Presentation

Colle della Strega is an association of people - independent of any political party - whose aim is to protect the Cecchignola Valley and particularly the survival of Cecchignola Ditch.
Cecchignola Valley is a green area in the southern zone of Rome, Italy.
It has a particular environmental importance, since the presence of the "Cecchignola Ditch" and a bank vegetation (wood) around the ditch. It joins the "Appia Antica natural park", the "Laurentina natural reserve" and natural Park of the Roman coast. Furthermore the areaguarantees the connection between the three previous reserves and the environmental system of the Tiber.

.... and we fight for this!
