Description

"Torretta de Massimi" Prince Lancellotti's family estate since 1600's,
is situated on 360 acres of rolling, natural woodlands and manicured
gardens right in the heart of Rome (15min from Vatican);Torretta is
one of the 13 nature parks situated within Rome's city boundaries
where sacred woods blend with cultivated fields, ancient farmhouses
and medieval tower stand next to patrician residences, and precious
olive trees grow side-by-side native cork oaks and pine trees. There
is an intense perfume of cultivated land, while the metropolis is well
behind you. It's picture postcard landscape that is both sweet and
savage is living proof of an incredible bio-diversity successfully
preserved. Sceneries unfolding before the visitor's eyes are often
the same ones celebrated by Goethe or landscape painters of the 19th
century. Inhale scents, colors, flavors and sensations that still
exist today and represent an invaluable heritage that must be
treasured and appreciated. Make friends with the farm's donkeys,
bunnies and newly hatched chicks. Visit an ancient drinking trough
full of newly hatched pollywogs. Follow along a well-maintained
footpath traversing a cork forest in search of signs of habitat from a
great number of wild animals such as fox, beechmartens, weasels,
lodgers, porcupines, and pheasant that take refuge in the wooded areas
of the property. For children and adults alike, "Torretta de Massimi "
nature reserve is an open air classroom
