Parco Pallavicino

Description

The park covers an area of about 18 hectares  with alternating flowering avenues, meadows, large old trees and a charming summer garden Villa Pallavicino was a private residence in 1855, when it was purchased by Ruggero Bonghi, statesman and writer.
In 1862 the ownership was transferred to the noble Genoese Pallavicino family who enlarged the estate, transforming it into a nineteenth-century neoclassical style villa. In 1956 the Pallavicino family decided to transform their marvelous garden into a wildlife museum open to the public.

In July 2017, the Pallavicino Park became part of the Borromeo tourist circuit.

The trees are the greatest feature of this park: centuries old chestnut trees and liriodendrons, among the oldest in Italy, red beeches, maples, larches, the majestic ginko biloba, tall sequoias and fragrant magnolias. A real attraction is the imposing cedar of Lebanon, in the natural amphitheatre outside the villa.

The Pallavicino Park is famous above all for its 50 species of animals that have found shelter for the reproduction, such as cangaroos, zebras, deers and dwarf goats. There is also a farm area with meek Tibetan goats, “saltasassi” sheep, sheep, llamas and deer that live free in the grounds and look for contact with young visitors.
