List of national parks of Italy explained

The national parks of Italy are protected natural areas terrestrial, marine, fluvial or lacustrine, which contain one or more intact ecosystems (or only partially altered by anthropic interventions) and/or one or more physical, geological, geomorphological, biological formations of national and international interest, for naturalistic, scientific, cultural, aesthetic, educational, or recreational values, such as to justify the intervention of the State for their conservation.

There are 25 Italian national parks registered on the Official List of Protected Natural Areas (EUAP), and they together cover an area of over 16000abbr=onNaNabbr=on, which corresponds to approximately 5.3% of the Italian national territory.[1] The parks are managed by the Ministry of the Environment based in Rome (Italian: Ministero dell'Ambiente).[2]
