A canister of petrol and a
threatening letter were found outside the HQ of the Carabinieri
park rangers in the Circeo National Park and nature reserve on
Sunday.
The rangers got the solidarity of Deputy Premier Luigi Di
Maio and Environment Minister Sergio Costa, among others.
The Parco Nazionale del Circeo (National Park of Circeo) was
founded by Benito Mussolini in 1934.
It occupies a strip of coastal land from Anzio to Terracina,
including also a sector of forest in the mainland of San Felice
Circeo, and the island of Zannone.
The park was established to preserve the last remains of the
Pontine Marshes which were being reclaimed in that period.
It is the only national park in Italy to occupy only a plain
and coastal area.
