With the group of volunteers, on whom I have a lot of confidence, we will continue to do well in the interest of the FAI’s values.

Finally, I would like to thank those who preceded me and the regional and national leaders of the Foundation, who placed their trust in me.”
The FAI – Italian Environmental Fund ETS is a non-profit foundation founded in 1975, on the model of the National Trust, with the aim of protecting and enhancing the Italian historical, artistic and landscape heritage. The Foundation’s main activity is to take care of the special places received as a donation, as an inheritance or under management: woods and coasts, parks and gardens, castles and historic homes, villas and abbeys, but also small assets with a high identity value . FAI’s desire is for these places to be increasingly active as levers in the cultural, social and economic contexts in which they are inserted, real centers of relationships, communities which, thanks to the widespread and structured presence of volunteers, seek continuous dialogue with the territory. An increasingly close relationship between places and people, possible also thanks to the widespread presence of volunteer delegations throughout the national territory.
The FAI in Terniinitially led by architect Silvia Giani, has been present for almost 20 years and boasts an important past, linked to multiple national and local initiatives, which have received great appreciation from the public and citizens. The team of volunteers has grown numerically over time and has always been animated by a strong civic sense, passion and the firm belief that there is a moral obligation to protect and enhance the history and artistic and natural heritage of our country .
