Leonessa. The Deer Park of Albaneto

In the hamlet of Albaneto of Leonessa, you can visit the “Deer Park” created from the passion for the animals of Nicola Stocchi, founder of restaurant “La Tana del Lupo” in 1967.

The park houses some thirty specimens and offers them shelter in complete harmony with the environment, with the ability to reproduce.

Here,in addition to enjoying the great local cuisine, you can visit the five-acre park and the old town of Albaneto in a motorsidecar. Nicola calls every animal by name, and they come without fear, taking the food directly from his hands.

Today, this unique park has become a point of reference for children and a reminder for tourists who want to get closer to nature.
