Parco del Neto

Parco del Neto extends over 7 hectares of land, maintaining wetland features that represent the original valley landscape with natural overflow paths for the Arno River.

The estate previously belonged to French senator Ilario Ronillè Marchese di Boissy during the Napoleonic Empire and later to Count Ignazio Guiccioli, connected to Lord Byron.

The park preserves nineteenth-century landscape design elements with main pathways lined by lime, plane, and horse chestnut trees from that period.

The park functions as an ecological reserve within an urban setting, providing a natural environment for both recreation and environmental preservation.

The park contains rare Taxodium distichum specimens, North American trees that shed both leaves and branches in winter, reaching heights over fifty meters.
