Bosco della Panfilia, Forest reserve near Sant'Agostino, Italy.

Bosco della Panfilia is an 81-hectare floodplain forest in Sant'Agostino, Terre del Reno, on the left bank of the Reno where the river bends. Of its surface, 50 hectares are natural woodland, 28 are native-species replantings begun in the early 1980s, and 3 are tracks and drainage ditches. Pedunculate oak, narrow-leaved ash and white poplar dominate the canopy, with white willow along the riparian edges.

The woodland developed following a catastrophic flood in 1750 that destroyed the mansion standing at the site. The river's sediment deposits left behind created favorable conditions for diverse vegetation to establish itself.

The forest is named after the "rotta Panfilia", the 1750 breach of the Reno that destroyed the villa and lands of the local marquis Panfilo Fachinetti. The wood grew on the alluvial deposit the flood left behind, and the name "Panfilia" has been used for the area ever since.

Mushroom collection requires special permits since both edible and poisonous species grow throughout the forest. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and take care on wet ground, particularly during periods of high water in spring and autumn.

During spring and autumn high water periods, large forest sections become temporarily flooded, transforming into marshy wetlands. These seasonal changes create special habitats that visitors can observe during visits at these times of year.
