The park was created 1990–93 by architect Roberto Pirzio Biroli, for which he won the International Piranesi Award,[1] on a neglected site northwest of the town center. It covers 30 hectares between the Cormôr torrent and the Autostrada Alpe-Adria (A23), with dense plantings of woodland, open lawns, a belvedere, paths and small roads, and a children's play area.
