entering the gate that opens on Via Gomenizza. A few
metres to the right of playground a wooden panel shows
the characteristics of the park and various environmental
points of interest. From here, we proceed forward,
seguitando a winding path but wide and spacious, marked
by a characteristic paved pavement in tozzetti tuff.

Sure-footed, we proceed anyway in peace on the bottom
