Bambuseto

Bamboo is an ornamental grass marked by enormous morphological variability. In botanical terms, it is a very vigorous evergreen bush, with a bundled root system. The culms are woody and, generally, erect in bearing. Ecologically sustainable and highly sturdy while being very light at the same time, bamboo has for some time become one of the materials most appreciated in architecture, employed above all as a supporting element. By the 19th century, the giant bamboo had already been introduced into many gardens in Rome. Although specific documentation is lacking, its introduction into the Porto estate, and in particular into the area adjacent to the Navalia, may be deduced to be connected to the building of the Zoo Safari in this area, which opened to the public in the 1970s.
