Open Day at the Historical Archives on Saturday 9 May

On 9 May 2026, the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) at the European University Institute (EUI) will open its doors for its annual Open Day at Villa Salviati. The event coincides with the European Union’s yearly celebration of Europe Day and is part of the EUI's 50th anniversary programme of festivities and events in 2026.

Students from Florence high schools, together with volunteers from the Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano (FAI) – Florence Delegation, will lead guided tours of Villa Salviati and its gardens. At the same time, HAEU archivists will accompany visitors through the archival deposits that house the records of European Union institutions and agencies.
