This event is part of the project Matera 2026 Capitale Mediterranea della Cultura e del Dialogo

Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 March 2026 will mark the 34th edition of the FAI Spring Days, Italy’s nationwide event that, since 1993, has invited hundreds of thousands of people to rediscover the cultural and natural heritage of the cities and regions where they live during the first weekend of spring.

The initiative celebrates a rich heritage of well-known and hidden artistic and natural treasures, as well as the unique stories, traditions and knowledge preserved and renewed by the communities that safeguard them. Every year, FAI dedicates this collective celebration to promoting awareness, appreciation and protection of this shared heritage, in line with the educational mission the Foundation has pursued for more than fifty years.
