Our commitment for the conservation and enhancement of an Italian heritage

The Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane (A.D.S.I.) brings together the owners of historic properties throughout Italy, which are an important part of our cultural heritage. The historic houses are cultural assets protected by the state, which must encourage their conservation, and are entrusted to the responsibility of the owners. This is a vast and mixed heritage: houses, palaces, villas and castles, but also gardens and agricultural estates. They are spread throughout the country and about 80% of them are in rural or provincial locations. Each of these properties has a precise identity, unique in Europe, because of its history, cultural value and close links to its surrounding area.
