Seaplanes, fighters and historic aircraft in the hangars of Italy's first air base, on the shore of Lake Bracciano; closed on Mondays.

At Vigna di Valle, on the south shore of the lake, Italy's first military airship took off in 1908 and the seaplane base was here. Today the hangars hold the historical museum of the Air Force: from First World War aircraft to jets, with a room devoted to the Schneider Trophy racing seaplanes. It is a visit that hooks children and teenagers.
Opening times and ticket
Open Tuesday to Sunday and closed on Mondays. On weekdays, the Ministry of Culture publishes hours from 10:00 to 16:30; at weekends the hours are longer. It does not take part in the free entry on the first Sunday of the month. Confirm the hours and price on the Air Force website or on 06 9988 7510 before you go.
Getting there
It is about 6 km from Bracciano, along the road that skirts the lake towards Anguillara. You need a car: the train does not stop nearby. Combine it with the castle in the morning and lunch at Trevignano or Anguillara.
