The ancient art of Falconry - Wonderful experience: nature walk accompanied by Pietro , excellent guide. After a picnic break in a very familiar and pleasant atmosphere, Roberto enraptured us with his passion and high professionalism describing the life, characteristics and feeding of birds of prey such as the eagle owl, the peregrine falcon and his majesty the golden eagle. It is to be redone and especially recommended... thank you very much.

Discovering birds of prey. - We visited the Setteventi del Pollino in Civita with my family and it was a really nice and interesting experience. The guide proved extremely prepared, passionate and engaging: he was able to capture the attention of adults and children with clear and curious explanations. Birds of prey are wonderful to see up close, imposing and fascinating. It is a unique opportunity to observe these creatures up close, learn about them and understand their role in the ecosystem. I highly recommend this visit to anyone in the area, especially families: it is educational, exciting and really leaves its mark!

Magic between sky and birds of prey - The visit to this place in Civita was one of the most beautiful and surprising experiences of my trip. Not only have I learned a great deal about hawks, owls and eagles, but I was especially struck by the passion and love with which those responsible take care of their birds of prey. It is exciting to see these magnificent animals up close, but even more beautiful is to discover the deep bond that has existed for centuries between humans and birds of prey. An authentic place, full of respect for nature, which I recommend to everyone from the heart.

A wonderful day - Everything perfect, starting with the friendly lunch at the property. Extreme competence and passion always shine through in the words of Roberto and Pietro (the son). Clear vision on the future of birds of prey and clear ideas on what to do to help its birds of prey and birds of prey in general not to become extinct. To repeat absolutely and, above all, to advertise / sponsor.

An unforgettable experience - We spent a wonderful day with the family with their children of 5 years and 6 months from the Setteventi falconry. It was an unforgettable experience, which remains with us for life. The guide was very informative, the owner's story transported us to another world, a charming world of birds of prey. He revealed information we would not find anywhere - a true lover of birds of prey and nature. You can tell he puts all his heart into it. In fact, my son was frozen and all silent listening to the owner's stories and he is one who is never still. At the end of the day he said: This was really a wonderful day! It was worth it for us! I recommend going to everyone.

Encounters with impressive birds - The afternoon at *Falconieri dei Setteventi* was wonderful. Roberto, the falconer, welcomed us warmly. We took our seats on a small, covered stand. In front of us opened a well-tended natural area, framed by trees, olive groves, and ancient stones. But everything remained quiet. No bird took flight, no wings fluttered. Roberto began to speak – about birds of prey, their traits, their strength, and their vulnerability. He explained that no animal here is made to perform. Everything happens calmly, with respect. Communicating via ChatGPT was a bit of a challenge, but our six-year-old son managed to stay engaged for nearly three hours. At the end, Roberto introduced his most impressive companion: a golden eagle. The bird was enormous, with a piercing gaze and a powerful body – yet it sat still, secure, almost serene in its place.
