Boscoincittà
Boscoincittà occupies Milan’s western area as a public park stretching across more than 120 hectares. Italy’s pioneering urban forestry project began here in 1974. Dense woods, broad meadows, winding watercourses, and a small lake shape the landscape.
Around 200 urban gardens bring local citizens into the park’s daily life and cultivation. Local residents tend these gardens throughout the grounds. Italia Nostra manages the space, which also contains Cascina San Romano, an old farmhouse. The farmhouse houses a library devoted to environmental education.
Walking, picnicking, cycling, and horseback riding offer ways to experience the woods and meadows. Watercourses and the small lake add distinct views along the way.
