| Woods and climate |
|
It is a town in which there is a happy compromise between the natural and manmade environment. During the hot summer the climate is made cooler by the 20,000 hectares of luxuriant woodland surrounding the town, making it an ideal holiday location. The woods are a very important presence for the inhabitants of Piazza Armerina. In fact they love jogging, going mushrooming and picking sparrow-grasses. Ronza Park, a few Kilometres far from Piazza, draws many daytrippers, particularly from the neighbouring towns. Here one can have pleasant picnics and spend beautiful hours amongst nature. In the woods of "Bellia", on 28th of every month, an important fair of agricultural and cattle-breeding items takes place. |
