A Prehistoric Park in Tuscany

This beautiful park hosts more than twenty replicas, including a nice volcano

On a land originally full of shells, strange footprints, fossilized remains, Erardo Ghironi, a former circus performance, and his family bought a house that was later developed in to a stunning prehistoric park.

To allow children to enjoy these little treasures of the past together with their friends, teachers and family, Mr Ghironi decided to rebuild this prehistoric itinerary in a way that could be both scientifically relevant and entertaining. In 1977 the Parco Preistorico was born on Peccioli.

Today this beautiful area hosts more than twenty replicas including a nice volcano that erupts coloured balls and full-scale reproduction of  Jurassic Brachiosaurus, the greatest dinosaur rebuilt in Europe. It also offers guided tours among lifelike models of dinosaurs, a playing area for children and welcoming zone for adults and families.

Amo l'Asia in (quasi) tutte le sue sfaccettature, ecco perché cerco di trascorrerci più tempo possibile. Dopo aver lavorato per anni come ricercatrice a New Delhi e Hong Kong, per qualche anno osserverò l'Oriente dalla quella che è considerata essere la città più vivibile del mondo: Melbourne. Insegno Culture and Business Practice in Asia ad RMIT University,  Asia and the World a The University of Melbourne e mi occupo di India per il Centro Militare di Studi Strategici di Roma.
