Parco Regionale del Partenio, Avellino
Campania
The Parco Regionale del Partenio protects a 14,000 ha beech forest massif above Avellino. European wild cat was confirmed breeding in 2015. Wolf packs use the park for denning in April–May. The autumn colour (October) is the finest in Campania — the entire massif turns gold and amber. The Benedictine sanctuary of Montevergine (1,270 m) on the summit has been a pilgrimage site since 1119.
