A day in the open air immersed in the olive-growing landscape, rediscovering the value of conviviality and being together while discovering evocative and lesser-known places. Participants will be involved in various activities such as educational workshops, tasting courses, storytelling with experts (olive growers, millers, agronomists, historians), poetry readings on the theme of oil, dance performances and plays.
There will also be numerous events for children, young people and families such as Spoleto in Gioco (21 May), an entire day dedicated to playful workshop activities for children and young people in Piazza Garibaldi, Corso Garibaldi, Cantiere Oberdan, Villa Redenta Park, Piazzetta dell’Erba and the San Nicolò Monumental Complex.

After last year’s extraordinary success, the second edition of Tulipark Spoleto will start on April 6. The event, which will last about four weeks, will be held in Baiano di Spoleto at Villa Galileo under the patronage of the municipality.
The complex that will once again host the event is rich in history. The Villa, in fact, welcomed a group of Dutch scientists who were followers of heliocentrism. The scientist par excellence who stayed in this mansion was Galileo Galilei. It is in honour of this great Italian pride that the Villa is so named.
TuliPark is the first festival of the land of Holland in Italy, now in its second edition in Umbria to introduce the fascinating world of tulips.
For this new edition, the park will expand its offer by creating a scenario coloured by more than 120,000 tulips, cultivated in a field of about 15,000 square metres, enriched by a windmill and a fantastic Dutch plinth, precisely to make visitors relive the wonders of the Netherlands, on Umbrian soil.
New attractions will be present: in addition to the tulips, a themed giant swing will be installed, a giant deckchair from where you can admire the tulips and a golden circle where you can take your selfies. In addition, thanks to the patronage of the Municipality of Spoleto, every Wednesday from 2 to 6 p.m., kids will be able to participate in workshops where they can create origami in the shape of tulips.
The initiative is aimed at an audience of all ages, photography lovers, nature and flower lovers, who will be able to relax and enjoy the scent and colours of tulips.
The innovative idea accompanying the Tulipark is definitely the You Pick formula. In fact, visitors will have the opportunity to pick their own bouquet of tulips directly from the field, creating their own composition of colours.
Food and drinks will be available in the refreshment area or in the relaxation area where you can relax or have a family picnic.
The Tulipark will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It will be possible to reach the park by car by typing ‘Tulipark Spoleto’ directly into Google Maps. For those reaching the park by their own vehicle, a large free parking area is available, while by train or bus, the available stop is Baiano di Spoleto, just 200 metres from the park.
Book your ticket on www.tulipark.it and choose the day and package that best suits your needs.

Once again this year there will be a study week organised by the CISAM Foundation, now in its LXX edition, which from 13 to 19 April will propose meetings on Time in the Early Middle Ages.

A day in the open air immersed in the olive-growing landscape, rediscovering the value of conviviality and being together while discovering evocative and lesser-known places. Participants will be involved in various activities such as educational workshops, tasting courses, storytelling with experts (olive growers, millers, agronomists, historians), poetry readings on the theme of oil, dance performances and plays.
There will also be numerous events for children, young people and families such as Spoleto in Gioco (21 May), an entire day dedicated to playful workshop activities for children and young people in Piazza Garibaldi, Corso Garibaldi, Cantiere Oberdan, Villa Redenta Park, Piazzetta dell’Erba and the San Nicolò Monumental Complex.
