Italy launches a nationwide program of cultural events to mark the 2023 edition of European Heritage Days on the weekend of 23-24 September, which includes guided tours in the Miramare Castle and Basilica di Aquileia in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Under the theme Patrimonio InVita, the two-day event includes special initiatives at state-run museums, galleries, libraries and archeological sites, some of which are usually difficult to visit.
Many of the sites will also stay open late on 23 September with a symbolic entry fee of €1 which will go towards the restoration of flood-damaged heritage sites in Italy’s northern Emilia-Romagna region.
In Friuli Venezia Giulia the program of visits and guided tours is concentrated in Aquileia, from sunrise equinox visits to the basilica to the late night guided tours.
In Trieste, the Miramare Castle will offer visits of the park and castle.
Held annually across Europe since 1991, the European Heritage Days initiative is designed to emphasize the common cultural heritage shared between Europeans.
For detail of events see culture ministry website and the European Heritage Days website.
