Parco Di Vittorio, Urban park in Turin, Italy.
Parco Di Vittorio lies in the Lingotto Vecchio area of Turin's Circoscrizione 8, split by Via Passo Buole. The larger southern part, crossed by the tree-lined pedestrian avenue Augusto Monti, holds the "La Casetta" meeting centre and a small fountain-lake; trees still mark corners of the former cemetery quadrilateral. The northern part, nicknamed "i Pizzi", borders the civic centre and holds a small sports field and the Paschetto baseball stadium.
The park was established by Turin as part of its urban development and named after Giuseppe Di Vittorio, an Italian labor union leader. This naming connects the space to local working-class history and social heritage.
The park's name honours trade unionist Giuseppe Di Vittorio, and the surrounding streets are named after anti-fascist figures such as Augusto Monti, Barbara Allason, Donato Bachi and Giuditta Sidoli. The northern section is nicknamed "i Pizzi" and is the traditional meeting point for younger visitors, while a bocce court nearby draws older players.
The park is split in two by Via Passo Buole, where tram line 18 stops; lines 2, 14, 41, 63 and 74 also run nearby. The southern half, crossed by the pedestrian avenue Augusto Monti, holds the lake-fountain and the "La Casetta" meeting centre, while the northern part, known as "i Pizzi", borders the civic centre and the Paschetto baseball stadium. The 2024 water features are open in summer.
Some trees still mark the corners of the southern quadrangle, remnants of the Lingotto cemetery built here in 1788 and closed before World War II. The park also hosts an ARPA Piemonte air-quality monitoring station.
