Monaco, next to Villaggio Mancuso in the town of Taverna, is characterized by an area mainly covered with pure larch formations. The presence of man and the forest exploitation derive exactly from the richness of this forest. The rural complex of the National Forest Service was born here approximately in the 1920s: from here, foresters implement careful exploitation, reforestation, environmental protection, and fire protection policies. It is after the 1980s that, thanks to a continuous commitment of creative resources, Monaco Visitor Center becomes a modern multipurpose complex surrounded by nature, having the goal to preserve the memory of the agricultural and breeding activities that have always characterized this area.
