RIO CAVANELLA PARK |
- Covering about 12 hectares just uphill from the the residential section of Zola near
the Abbey, between Via Raibolini and Via Belvedere, the creation of this park was
made possible as part of the renewal project promoted by the Region of Emilia Romagna,
which subsidized it in 1988. The project called for the requalification of the landscape
and environment of the agricultural and urbanized flatlands in favor planting of rows
or swaths of local varieties of trees, and even actual forests. Between 1990 and 1991
about 3000 trees were planted including ash, field maple, white poplar, wild cherry,
English oak, etc. This public woodland park provides a “green lung”- a breath of fresh
air easily accessible to everyone.
