Pineta Sacchetti is an urban park in Rome featuring a plateau covered with Roman pine trees and a valley area called Valle dell'Inferno. The park spans several hundred hectares and shows the contrast between the wooded upper sections and the more open zones below.
The park was created to preserve natural spaces within Rome's expanding city. This initiative reflected efforts to protect green areas during the city's modern urban growth.

The park is accessible through several entry points located near public transportation stops for easy access. Entry is free, allowing visitors to explore the paths and green areas at their own pace.
The area contains distinct ecological zones with Mediterranean pine forests that support numerous bird species in the heart of the city. This biodiversity makes it a surprising refuge for nature watching within Rome.
