Artificial dunes become natural environments
Artificially reconstructing a dune, using natural sand and covering the banks with spontaneous grasses present in a man-made area is by no means simple, but the challenge that Mario Rotella, former Director of the Public Gardens of La Spezia and now a freelancer, has taken on in the eastern area of Parco Treffz, has succeeded.
A natural environment recreated through careful design, which has preserved natural standards while combining a landscape and ornamental approach to create a compositional and expressive effect of intense impact.
The improvement of the Treffz Park, which began in 2000, has now come to an end, having been enriched in recent years with impressive structural and plant elements, such as the Japanese bridges and the dry river bed.
