Help Italy
stay beautiful

FAI presents “Nel tempo“, an exhibition that, through fifty-nine works by twenty-three artists from the Panza di Biumo Collection, explores one of the most mysterious and complex subjects in our lives: time.

On June 23rd, 2023, FAI announced the donation of the Convento di San Bernardino – Casa Olivetti* in Ivrea. One year on, the Foundation is currently carrying out a wide-ranging campaign of studies and surveys on the entire complex in order to better direct the planning and valorisation choices for the asset.

The splendid stately home overlooking the Golfo dei Poeti is one of the FAI properties currently under restoration, the project for which FAI UK is raising funds this year. It is one of the most challenging sites in 2024 on which our team of architects in the Restoration and Conservation Office has been working for months.

In 2023, more than one hundred restoration, functional adaptation, conservation and maintenance works were carried out on FAI properties. These works varied greatly in type and size, and saw us directly involved on many fronts and in different parts of the country.

A new online catalogue reveals the heritage held within the Beni: paintings, furniture and objects are now just a click away.
