The Parco del Pineto is a valley, the so-called “Valle dell’Inferno” (Valley of Hell), once extending to the Vatican walls and characterized by furnaces and limestone for the construction of St. Peter’s Basilica.

The cork oak, maple and birch trees are predominant here. Among the wildlife there are dormice and water-snakes. The park also contains traces of a previous ecological structure.[1]
