Abruzzo Lazio and Molise National Park

Almost one hundred years after its foundation, the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park is still in full swing and one of the most popular protected areas in Europe. Ancient beech forests, limestone walls, rushing streams and vast meadows surround small, charming villages.

Saharan sand

In the collective imagination, the Sahara, the largest desert on the Planet, is a hostile place, an endless expanse of trouble and solitude. The merciless sun, the furious wind, the storms and the lack of water seem to make life impossible there.

Of wolves and light

Fast, wary, curious, intelligent. Ungraspable. With their presence, wolves make an environment lively and unpredictable, guaranteeing the health of an ecosystem and exciting encounters for those who follow in their footsteps.

Apart from the world-renowned cultural and historical riches, Italy is also the country with the highest biodiversity in Europe.
