His love for hunting brought to the creation of the Mansion, completed by the architects Chenchi and Marvuglia.
This 10 km (from Rossella) walk will be also a precious occasion for Birdwatching lovers to admire the Black Starling (a bird that lives just in Spain, Sicily and Sardinia) that uses to nest on the roofs of the Royal Mansion.
