A little off the beaten track lies this mansion, brimming with mementos of glorious Italian aviators. You wouldn't expect this in the middle of an old mansion. A little quirky, but charming, and worth a detour on the way to Ferrera!

Here you not only have a magnificent Venetian villa, but now also the important air and space museum, which is unique in Europe.

It houses an extraordinary collection of aircraft, relics and documents relating to the history of flight: from Leonardo da Vinci's “Flying Machines” to Gabriele D'Annunzio's flight over Vienna, considered the “most beautiful flight act of all time”, to modern aerospace companies .

The castle of San Pelagio is the home of the Zamora Counts, who hosted Gabriele D'Annunzio in 1918. Inside the castle it is possible to visit the flight museum, with models, photos and vintage films, in the park you can see helicopters and planes. By paying a supplement you can take a 45-minute guided tour to visit the rooms where Gabriele D'Annunzio was a guest, with various personal objects and where he is told about the flight over Vienna in 1918, which started right from the airfield created at the castle of Saint Pelagius.
