An experience to do absolutely - Beautiful experience, Roberto shows a lot of experience and is proud of what he does, he caught our attention explaining everything we should have known to start the tour. The animals are incredible, I could admire the peregrine falcon and the golden eagle (His Majesty). It was a perfect tour, I would like to come back soon.

Splendid initiative - Beautiful experience. Roberto, in addition to being an extremely prepared guide, is a wonderful person. His explaining is very engaging, interactive and guiding in reasoning, ensuring that all new notions remain impressed. All the birds of prey that are shown (some even made to caress and hold), are beautiful. Special day.

Everything wonderfully perfect! - 4 precise hours from 10 am to 2 pm of pure and unexpected interest aroused by the talented Roberto who with his interactive method introduced us to the art of falconry, now a Unesco heritage site, and to the wonderful world of birds of prey, involving us and piquing our curiosity. We had the chance to get up close and personal with eagle owl, barn owl, buzzard and His Majesty Abel the Golden Eagle. A special thanks also to his family that makes this really special. Thanks again Roberto, keep it up! You are an excellence of our territory. Stefano Alessandra and Carmine

A wonderful morning thanks to the Fanconieri dei Setteventi - The experience was fabulous. We spent more than three hours fascinated by the competence and passion of Mr. Roberto Rugiano. We saw up close the Royal Owl, the Barbagianni, the Peregrine Falcon and His Majesty, the Golden Eagle. Our guide let us into their world in a very engaging and very uneducational way. We had our 15-year-old teenage children with us. For three hours they dropped their cell phones and got involved, learning something too. A little miracle, in short. Thanks again to the Fanconieri dei Setteventi for the magnificent and inspiring hours that allowed us to live

Falconry in the magical pollen - Beautiful experience to discover the art of falconry, in the wonderful context of the Pollino park. Roberto and his family welcomed us into their world, giving us the opportunity to discover the world of birds of prey in the company of beautiful specimens. From the eagle owl to the barn owl, from the peregrine falcon to the majestic golden eagle, a highly recommended experience,

Fantastic afternoon in the Calabrian countryside. - I visited this location while on a family trip to the Cosenza area with my wife and two of my children. Roberto and his family were very friendly and helpful, taking time to explain the lives of the birds of prey under their care. It was great to hear about their conservation work to bring these amazing birds back from the edge of extinction and their reintroduction to the wild. The whole session was very informative in a beautiful setting with the picturesque village of Civita in the background. If you are looking for something a bit different, getting up close to magnificent birds of prey and set in the Calabrian countryside, this is a must.

wonderful experience for the knowledge of superpredators .... - Beautiful experience that satisfied me well beyond expectations. If you decide to go for this experience I recommend it with all my heart. Know that this is a very educational and fascinating teaching experience. If you are looking for the "show" this is not the way. The staff is very knowledgeable, serious and very prepared. The most important "thing" is precisely the detailed, serious, scientific and historical explanation of birds of prey and Falconry. I think I will return as soon as possible to relive this experience. I wish the staff dealing with the birds of prey a heartfelt continuation of the work and care of the birds of prey. To manage these "superpredators" (as I learned to describe them too) surely takes a lot, a lot and a lot of passion, preparation, study, experience and absolute dedication for a lifetime. Thanks and see you soon, Ulderigo De Rose, Francesca Santambrogio and the Little Paolo De Rose........
