Castelli Romani Regional Park is a protected natural area in the Lazio region of the Colle Albani region of Rome. Municipalities that are part of it.
Castelli Romani Park was established under Regional Act 2/1984 to protect the integrity of the natural and cultural characteristics of the 15 countries (Albano Lazial, Arequia, Castell Gandolfo, Frascati, Gianzano de Roma, Grottaferrata, Lanovio, Lariano, Marino, Monti Compatry and Monte Porzio Catoni, Baba, Rocca Priora and Fletri), which occupy the ancient Lazale volcano and Pomezia, are included to protect the remains of ancient oak trees on the slopes of the hills.
The park is a foundation of Lazio. It is organized with various institutional bodies: President, Board of Directors, Community Park, Board of Auditors. The organization was assigned a general manager who coordinates the activities of the various offices and garden guards.
province
This regional park of natural and artistic interest extends in the area of the old Laziale volcano. Many of the municipalities of Castelli Romani are involved in protected areas of the park, including Nemi, whose territory lies entirely within its borders.
Of special interest are the Tusculum archaeological site, as well as numerous Tuscan villas. The park also includes Lake Albano (also called Castel Gandolfo Lake), Lake Nemi and finally the Sogreta de Pomzia Nature Reserve.
The establishment of the park has also led to greater floral protection: chestnut forests, which cover an important part of the territory, are subject to continuous and periodic inspections that prevent random objects. Protecting the waters of the lake basins and the fire-fighting service are essential elements for maintaining the ecosystem balance: two other tasks designated by the various FAO services to carry out.
In the area of biodiversity protection, it is important to emphasize the importance of supporting agriculture in the region, which allows the defense of crops that have otherwise been destined to disappear in the face of market logic. Parco dei Castelli Romani also plays an important role in landscape protection and control of regional urban development.
the animals

An environment that contains many different plant species and is characterized by rich growth and luxury allows the development of life, even for the most evasive animal species. Old hollow trees are perfect for nesting the owl. Provides an abundance of oak dining for squirrels and wai. Crow is loud and colorful. Extremely thick wood provides refuge in the badger, fish and nectar; abundant passers-by such as blackbirds, rubens, tombs, black caps and blue dream provide opportunities for food for the great bird.
Old trees are often frequented by green woodpecker and large spotted woodpecker. The rabbit, the hedgehog and the mullet, tend to drink bottles rich in long grass and isolated shrubs.
