VILLA SARGIANO Nestled in the Bosco di Sargiano Protected Natural Area, a pristine oasis that dominates Arezzo like a watchtower over the city. On the northern slopes of Mount Lignano, you can immerse yourself in the secret and welcoming Bosco di Sargiano, a protected natural area for centuries within the walls of a former Franciscan convent. At 397 meters above sea level, among olive trees, oaks, sessile oaks, cypresses, and holm oaks , the villa and summer pool are surrounded by the 10 hectares of the protected natural area. Villa Sargiano, with its 7500 meters of exclusive parkland, woodland, and garden, demonstrates a profound respect for nature. The Bosco di Sargiano is also protected as a site of community interest due to the presence of sessile oak (Quercus petraea), which grows particularly lush here. 19 other tree species have been recorded there—in addition to the prized sessile oak—and 49 species of shrubs and herbs. Less stress, more relaxation, and a stronger immune system. In Japanese, Shirin-yoku (森林浴, in English, "enjoying the forest atmosphere" or "forest bathing").

On January 5, 2021, the CNR (National Research Council) published a review of the book: “ Forest Therapy , ” published by CNR Edizioni, the result of a year and a half of work completed in 2020, jointly between the CAI, on the initiative of its Tuscan Scientific Committee , received and expanded by the Central Scientific Committee (CAI-CSC), and the Institute for BioEconomy of the National Research Council (CNR-IBE), with the scientific collaboration of Cerfit at AOU Careggi , which for the first time systematically collects and extends the state of scientific knowledge on Forest Therapy . This discipline, which originated in the Far East and is now widespread throughout the world, so much so that it presents itself in all respects as a tool of complementary medicine available to the National Health Service. The title "Forest Therapy," in its simplicity, underscores the intent to fill, based on scientific rigor and the multidisciplinary contributions of doctors, biologists, foresters, physicists, psychologists, and other professionals, a gap temporarily filled by widespread and growing initiatives, but not always based on objective criteria and verifiable standards.
“We wanted to create a scientific framework of evidence collected worldwide during thirty years of research, and hundreds of scientific publications, regarding the direct effects of forest environments on the mental and physiological health of visitors,” says Federica Zabini of Cnr-Ibe, curator of the work.
Forest Therapy , according to the book published by the CNR (National Research Council), is the result of research conducted in the spring and summer of 2020: "With respect to the Covid-19 pandemic, a further active and beneficial role for forests in containing the spread of the infection and, above all, its lethality has recently been proposed. Specifically, these effects are linked to the emission into the atmosphere by plants and forest soil, and consequent inhalation, of certain biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), particularly certain terpenes with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and psychological and cognitive benefits." The unexpected Covid-19 pandemic that struck the world in early 2020 raised several important questions. First, twenty-first-century humanity, even in the fortunate developed countries, has suddenly become aware of its vulnerability not only as an individual but even as a species, despite all the technological and medical advances accumulated since at least the first industrial revolution. Faced with this global threat, the response from scientific research has been impressive and quite moving, both in the search for effective treatments and in preventing further pandemics. In this latter field of research, the primary role of forests has emerged very clearly. "It is now fully included among the many valuable ecosystem services provided by forests. Immersion in the forest produces direct and measurable effects with a broad-spectrum effect that affects, among other things, the psychological, neurological, cardiovascular, and immune systems."
