Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane

The Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane (A.D.S.I.) is an Italian association that brings together owners of historic properties throughout Italy, which represent an important component of the country's cultural heritage. Historic residences are cultural assets protected by the State, which must promote their conservation, and they are entrusted to the responsibility of their owners. This heritage is vast and heterogeneous: houses and palaces, villas and castles, as well as gardens and agricultural estates. They are distributed throughout the country and almost 80% are located in the countryside or in the provinces. Each of these assets has a precise identity, unique in Europe, for its history, its cultural value and its close link with its reference territory.
