Here are some suggestions, collected here and there among the web, municipal sites and newspapers, on how to pass the bridge on April 25th in a relaxed, peaceful and contact with nature, weather permitting.

Weekend dedicated to the Earth

First of all, it is important to remember that, being April 22, the World Day dedicated to the Earth, there are many initiatives, excursions, workshops and concerts organized in various cities, parks and natural places of the Bel Paese, on that day, but not only. Indeed, they are often prolonged throughout the bridge on April 25th.

Just tune in to the official Earth Day website and peek at the dedicated page, a page that records the events in the area. Sometimes, unexpectedly, really interesting things to do and discover are just around the corner!

Trekking in Tuscia

La Tuscia, what a land rich in history. Among the disappearing ghost towns, ancient villages and hills full of peonies, the NewTuscia newspaper publishes an event that takes place in Calcata, a village that rises in the heart of the Agro Falisco, a spectacular scenery offered by the Valle del Treja .

Here, for the public holiday on Monday 25th April, a guided tour of the journey through the history of the Treja river valley is planned, where the park of the same name develops, a 10 km trek to be covered in about 6 hours tells the slow but inexorable geological changes that characterize a river and volcanic territory.

On board the Piave valley steam train

On the 24th and 25th April the Dolomites train leaves from Treviso, a glorious and historic 740 steam locomotive with five "hundred-door" wagons; he arrives in Longarone traveling through the beautiful Dolomite landscapes of Feltre, Belluno and Ponte nelle Alpi; the return race, instead, passes through Vittorio Veneto and Conegliano, covering a total of 150km.

Suggestive and full of emotions, this tour is for those who want to enjoy the beauty of the Veneto region and discover the Piave valley in absolute relaxation, without having to queue at the toll booth.

Pian di Spagna flowers

Yellow irises and buttercups, white water lilies and nannufari along the lakes and canals, but also pristine valleys, meadows and woods: that's what you can admire in an area called Pian di Spagna, which extends north of Lake Como, where they join the Valtellina and the Valchiavenna, in a frame that as a background the chain of the Alps.

During the walk there are also agricultural lands, rows of poplars, reed beds, which characterize the landscape of the Reserve. It is also possible to make the trip with bicycles that can be hired inside the Park of Pian di Spagna, on whose site many other information is recovered.

Succulent plants in the botanical garden of Favara

The naturalistic oasis of Favara, in the province of Agrigento, is home to the Garden Cactus, a botanical garden located a few kilometers from the Valley of the Temples and the sea, with as many as 30 thousand cacti, with the most diverse shapes and species from all over the world, which make it one of the most important collections in Italy.

Here you can also sleep: the Relais in the oasis is composed of two apartments and four rooms.

Celebrating the three hundred years of the donkey trail

As part of the Superga Park Tour event, recorded on the Parks.it portal, and organized by the Ente Parco del Po and Collina Torinese, the Friends of the Paths of San Mauro and Oltre propose to young and old, donkeys and mules, a walk along the Sentiero degli Asini on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of its opening, in 1716, by the workers and their donkeys and mules during the lowering of the Collina di Superga for the laying of the first stone of the Basilica.

Drink with the Alpini

In San Sebastiano da Po, in the province of Turin, on April 25th the Alpine Group San Sebastiano Po thought of a pleasant and suggestive way to celebrate the Liberation Day with the whole family thanks to a free walk that will start at 8.45 from the square in front of the Cimitero della Pieve.

Participants will walk up to the Animal Oasis of Bric Carrassa and then continue towards Casalborgone and reach the ancient church of Sant'Andrea di Pinerano. After a stop with an optional lunch based on Bollito misto alla piemontese, the day will end before the Shrine of the Cemetery of the Pieve for a brief memorial ceremony to celebrate April 25th.

And if it rains in Rome and Milan?

In Rome there is already a full house for the classic visit to the Garden of Ninfa ; but do not despair, between the rose garden of the city that opens its doors and the fun and brewery Egeria Village with its street food, we know what to do if it really rains?

Originality is the watchword. For those who stay in the city, in Rome there is a very unique exhibition, unique in its kind, dedicated to Barbie, Barbie the Icon at the Vittoriano . For those who do not like the genre, next to that dedicated to Mucha 's Art Nouveau .

While in Milan the advice is to go and enjoy the exhibition by the Spanish Joan Mirò, at the museum of cultures, in the Tortona area.
