SUNDAYS AT
VILLAS, PALACES and CASTLES

It was in 2018 that thirteen owners of private historical residences located in and around the Bergamo region decided to collaborate together for a series of cultural ventures. We decided to open up our family- and privately-owned homes to the public for guided tours on Sundays during the months of April and May, heralding the introduction of the “Sunday Visits at Villas, Palaces and Castles” initiative. Our numbers have increased since 2022, when we decided to include some residences from neighbouring provinces. There are now eighteen in total: fifteen in the Bergamo area, two around Brescia and one in Lecco. After the resounding success of the previous years, 2025 sees the advent of our eighth anniversary! We will be proposing a rich calendar of events, organising visits on eight separate Sundays, 4 in May and 4 in October.

In the majority of cases, it will be the owners themselves who will accompany you on a visit that will take you back in time to discover the history of the many generations who have dwelled in their homes. Starting this year, we are introducing the Historic Homes Passport. Visitors will be able to collect stamps at each of the homes they visit and will receive a special gift from us upon completing their collection! 

For the complete programme of the events to be held in 2025, please consult the CALENDAR OF OPEN DAYS page of this website.
