On Saturday, March 21st and Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, the 34th edition of the FAI Spring Days returns throughout Italy and Rome, the major street event, held since 1993, that has given hundreds of thousands of Italians the opportunity to reclaim the cultural and landscape heritage of their cities and communities during the first weekend of spring. This heritage is comprised of more or less well-known artistic and natural treasures, as well as unique stories, traditions, and knowledge passed down and renewed by the communities that preserve them. Each year, FAI dedicates this "collective celebration" to these treasures, designed to promote their knowledge, care, and protection, in keeping with the educational mission the Foundation has pursued for over fifty years.
The initiative includes the extraordinary opening, with free-to-attend visits, of 780 sites across 400 cities. The event is one of the main tools through which the Foundation, active since 1975, advances its mission of education, understanding and protecting cultural heritage, with the aim of promoting its preservation. From the first edition to 2025, the FAI Spring Days have attracted nearly 13.5 million visitors, allowing over 17,000 sites in 7,606 Italian cities to be opened.
In Rome in particular, the special openings planned for this edition include numerous buildings of particular historical and architectural interest that are usually closed to the public, such as the Ministry of Education and Merit Palace, designed by Cesare Bazzani in 1912, and the Supreme Court of Cassation in the Palace of Justice, built between 1888 and 1910 to a design by architect Guglielmo Calderini. Also noteworthy is the Palazzo della Cancelleria, one of the first examples of Renaissance architecture in Rome and today home to ecclesiastical courts such as the Sacred Rota.
