Where the whispers of maritime pines meet the heartbeat of the city’s cultural soul

A Green Haven of History and Harmony by the Sea: Pineta Zerbi’s Cultural and Recreational Embrace

Located between the bustling port, Viale Genoese Zerbi, and Via Roma, Pineta Zerbi is a green oasis in the vibrant heart of Reggio Calabria. This peaceful grove, once owned by the historic Zerbi family, is named after them and the majestic maritime pines that define its landscape. As a result, it has become a symbol of the city’s deep connection to both nature and the sea.

The park is more than a quiet retreat. In fact, it reflects Reggio Calabria’s identity and ongoing transformation. Within its shaded paths lies the Museum of Musical Instruments, home to the precious collection of Maestro Giuseppe Guzzi. This unique attraction offers a fascinating journey through the region’s musical heritage. Moreover, it enriches the experience of every visitor—whether a music lover, a cultural explorer, or simply curious.

Additionally, Pineta Zerbi welcomes families with its delightful children’s playground, affectionately known as the “Luna Park della Pineta.” Safe, playful, and vibrant, it creates joyful moments for the youngest visitors.

As part of the city’s larger waterfront renewal project, the pine grove blends urban life with coastal calm. Its strategic location makes it easy to reach, while its natural beauty invites relaxation. For this reason, it’s perfect for a scenic walk, a cultural stop, or an afternoon with the family.

Whether you’re drawn by history, music, or moments of peace, Pineta Zerbi invites you to breathe in the essence of Reggio Calabria.
