Oasi di Ninfa

Several papal families fought over Ninfa, which was at various times destroyed and rebuilt. As the result of papal wars and inter-family disputes, the town was substantially destroyed in 1382 leading to an exodus of the population and an unstoppable decay that lasted until the 20th century.

In the early 1920s, Caetani family set out to restore Ninfa, laying out the foundations for a garden today counted among the most beautiful in the world. (fonte: sito Oasi di Ninfa)
