An unforgettable experience - Today we had a truly fantastic experience at the Falconers of the Seven Winds, in the heart of the wonderful Pollino National Park. We spent about three beautiful, exciting, and super interesting hours, during which we were able to see many spectacular birds of prey up close: hawks, golden eagles, and even the magnificent great horned owl. A huge compliment goes to both those who explained everything to us with great passion and expertise, and to those who showed us these beautiful animals, allowing us to experience a unique and engaging experience. You can really feel the love and respect they have for these birds of prey. A perfect activity for adults and children, immersed in the nature of Pollino. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience something special!

In the world of king eagles - Wonderful introduction to the world of falconry and the lives of birds of prey. Roberto and his son brought us close to owls, king eagles, peregrine falcons and others without performing them like in a circus show. The respectful treatment of the animals impressed us. It's also worth a bigger detour.

Unforgettable afternoon for young and old - I was there on Easter Monday, with my family, after visiting the beautiful village of Civita, and we could not make a better choice. It was a really exciting educational journey. Roberto is an extremely prepared person, transmits all the love for his work, and together with his son guided us to the discovery of birds of prey impeccably. Special thanks also to Roberto's wife, a very kind person who welcomed us warmly and also did her best to take some pictures with the golden eagle. Unique experience also for my daughters who had a great time: being able to caress and hold birds of prey on their arm was a unique emotion that they will remember forever. The environment is very nice and the view very suggestive. Highly recommended for families!

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
