Five days to get to know the history of Friuli Venezia Giulia, visiting and experiencing the rich artistic and architectural heritage of the region that often remains hidden behind hedges and gates.
From Friday 21 to Tuesday 25 April, the first edition of the Festival of Historical Residences organised by ADSI FVG (Association of Historical Residences), thanks to the owners’ initiative, will make villas, houses and parks visitable and involve public in rich programme of events: tastings, concerts, book presentations, show cooking.
Five days with a calendar of over 30 events and a small ‘festival within a festival’ dedicated to chamber music by Sergio Gaggia Association with six different concerts.

18 private residences will open their doors: it will be the owners to act as guides and ciceroni to tell not only its history and architectural features, but also anecdotes and curiosities of the places that have been handed down through generations.
