The Parks of Italy have been separated into four categories which feature the country's most beautiful open spaces.
The largest of these open spaces are the National Parks of which there are 25 with the largest being the Pollino National Park which covers the two Italian regions of Calabria and Basilicata with a total area of 1,925 km². A much smaller category featuring just ten different parks is the Nature Reserves of Italy with highlights including the Riserva Naturale dello Zingaro in Sicily and the expansive Adamello Brenta Nature Park in Trentino Alto Adige South Tyrol. |

The Regional Parks of Italy section includes four parks including the Matese Regional Park in Campania and the Po Delta Regional Park in Emilia Romagna.
Nine parks make the list of City Parks of Italy starting with the huge Villa Borghese in Rome and the sprawling Parco Sempione in Milan which is home to some of the city's most famous sights. Some of the most attractive city parks can be found in southern Italy including Villa Comunale in Lecce and the pretty Villa Giulia in Palermo, the capital of Sicily.
