Parco Regionale dello Stirone e del Piacenziano was created at the end of 2011, by the unification of Parco Regionale Fluviale dello Stirone and Riserva Naturale Geologica del Piacenziano, and it is managed since 2012 by Ente di Gestione per i Parchi e la Biodiversità – Emilia Occidentale.
The Area Stirone develops at the sides of the stream by the same name, with a medium width of about 1 kilometre, from the locality La Villa, till the bridge on the via Emilia, in Fidenza, between the provinces of Parma and Piacenza.
Area Piacenziano is completely in the area of Piacenza and protects the nine stations of the ex Riserva, spread on five different valleys in the municipalities of Castell’Arquato, Lugagnano Val d’Arda, Vernasca, Gropparello and Carpaneto Piacentino.
The park is important for palaeontology, thanks to the presence of numerous fossils of the Tertiary and Quaternary era. It includes numerous paths: in Area Stirone, they are along the stream and coast in certain parts the canyons dug by water.
