The hydroscalo park

The hydroscalo was active since the 1920s, when the Regia Aeronautica opened a flying school to prepare pilots to compete in the Schneider Cup. After the last edition of this competition in 1931, it was called the Experimental High Speed Department.
In 1934, one of the pilots from this department, Francesco Agello, won the world speed record.
Today, the area is divided: one part has become a public garden while the other remains military property that can be visited on certain days or events.
