Visit San Pelagio Castle, a historic residence with medieval origins, marked by its impressive 14th-century tower built by the Da Carrara family, Lords of Padua. Since the 18th century, it has belonged to the Counts Zaborra, who transformed it into an elegant Venetian Villa filled with both private and historic memories. During World War I, the castle grounds became an airfield. From here, on August 9, 1918, Italian poet and aviator Gabriele D’Annunzio took off for his legendary “Flight over Vienna,” dropping thousands of leaflets calling for peace. This ticket includes a guided tour of 45 minutes of the D'Annunzio Rooms, the private apartment where Gabriele D’Annunzio stayed while preparing for the Flight over Vienna. These rooms preserve personal memories of his life and flying exploits, allowing you to relive the story of this famous mission. Access to the D'Annunzio Rooms is only possible with this guided tour and cannot be visited on your own. The tour is conducted in Italian, but visitors who speak other languages will receive an English-language leaflet to follow along. With this admission ticket, you can also explore at your own pace using a paper map and multilingual audio guides: The Museum of Flight inside the castle, which retraces the milestones of humanity’s dream of flight through themed sections on great designers and aviators. Inside, you'll find detailed scale models of balloons, airships, seaplanes, airplanes, and more.
