Today thanks to an ecological conscience many zones have become oasis or parks so that all can see a territory and history part that risked to disappear.
Instituted in 1998 the Park is situated between the
river basins of the Cornia river (to North) and of the Pecora river (to

hectares and includes a reserve natural integral ( Hill Three
Cancels ), instituted with D.M. in 1971, and situated in the Common
