A former quarry transformed into a green lung for leisure, which could become an outdoor space for shows and artistic initiatives. The recovery operations of the Corna Rossa in the Virle valley are nearing completion. «Benches will be set up for relaxing and a circular path that will allow you to walk in the midst of nature, enjoying the beauty of the panorama of the quarries just a few meters away - announces the councilor for Caves and Environment of Rezzato, Matteo Capra -. The installation of the metal fence to protect the rock face has been completed, creating an inaccessible buffer zone to guarantee the safety of visitors. Tree planting operations are also underway which will form a green barrier, further enriching the urban environment. The sowing operations will be completed in February and March.

The new park will have a unique and evocative place as its backdrop, in fact, the recovery of the former Corna Rossa quarry, which owes its name to the reddish color of the earth, has been underway for some time and is preparing to soon become a sort of paradise environmental.
