The park La Selva was founded by Prince Antonello Ruffo di Calabria, who in the 70s had a clear view of the environmental and landscape potential of the Paliano territory.
The Prince has created an impressive bird park of approximately 44 hectares of land, with ponds and varieties of birds from all over the world, including some donated by Fidel Castro.
In its original 430 hectares he had also implanted vines for the production of the Passerina Frusinate (White wine) and Cesanese DOCG (red)
Here there was a beltline where steam trains operated and also some scenes were made of the film 'We just have to cry' with Massimo Troisi and Roberto Benigni.
The bird park is now owned by the Lazio Region.
