at the historic base of Facing, in Friuli Venezia Giulia, on 6 and 7 September 2025, transforming the base into a meeting point for thousands of spectators, industry professionals and aviation enthusiasts.
For over 60 years, the most authentic values of the National Acrobatic Patrol have flown on the wings of the aircraft that have followed one another at the controls of the Frecce pilots, synthesised in the tricolour that adorns their liveries. Different aircraft, different lines, but the same inspiring spirit: to convey the’pride and the emotion of our flag. A tradition that is renewed each time, taking up the challenge of history, with tradition embracing modernity, forms that meet elegance e Speed, to write the future without betraying the past: on the eve of our 65th Anniversary, a new livery is being prepared to adorn the wings of the Frecce Tricolori, once again with the ambition not to be just a dress, but a concentrate of typically Italian style and harmony, a true Renaissance of the tricolour.
The programme provides two days of great intensity, with spectacular air displays, commemorative flypasts, a static exhibition of military and historic aircraft, as well as institutional celebration events. There will also be opportunities to delve deeper into the history, technology, and values of the Aerobatic Team through cultural and educational activities.
The 65th anniversary of the Frecce Tricolori will not only be a celebration of the past, but a projection towards the future of aerial acrobatics and the strategic role that the Italian Air Force continues to play on the international stage.
Participation in the event is free and open to the public, subject to any safety and capacity limitations. Further logistical information, programme updates and access guidelines will be available on these web pages
