FAI - Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano, operates on behalf of everyone who values Italy’s cultural heritage.

FAI acquires - through donation, bequest, conservation easement, or purchase - properties of historical, artistic, or environmental importance, and works to ensure their long-term safety through a scrupulous policy of protection.

FAI owns historic homes, villas, castles, parks, and monasteries; many of these buildings feature significant frescoes, art collections, libraries, and gardens, as well as properties of great beauty and environmental importance in some of the loveliest parts of Italy.

FAI brings its treasures back to life, by offering a rich variety of cultural and education events at its properties, encompassing everything from music, theater and art exhibits to gardening, sports and outdoor activities.

FAI invites the public to visit our properties; part of our mission is to acquaint the public with these beautiful landmarks.
