If you feel like disconnecting with the background noises that don't leave us, sometimes, even at night, then it means you are looking for a quiet area!
A quiet area is not necessarily silent, but rather an area where there are particular kinds of noise such as the flow of water or the chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, that are generally perceived as pleasant. Collected places where can stop and enjoy the company of a book, sit on a bench, take the dog out and relax a little.
The European Union requires for the member states to draw up Strategic Noise Mapping and Action Plans every five years.
For now, five areas have been identified (see below for details) but more will soon be added, also in anticipation of the update of the Noise Remediation Plan. Other quiet areas in a number of parks will also be added to this list during 2023: of Mensola (Coverciano area), the Area Pettini Burresi (Cure area) and Anconella (south Florence).
