Where in Italy Riserva Naturale Speciale del Meisino e dell'Isolone di Bertolla
This reserve, covering an area of 245 hectares, is situated between Stura di Lanzo and the river Po, in the Municipalities of Turin and San Mauro Torinese. Within the reserve there is also Isolone di Bertolla, delimited in the south by the river Po and in the north by the canal of Azienda Energetica Metropolitana. The holm represents a real nature sanctuary in the middle of the town, preserved by the building attack for its inaccessibility. Of particular interest the presence of nests of Grey Herons on the poplars, a unique example in Italy of urban place where herons nest.
