This green area in the Affori District was dedicated to Luciana Cella Guffanti in 2018. She fought hard with the municipality to change its originally intended use – from a sports club private area to a green facility open to the neighbours.

The inauguration took place in 1976 and the 5 acre-park was immediately appreciated by all the people in that very residential area.

The park was created where there used to be a quarry; about 400 trees were planted, including elms, ashes, lindens, horse chestnuts, and oaks. There is also a children’s playground, some spaces dedicated to dogs and football fields.
