Pantanello was born in 1991, when the Caetani foundation and the WWF decided to return an alfalfa field beside the walls of Ninfa to its natural state, following the studies of the botanist Augusto Beguinot on the original flora of the area. Today it covers about 100 hectares: 20% wetland, 30% woodland and the rest meadow and scrub, with a pond in which the walls of Ninfa are reflected.
