This is surely the main park of Faenza, a green set of lungs par excellence. It is located on what was once called piazza d'armi (the name has survived in the tradition of Faenza), up until the early 1900’s used for military drills and then as a horse pasture until the end of the 1960’s. In the early 1970’s the Municipality of Faenza restored the gardens with the precious collaboration, from a fauna and botanic point of view, of Roberto Bucci, the industrialist from Faenza to which the park is dedicated and the naturalist garden nursery keeper ...
Even though small in size – just over half a hectare, with 270 plants – with its almost superseded aspect, the Rocca park has historical and documentary value (together with its recreational and ecological value), mainly for the fact that it is the oldest public garden in Faenza. It was first created in the early 1960’s with the name “The Children’s Park” in the area of the ex lawn of the Rocca, that had only the avenue of plane trees (still present) connected to the Avenue. It was originally a zoological garden that was progressively reduced i...
This is perhaps the most beautiful park of the historical centre. It extends for almost one hectare (precisely 9.209 square metres) and has over 330 plants of which almost 230 tall trees. The older part of the park, bordering with Palazzo Tassinari (and therefore on the Via Castellani side) immediately shows its derivation of small 1800’s private garden (of the adjacent building and that is now property of the Municipality, as for the green area), where the characteristic elements are still recognisable, such as the pond (with brick bridge) and...
Covering 5,554 square meters, with some ninety trees, this park has some recent and an old, built on an old icehouse, now inaccessible and unusable but which is still the "hill", with an interesting cover periwinkles, laurotini and oaks, which represents the most interesting, and old (countryman hundred years) of the park. The rest are to report the good parts of the walls manfrediane (mid '400) that encircled the village and bordering the park to date. On the wall facing the entrance, in addition to the structure "arched" recognizable, you can...
The park, today botanic garden and the “living part” of the Natural Science Museum, was created on the land of the ex Paganini-Paganelli nursery in the early 1980’s while it was still partially occupied with plants. These were maintained as far as possible, as can still be seen in the “geometric” plan of several sectors, such as that of the holm oak and the various conifers of the eastern side. Almost only autochthonous species were used in the new plantations, spontaneous flora of Romagna with evident didactic and naturalistic intentions. The ...
