Castello di San Pelagio - Museo del Volo
San Pelagio Castle is located in the municipality of Due Carrare, the ancestral home of the famous Carraresi family, lords of Padua from 1318 to 1405. Only the characteristic crenellated tower remains intact of the ancient medieval castle, while the residential area was converted into a villa around 1775 by the Zaborra counts, who still own it today. Also known as Villa Zaborra, the castle was converted into a museum in 1980 and also offers event spaces and services, including a renowned restaurant and six conference rooms. The castle is also surrounded by a beautiful park divided into the main garden, a secret garden, a brolo, centuries-old hornbeam trees, a fish pond, and an ice house. The gardens are dominated by splendid English roses, along with a fascinating Roman-era thermal pool, discovered during restoration work.

Itinerary of the D'Annunzian Rooms
Within these walls, in the autumn of 1917, Gabriele d'Annunzio found his home — poet, aviator, aesthete, and inspirer of men. From this castle, on the airfield set up in the surrounding grounds, the Flight over Vienna was born and took shape: a propagandistic and symbolic undertaking that on August 9, 1918, led eleven Italian aircraft to fly over the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, dropping four hundred thousand leaflets over the heart of the enemy. Through the rooms that d'Annunzio once inhabited, you will discover not only the story of an extraordinary military feat, but also an intimate portrait of a brilliant and contradictory man. The visit winds through the bedroom, the private sitting room, the dining room, and the study, where every object, every photograph, every memento tells a fragment of this extraordinary story.
