Bosco della Panfilia

The Panfilia Wood extends across 81 hectares along the northern edge of the Reno River, featuring natural woodlands and reforested sections.

The forest developed after a catastrophic flood in 1750 destroyed the estate of Marquis Panfilio Facchinetti, leaving alluvial deposits that supported new vegetation growth.

The Italian Botanical Society designated this location as a biotope of significant vegetational interest in 1971, recognizing its environmental importance.

Visitors need specific permits for mushroom collection within the forest, as both edible and poisonous varieties grow among the 176 documented species.

During spring and autumn high water periods, sections of the forest transform into a flooded woodland, creating temporary wetland environments.
