In preparation for resuming our activities, last month a group of FAI UK Trustees visited FAI headquarters in Milan and several properties in the surrounding area.

They had the opportunity to experience the variety of FAI holdings, including the ancient Monastery of Torba, the romantic Villa del Balbianello on Lake Como, the sophisticated urban Villa Necchi Campiglio in the centre of Milan and the finest example of marriage between contemporary art and 17th-century architecture at Villa Panza, Varese. Marco Magnifico, the Executive Vice President and Davide Usai, the Director General welcomed the group who also had the opportunity to meet key FAI personnel and experts involved in the management of each property.
