Holiday apartment in Fauglia – art, history and local festivals

Holiday apartment in Fauglia: art and history

Fauglia is considered a rural village surrounded by gently rolling hills, wheat fields and hay bales. This clear rural setting combines with art, history, festivals and regional products. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Fauglia, these focal points can help you decide whether you would like to place particular emphasis on culture, traditional events or culinary discoveries during your stay.

The Museo Giorgio Kienerk houses a publicly accessible collection of works by Giorgio Kienerk, donated to the municipality of Fauglia by his daughter Vittoria. The Chiesa di San Lorenzo adds a historical note: it was first mentioned in 1251, destroyed by the earthquake of 1846 and rebuilt shortly afterwards.

Two villas also lead to special chapters in the village’s history. Villa Trovarsi in Fauglia was inhabited by the actress Marta Abba. Marta Abba was closely associated with the dramatist and writer Luigi Pirandello. Villa Kienerk is one of the two properties located there that recall the Macchiaioli movement, which was particularly active during the second half of the 19th century.

Festivals and events in Fauglia

The Festa Paesana is an annual tradition in Fauglia and takes place on the first Friday of August each year. Scudo di Faullia is also a traditional event in Fauglia; the edition on 20 June was the 32nd. Another example was the “Salotto Francese” concert at the Chiesa Vecchia di San Lorenzo. The church was a venue as part of the “I concerti della Chiesa Vecchia” series; the concert was scheduled to take place on 28 August at 9:30 p.m.

Local products and DOC wine

Il Gremigno is a sociable street food event in Fauglia. The edition on 29 August at 8:00 p.m. was the third; all proceeds were donated to a charitable cause. Fauglia is partly within the production area of Bianco Pisano di San Torpè DOC wine. As part of an event at Villa Kienerk, a tasting of local products and cheese from the Busti family was scheduled to take place at around 5:30 p.m.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Fauglia, you can use these topics as personal points of reference: art and architectural history, scheduled festivals or food and wine each place a different emphasis on planning the trip. If you are travelling with children of different ages or with varied interests, this makes it easier to decide which discoveries should take up the most space during your shared stay. The rural setting provides the clear framework within which Fauglia’s cultural, festive and culinary facets can be explored.
