The guided tuor includes only the d'Annunzio Rooms.
The d'Annunzio Rooms
A guided tour of the rooms where Gabriele d’Annunzio stayed during his time at San Pelagio castle, preparing for the Flight Over Vienna on 9 August 1918: a propaganda mission involving releasing thousands of leaflets over the Austrian capital, an idea devised by d'Annunzio. The rooms have been restored using archive sources and are fully open to visitors. They contain many mementos of the life and times of the soldier poet, along with furniture from the Zaborra family who have owned the castle since 1752.
Museum of Flight
San Pelagio castle, the only museum of its kind in Europe which tells the incredible story of humanity’s greatest achievement: flight! There are numerous sections dedicated subjects such as mythology, the first attempts at flight, the development of hot air balloons, aeroplanes, seaplanes and helicopters.
Parco delle Rose and the Mazes
The beautiful historic gardens at San Pelagio castle, an enchanting place full of different types of plants where the air is filled with the scent of thousands of roses which, particularly in May, make this a spectacular pace to visit. Across three hectares of the estate include all of the three typical elements of Veneto villas: monumental gardens, secret gardens, vegetable gardens, mazes, fish ponds and the original icebox.
