Every year, the Italian Ministry of cultural heritage and activities and tourism takes part in the European Heritage Days, a project promoted since 1991 by the European Council and by the European Commission, with the aim of improving and encouraging dialogue and exchange between European countries, within a cultural sphere.

 

The project is traditionally adhered to by numerous non-state cultural places, including civic museums, municipalities, galleries, foundations and private associations, building up an extremely varied cultural offering, with a calendar that often reaches almost a thousand events.
European Heritage Days 2017 will be celebrated in Italy, on 23rd and 24th September, with the theme Culture and Nature. There will be special weekend openings of several venues and access fee of 1 euro.
