Jaume Plensa to the lagoon city and traces the evolution of his glass creations, exploring his growing personal dialogue with the material to create contemplative portraits that inspire deep reflection.

FAI has opened the Case Montana at the Giardino della Kolymbethra: traditional farm buildings, brought back from ruin, bearing witness to centuries of rural civilisation that shaped and cared for the landscape of the Valley of the Temples.

In 2025, FAI marked its first fifty years with institutional events, new openings and important recognitions.

In 2025, FAI will celebrate fifty years since its foundation and, with four inaugurations already completed and a fifth scheduled for November, it renews its commitment to preserving and restoring places of identity to the country, authentic witnesses to our history and culture.

Villa in Varese is hosting “Un altro sguardo. Works from the Gemma Testa Collection” until 16 November 2025, an exhibition on collecting as an expression of thought and identity, as a tool for investigation, a key to understanding the present and a cultural practice with educational value.

The agricultural landscape of the Valley of the Temples has been included in the Italian Ministry of Agriculture’s National Register of ‘Rural Landscapes of Historical Interest’: a valuable recognition for the protection and enhancement of this unique area, guardian of a thousand-year-old agricultural system.

Eight FAI properties have received Tripadvisor’s 2025 Travellers’ Choice Awards, placing them among the top 10% of the world’s most popular destinations based on visitor reviews.

Thanks to an agreement with the Cinque Terre National Park, Podere Lovara on Punta Mesco has become an environmental education centre. It offers hikers a chance to rest in a typical rural house, enjoy refreshments made from local products, and experience an immersive video story dedicated to the history of the landscape.

FAI has restored, enhanced, and opened to the public the Garden of Villa Rezzola in Lerici, one of the most exquisite English gardens in eastern Liguria, overlooking the stunning Gulf of Poets.
