Historical events

In 1870 the Park passed from Pontifical State property to the Italian State and remained the main tourist attraction of the area of Tivoli until the First World War, the year in which the State acquired Villa d'Este. Although the unique beauty of the place and the recognized historical and artistic valour, "Villa Gregoriana" Park remained closed to the public for many years, mainly because of the lack of maintenance, which has determined the serious and widespread situation consisting of a state of deterioration, both in the vegetation and in the structures.
