Wolf Draeger Aug 29, 2012:
Nature park, conservation park Maybe keep it in ITA, with a brief explanation in parentheses? Something like "...Valletta del Corno (a nature park)...".

Is there a more suitable term than nature/natural/conservation park?
Wolf Draeger Aug 29, 2012:
Yes, seems to be a natural park in the sense that it is not kept up or maintained, but left alone as a natural area. Again according to Wikipedia (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorizia):

"Vi sono numerosi parchi e giardini pubblici all'interno della città, oltre quelli che circondano le molte ville ottocentesche. Vi sono poi spazi verdi restati allo stato naturale, quali il Parco del Castello e la Valletta del Corno, che si estende tra il rione di Straccis ed il centro cittadino, lungo il corso del torrente Corno, dove sono presenti anche appezzamenti di terreno a destinazione agricola
Rachel Fell Aug 29, 2012:
I agree with Tom's comment (in this discussion box).
Jeannette Connors (asker) Aug 29, 2012:
Thanks everyone for your comments and help. After a bit more research from the link Raffaella provided and Wolf's comments this appears to be a park (perhaps in the regions of Valletta, per Tom's comment that Valletta is a place), as the file I'm working on is about restoration of the river that runs through Goridizia.
Wolf Draeger Aug 29, 2012:
OK Tks Raffaella.
Raffaella Berry Aug 29, 2012:
There is also a Corno river in Friuli Venezia-Giulia: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corno_(fiume_Friuli-Venezia_Giu...
Wolf Draeger Aug 29, 2012:
More context Hi Jeannette, could you provide more text and context?

According to Wikipedia, the Corno River is in Lazio (central ITA), whereas the first Google search results for Valletta del Corno link to a park in Gorizia (north-east ITA), so it doesn't appear to be the same place...

Is it not perhaps Vallata del Corno?
Tom in London Aug 29, 2012:
Yes Yes, it's a place. All you need to do is google for it.
