Where it takes place: between the Great Waterfall and the park's paths

The theme of the meeting, caring for a historic garden, finds concrete ground at Villa Gregoriana: the site revolves around the course of the Aniene and the Great Waterfall, now rarely visible with the flow it once had. FAI has managed it since the restoration that began in 2002. The Villa Gregoriana Park page describes the site, and for the natural setting it's worth opening Valle dell'Aniene Nature Reserve.
