Top 10 Nature & Parks in Rome, Lazio
Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

Every day at noon, the canon fires (blancs of course) across the city a tradition since 1847, on the order of Pope Pius IX. In addition to a spectacular view there is an interesting park with the statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi on his horse and along the road nearby busts of famous soldiers who died in the process of the unifaction of the various states and the battles that ensued. Further along can be found Giuseppe's wife Anita also on horse-back, a pistol in one hand her baby in the other - some girl!

My most favorite park in Rome, the view is stunning over the city, also the view to Piazza del Popolo is wonderful; so much banch to have a sit under palms, nice fountains; the Villa Borghese is accessible from this vast expansif Pincio Gardens; plenty of attractions; you can rent bikes or a riscio, operated with a mixture of pedal or an electrical power and that make for a very relaxed tour to see all the park; I find it also very relaxing on a banch, in the sunshine of Rome and see waching people, children playing; ideal also for a nice picnic; you will never feel bored ; or it's great to observe inspection from the police, riding on white horses, with posh elegance.

A sort of Neverland. The place was invented as a Walt Disney land for adults, mini casino, mini Theatre, mini palace, folie ruins of bygone Ancient Rome, a wintergarden based upon Kew Gardens, then Musolini took it over in the 20's and rented it for 1 Lire a year ( atneth of a cent). It was abandoned after the war but recently overhauled and even more recently recenved an upgraded trim and conditioning of the gardens. Truly magic and slightly off the beaten track. Wonderful. A lot of people train here, sports wise, but not too many.

Just past the Catacombs lays what used to be the main road leading into Rome from the east. According to tradition, both St. Peter and St. Paul walked this way to their future execution in the Eternal City. St. Peter even had a vision of Jesus while trying to escape persecution. A nearby church by Catacombe St. Sebastiano houses the (supposed) footprints of Jesus from this encounter. The park is very long. I would not recommend renting a bike, because the ancient road itself is basically a collection of huge stones of volcanic origin and huge gaps between them. Just arm yourself with super good shoes and on you go enjoying the journey of the ancient.
