Saturday, April 4, 2026, we look forward to welcoming you to Borso del Grappa to celebrate the 50th anniversary of FIVL—and we want to celebrate it together with all of you!

What can you expect?

An open-air museum: the Vintage Expo
Join us for an exhibition of vintage paragliders and hang gliders, the pioneers’ gathering, and many other activities.
It will be a unique opportunity to step back in time and admire firsthand the equipment that gave rise to our great passion.

Exhibition of historic equipment. A journey through the paragliders and hang gliders that marked the evolution of flight.
Meet the pioneers. Untold stories. The key figures from the early years of free flight in Italy (pilots, instructors, former FIVL presidents) will be there to share stories and anecdotes and to answer your questions. The current FIVL board will also be present.

6:00 PM – 8:00 PM | Garden Relais Terrace
Special meeting with the pioneers and presentation of the book “Human Flight – Three Stories.” You will hear fascinating stories and previously untold accounts that shaped the history of free flight in Italy, and discover the behind-the-scenes of a legendary era marked by experimentation, courage, and many achievements.
