ITALY AT THE VILLA

On the last weekend of July, we warmly invite you to the Institute of Culture Villa Decjusza for a unique celebration of Italian culture, art and tradition. "Italy at the Villa" offers three days filled with cultural experiences – from concerts and exhibitions to thematic walks and dance performances. Expect inspiring encounters, wonderful guests and a true Italian atmosphere.

Our Renaissance residence in Wola Justowska opens its doors once again to everyone: our neighbors, Kraków residents, and visitors who value cultural experiences in an open and welcoming setting.

The event is organized in collaboration with Italian and local partners – combining passion for heritage, music, dance, and intercultural dialogue. All of this is framed by Italian hospitality.
