History

The deer population in the Casentino Forest National Park is one of the largest in peninsular Italy.

The bramito, or powerful roar, of the adult male deer during the mating season has long been a part of the region’s natural history.

Conservation efforts and deer reintroduction programs have played a significant role in preserving the species and maintaining the delicate balance of the park’s ecosystem.

The Bramito del Cervo event not only provides a unique opportunity to witness these majestic creatures but also raises awareness for the importance of their conservation and the protection of their natural habitat.
